Hi-Hat Calibration; Storing Trig Edit Settings; Exploring Optimal Sensitivity And Threshold Settings - Pearl Red Box RBM 20 Owner's Manual

HI-HAT CALIBRATION

The Hi-hat calibration is pre-set at the factory with the TRIM settings set at
OPEN = 75 and CLOSED = 12 for great playability out-of-the-box.
However, if you want to customize your hi-hat
settings or are using a different Hi-hat controller,
you can calibrate the Hi-hat as follows.
To calibrate the Hi-hat pedal:
1. 1.Connect the Hi-hat pedal to the module but
do not press it down.
2. On the module, press TRIG EDIT.
3. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to highlight the "Input" field
at the top of the screen then use the DEC- / INC+ buttons or
VALUE / TEMPO DIAL to select "HiHat."
4. Press CAL (F4).
5. With the hi-hat pedal completely raised ("open"), press OPEN (F1)
and wait for a message saying the process is complete.
6. With the hi-hat pedal completely pressed ("closed"), press CLOS (F2)
and wait for a message saying the process is complete.
7. If you want to fine-tune how the module detects your pedal's "open"
and "closed" positions, press TRIM (F3). Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN
buttons to select "Open" or "Closed" and use the DEC- / INC+ buttons
or VALUE / TEMPO DIAL to adjust the setting. (Tip: Increasing the "Closed"
value makes it easier to close the hi-hat or "choke" it.)
You can always reset the TRIM to the factory
settings by setting OPEN = 75 and CLOSED = 12.
8. If you want to adjust the response curve of the pedal, press CURV (F2).
Use the DEC- / INC+ buttons or VALUE / TEMPO DIAL to select the curve
that best suits your playing style. (Tip: We recommend using LINEAR, LOG1
or LOG2 for conventional hi-hat performance.)
9. When you have adjusted the hi-hat settings to your preference,
press EXIT to exit the calibration page (or press KIT SELECT
to return to the main screen).

STORING TRIG EDIT SETTINGS

Any changes you make to the parameters in the Trig. Edit Menu will remain
for the current session but will return to their defaults if you turn off the module.
We recommend storing your settings when you change them so you
can use them in future sessions.
To store Trig. Edit settings:
1. Be sure you are in the Trig. Edit Menu by pressing TRIG EDIT.
2. Press SAVE.
3. A window will appear asking you to confirm your choice.
Press CANCEL (F2 or F3) to cancel storing your Trig. Edit settings.
Press YES (F1) to store them.

EXPLORING OPTIMAL SENSITIVITY AND THRESHOLD SETTINGS

We created the RBM-20 module's default settings to allow for great playability
right out of the box, but we recommend experimenting with different triggers settings –
particularly sensitivity and threshold – so you can find the settings that best suit your playing style.
Here is one recommended way to explore these settings:
