Adjusting the Hi-hat Hi-hat adjustment is used to determine the point at which the hi-hat closes when the hi-hat pedal (foot controller) is pressed.

The setting has no effect on a foot controller connected to any other jack. Operation 1. Press the [SHIFT] + [SAVE/ENTER] buttons to view Utility Page 1. Use this display to adjust the hi-hat.

The range of adjustment is -32 to 0 to +32. Smaller values produce a shallower closing point.

Settings include "off" and a range of 1 to 127. Larger values make foot splashes that are long and easier to produce. When this is set to "off," foot splashes are not produced. * Too high a value will make foot splashes too easy to pro- duce, resulting in the continuous production of foot splashes when the pedal is held down continuously.
