If you are still unable to produce a “chick” or “splash”
sound consistently, you can adjust the parameters on
this screen:
Chick: This knob raises or lowers the point at which
your pedal will trigger the “chick/stomp” sound. If
you play with the top cymbal really high above the
bottom one, or if your hi-hat pedal has high-tension
springs, increasing this setting may help you get a
more consistent chick/stomp sound.
Tightness: You should not have to adjust this much,
but if you tend to play with very little distance
between the hi-hat cymbals when opening and
closing them, lowering this setting may help capture
the finer details of your playing. If this setting is too
low, you may trigger unintentional “chick/stomp”
sounds while striking the top cymbal.
Sensitivity: Lower this setting to help increase the
dynamic range of the “chick/stomp” sound (though
setting it too low can cause inconsistent chick
volumes).
Splash: This setting determines how easy or hard it
is to create a hi-hat “splash” sound. Higher values
make it more difficult to “splash,” though you may
prefer that depending on your “footwork.”
Curve: If you prefer to hear more closed or semi-
open sounds, choose one of the logarithmic curves
(Log 1–4). If you prefer a more open sound, choose
an exponential curve (Exp 1–4). Select Linear for an
even balance between these.
