WHAT ARE THE PAD NUMBERS
There are 10 big pads and 14 rim pads. The first 4 big pads left to right are 1 to 4. The next circle of
pads from the left are pads 5-10. The little rim pads in front of the instrument are numbers 11-14.
The outer rim pads starting from the left are pad numbers 18-24.
GET MY Hi HAT TO WORK
In order to have a good working Hi Hat pedal, you will need to do three things. First you must TRAIN
your pedal. Then you must decide what pads you want to have the Hi Hat function to work on (1 to 4)
and finally you will need to determine which mode of Hi Hat you want (GM Hi Hat, Controller Hi Hat
or HATNOTE Modes).
To TRAIN the Hi Hat pedal, Step on the GLOBAL EDIT Footswitch. While held down, tap on rim pad
#17. The display will then guide you to depress the Hi Hat pedal all the way down and then hit any pad,
followed by releasing the pedal and hitting any pad. Your pedal is now Trained!
Now you need to define what pad or pads are going to be Hi Hat pads that will respond to the position
of your Hi Hat pedal. To do this, step on the KIT EDIT Footswitch. While held down, tap on pad # 5.
The display will show what pads have been previously selected.. Now strike pad #5 again. The screen
will ask you to select what pads you want to be Hi Hat pads. Tap on the pad or pads that you want to
be Hi Hat pads and release the pedal.
Finally you need to decide if you are using General MIDI Hi Hats (if you are connecting to a GM drum
machine), or if you are using Continuous Controller Data for Drum Modules or Soft Synths that looks
at the pedal position or if you are using HATNOTE mode.
Step on the KIT EDIT Footswitch. While held down, tap on pad # 18. Each time you tap on the pad,
you will see choices to select. HATNOTE, 01, 04, 04F and None. HATNOTE is the setting to use if
you are using the 5KS, (Kurzweil sound card) “NONE” is the setting if you are using a General MIDI
drum module, and 01, 04 and 04F are Continuous Controller Number Settings used in the popular VST
drum modules or drum modules like the KAT KT-M1 or Roland TD30.
There are other settings that can further tweak the Hi Hat Settings in the Global Screen settings.
The eHAT2 can also be plugged directly into the KAT KT-M1 Drum Module. To set up the eHAT2
with the KT-M1, select the Hi Hat channel in the UNIT menu. Navigate to the HCAL screen. Choose
Hi Hat type ALEHH. A mono cable must be used with the ALEHH Hi Hat type. Use the Calibrate
function to train the Hi Hat. Change the PFACT setting to adjust the chick (typically must be increased
by 10 after training).
GET MY BASS DRUM PEDAL TO WORK
Like the Hi Hat pedal, the bass drum trigger needs to be TRAINED to get the best results. The proper
MIDI note number needs to be assigned and finally the right velocity setting in the Kit needs to be
tailored to your taste.
