Controlling hi-hat open/close
If a hi-hat control pedal is connected to the HH CTRL jack, it functions
as a hi-hat control pedal for the hi-hat sound (HC) that is assigned
to a pad. The closed hi-hat sound is heard if you strike the pad
while pressing the pedal. When you strike the pad while gradually
releasing the pedal, the sound transitions from the half-open to the
open hi-hat sound, and the tonal character and decay length change
smoothly. If you press the pedal, you hear the foot-close sound. You
can play a foot-splash by pressing the pedal and then immediately
releasing it.
MEMO
5 The volume of the pedal hi-hat sound is specied by the pedal
level (PedalHHVolume) (p. 18).
5 If a hi-hat sound (HC) is assigned to multiple pads, you’ll hear
the pedal hi-hat sound of the pad that has the highest priority as
shown in the illustration below.
5 If a hi-hat sound is not assigned to any pad, pressing the pedal
does not produce sound.
