Parameter Function
The range between ‘Hi-Hat open’ and ‘Hi-Hat closed’ is called ‘HalfOpen’ . For
increasing the range ‘HalfOpen’ , increase the ‘Open Point’ and decrease the ‘Close
Point’ .
‘OPEN POINT’ Setting the position where the Hi-Hat is open. The value is dis‐
played as a percentage within the touch range of the hi-hat
pedal. The higher the value is, the closer it is to the position
where the pedal is released. This means that the range for open
Hi-Hat is very small.
‘CLOSE POINT’ Setting the position where the Hi-Hat is closed. The value is dis‐
played as a percentage within the touch range of the hi-hat
pedal. The lower the value is, the closer it is to the position where
the pedal is pressed down to the oor. This means that the range
for closed Hi-Hat is very small.

RATIO Compression rate that aects the audio signals after the threshold is exceeded. The lower the value, the
higher the compression of the loud parts of the audio signals. If the value is set to 128: 128, the com‐
pressor has no eect.
THRESHOLD Threshold from which the compression aects the audio signals
ATTACK TIME Response time Time from exceeding the threshold until the compressor responds. Short response times
lead to an immediate response to loud signals, but lead to changes in volume that are clearly noticeable
to the listener.
RELEASE TIME Decay time. Time from falling below the threshold to resetting the volume to normal. With a high value,
quiet notes that immediately follow the loud notes are lost, but prevents the volume from being set too
high in a quiet environment.
BOOST Amplies the audio signals after compression up to a maximum value of 0 dB. This can lead to higher
volume after compression.
The following diagrams show the dierence in volume before and after compression
with a threshold of –24 .
