OR.....WHY DO I......OR …...WHAT IS???
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 HiHAT TO WORK
In order to have a good working HiHAT 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 HiHAT function to work on (1 to 4)
and finally you will need to determine which mode of HiHAT you want (GM HiHAT, Controller
HiHAT or HATNOTE Modes).
To TRAIN the HiHAT pedal, Step on the Global Edit Footswitch. While held down, tap on rim pad #
17. The display will then guide you to depress the HiHAT pedal all of 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 HiHAT pads that will respond to the position
of your HiHAT 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 HiHAT pads. Tap on the pad or pads that you want to
be HiHAT pads. Once you've done that, simply release the pedal.
Finally you need to decide if you are using General MIDI HiHATs (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 (designed for the Kurzweil Built in
Engine).
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, “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 upscale
drum modules like the Roland TD30.
There are other settings that can further tweak the HiHAT Settings in the Global Screen settings.
GET MY BASS DRUM PEDAL TO WORK
Like the HiHAT 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
13
