HI-HAT CALIBRATION
The Hi-hat calibration is pre-set at the factory with the TRIM settings set at
OPEN = 75 and CLOSED
= 12
for great playability out-of-the-box.
However, if you want to customize your hi-hat
settings or are using a different Hi-hat controller,
you can calibrate the Hi-hat as follows.
To calibrate the Hi-hat pedal:
1. 1.Connect the Hi-hat pedal to the module but
do not press it down.
2. On the module, press
TRIG EDIT.
3. Use the
CURSOR UP / DOWN
buttons to highlight the “Input” field
at the top of the screen then use the
DEC- / INC+
buttons or
VALUE / TEMPO DIAL
to select “HiHat.”
4. Press
CAL (F4).
5. With the hi-hat pedal completely raised (“open”), press
OPEN (F1
)
and wait for a message saying the process is complete.
6. With the hi-hat pedal completely pressed (“closed”), press
CLOS (F2)
and wait for a message saying the process is complete.
7. If you want to fine-tune how the module detects your pedal’s “open”
and “closed” positions, press
TRIM (F3)
. Use the
CURSOR UP / DOWN
buttons to select “Open” or “Closed” and use the
DEC- / INC+
buttons
or
VALUE / TEMPO DIAL
to adjust the setting. (Tip: Increasing the “Closed”
value makes it easier to close the hi-hat or “choke” it.)
You can always reset the TRIM to the factory
settings by setting
OPEN = 75 and CLOSED = 12.
8. If you want to adjust the response curve of the pedal, press
CURV (F2).
Use the
DEC- / INC+
buttons or
VALUE / TEMPO DIAL
to select the curve
that best suits your playing style. (Tip: We recommend using
LINEAR, LOG1
or LOG2
for conventional hi-hat performance.)
9. When you have adjusted the hi-hat settings to your preference,
press
EXIT
to exit the calibration page (or press
KIT SELECT
to return to the main screen).
STORING TRIG EDIT SETTINGS
Any changes you make to the parameters in the
Trig. Edit Menu
will remain
for the current session but will return to their defaults if you turn off the module.
We recommend storing your settings when you change them so you
can use them in future sessions.
To store Trig. Edit settings:
1. Be sure you are in the
Trig. Edit Menu
by pressing
TRIG EDIT.
2. Press
SAVE
.
3. A window will appear asking you to confirm your choice.
Press
CANCEL (F2 or F3)
to cancel storing your Trig. Edit settings.
Press
YES (F1)
to store them.
EXPLORING OPTIMAL SENSITIVITY AND THRESHOLD SETTINGS
We created the RBM-20 module’s default settings to allow for great playability
right out of the box, but we recommend experimenting with different triggers settings –
particularly sensitivity and threshold – so you can find the settings that best suit your playing style.
Here is one recommended way to explore these settings:
Open
Closed
