Using the Hi-Hat Control Pedal’s Action to Set Controller

Numbers for Sending and Receiving MIDI Data (PDL CC#)

When not using an external MIDI device, Setting Pedal Controller Numbers is unnecessary.
You can transmit the action of the hi-hat control pedal as Control Change messages sent to external
MIDI devices and have Control Change messages sent from external sources act as pedal movements.
A main way to use this setup is by controlling one more SPD-20 hi-hat, and by continuously pressing
the pedals, you can do things like add modulation to the sounds from external MIDI sound modules.
However, there is no need to be able to receive the Controller Numbers set here to external MIDI
devices.
For explanations of Control Change messages and Controller numbers, refer to p. 59.
Send and Receive Controller Numbers are as shown below.
Controller Number
1 Modulation
4 Foot
10 Pan
11 Expression
16 General Purpose 1
17 General Purpose 2
64 Hold
oFF No Transmission
The Controller Number is set at the factory to 4 (Foot). You can control the SPD-20, TD-10, TD-7,
and TD-5 hi-hats with this setting. For control of the SPD-11 hi-hat, set the number to 1
(Modulation).
When recording SPD-20 a performance to a sequencer, and playing back the same performance, set the
Controller Number to 4 (Foot). This way, you can faithfully reproduce the action of the hi-hat control
pedal.
1In Edit mode, select the FX/PEDAL parameter group.
2Press [ ] or [ ] to select PDL CC#.
3Using PATCH/VALUE [+] or [-], select the Controller Number.
Refer to the above Controller Number.
If you switch to a Patch set with a different Pedal Controller Number while the hi-hat control pedal is
pressed, the connected external sound module ends up being set with the Control Change message
value set in the immediately preceding Patch. For example, Modulation will constantly be applied to
the external sound module.
When each Patch is set with a different Controller Number, we recommend that you not switch Patches
with the pedal depressed. If you do switch Patches while the pedal is pressed, the external sound mod-
ule is then set with the Control Change message value just as it is. When you then revert to the original
Patch by releasing the pedal, the Control Change message value reverts to its initial setting.
