HH Note# Border

(Hi-Hat Note Number Border)

The only time you would need to change this setting is when you are triggering an external sound module.

The note number transmitted when you strike the hi-hat will change depending on the amount of pressure on the hi-hat pedal. Hi-Hat Note Number Border allows you to adjust the pedal position at which the note number switches from the open hi-hat to the closed hi-hat.

At the factory default value (127), the closed hi-hat note number will be transmitted only if the hi-hat pad is played with the pedal completely depressed. If you want this note number to be transmitted when the pedal is slightly raised, set this to a value such as 90.

If you change the Hi-hat Note Number Border setting, the hi-hat of a pattern that was recorded onto the internal sequencer by playing the pads may play back in a way that is different from the actually recorded performance.
