Roland External Hi-Hat Pedal Settings (PAD SETTING-HH PEDAL)

62
Parameter Value Explanation
X-Talk Cancel Rate
(%) 0–80
This setting cancels “crosstalk,” which means that when you play one pad you hear a sound coming from another
pad. This can happen when two pads are installed on the same stand. In some cases you can prevent crosstalk by
increasing the distance between the two mounted pads.
MEMO
In some cases you can prevent crosstalk by increasing the distance between the two mounted pads.
Crosstalk Example: If you hit the 2/SNARE pad and the 3/HI-HAT also sounds
While striking the 2/SNARE pad, gradually increase the “XTalk Cancel” value for the 3/HI-HAT pad until the 3/HI-HAT
pad no longer sounds when you hit the 2/SNARE pad. Raise the “Xtalk Cancel” for the pad being used for 3/HI-HAT.
The 3/HI-HAT pad will be less prone to receive crosstalk from other pads.
* If the value is set too high, and two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully may
not sound. Be careful and set this parameter to the minimum value required to prevent crosstalk.
Rim Gain 0.0–8.0
When a PD-125/120/105/85/80R, PDX-8, PD-9/8/7, CY series pad, VH-11, or RT-10S is connected, you can adjust the
relation between your playing velocity (force) on the rim/edge and the resulting volume level.
Higher value allows the rim/edge to produce a loud volume even when played softly.
Lower value will keep the rim/edge producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
Rim Adjust 0.0–8.0
When a PD-125/120/105/85/80R, PDX-8, or RT-10S is connected, you can adjust the sensitivity of the rim response.
There are some cases that you have a rim sound unexpectedly when you hit the head strongly. You can improve this
situation with decreasing the value of “Rim Adjust.” When you set the value too small, it might be dicult to play the
rim sound.
External Hi-Hat Pedal Settings (PAD SETTING-HH PEDAL)
Here’s how to make settings for an optional, external hi-hat control pedal (FD-8 or VH-11).
1. Choose MENU Ú PAD Ú HH PEDAL (p. 16).
The PAD SETTING-HH PEDAL screen appears.
Pedal Calibration Indicator
If Pad Type is set to “VH-11,” a pedal calibration indicator for
the VH-11 is shown.
For types other than the VH-11, the indication will be for
the FD-8.
[Knob 3] (–/+) edits the value.
2. Turn [Knob 3] (–/+) to edit the value.
Parameter Value Explanation
HH Pedal Sens -10–+10 Adjusts the sensitivity for playing foot-close or foot-splash notes.
Positive (“+”) settings allow louder sounds to be produced even when you step lightly on the pedal.
* If you connect an external hi-hat control pedal, set the “HH CTRL” (p. 32) parameter of the hi-hat Inst to “PEDAL.”
VH-11 Oset Adjustment
If you’re using a V-hi-hat (VH-11: sold separately), make adjustments by turning the VH-11’s VH oset adjustment screw while
watching the indicator shown in the right side of the screen.
Adjust so that this
symbol is shown in the

OPEN CLOSE
Oset Adjustment Points
If the closed hi-hat sound is dicult to attain, rotate the VH oset adjustment screw towards “CLOSE.” If the open hi-hat
sound is dicult to attain, rotate the screw towards “OPEN.” If the sound cuts o when you hit the hi-hat forcefully, rotate
the VH Oset adjustment screw towards “OPEN.”
