Troubleshooting
Was the unit adjusted after being
connected to the sound module?
When using the VH-12, be sure to run the automatic offset
adjustment on your sound module (p. 8).
Is the TRIGGER OUTPUT connected to
the sound module’s HH CTRL jack?
Connect the VH-12’s TRIGGER OUTPUT jack to the sound
module’s HI-HAT jack, and the CONTROL OUTPUT to the
sound module’s HH CTRL (p. 8).
Is a monaural cable being used?
When a monaural cable is used, the sound does not change
when an edge shot is made.
Use a stereo (TRS) cable.
Are you striking the area where an
edge sensor is located?
The VH-12 has an edge sensor only at the area closest to you,
at the front (p. 10).
Align the marks (
and
) on the top and bottom hi-hat, and
position the marks so they face toward the player (p. 9).
Is the trigger type set correctly?
Make the trigger parameter settings for your sound module.
Are you using the special VH-12
clutch?
Clutches included with hi-hat stands are shaped differently
than the VH-12’s special clutch, so use of such other clutches
prevent the sensors within the VH-12 from functioning
properly. Be sure to use the clutch designed especially for the
VH-12.
Is the clutch correctly attached to the
top hi-hat?
Failure of the upper end of the screw pipe of the stopper to be
seen through the slit of the clutch top is one cause of double
triggering and incorrect opening and closing (p. 5,
“Assembling the Top Hi-Hat” Step
5
).
Loose lock nuts can cause improper functioning (p. 5,
“Assembling the Top Hi-Hat” Step
7
).
Is the bottom hi-hat attached
correctly?
After extended use of the hi-hat stand, the stand’s felt (or
rubber) pad on which the bottom cymbal rests becomes
compressed, which may cause the bottom hi-hat to become
unstable. If this occurs, loosen the clamp bolt and perform
Step
7
on p. 7 again.
Is the gap between the top and
bottom hi-hat correct?
Setting too narrow or wide a gap can cause improper function
of the unit and prevent the hi-hat from sounding as you
intend. Setting the gap to 10 mm provides the most natural
feel when playing the VH-12 (p. 9).
Is the sound module’s offset adjusted
correctly?
The offset may change somewhat as you perform. If this
occurs, run the automatic offset adjustment procedure for the
sound module once again (p. 8).

No sound is heard
The sound does not change when an
edge shot is made
