Settings for an External Hi-Hat Control Pedal
You can use the hi-hat control pedal (FD-7; sold separately) not only to open and close the hi-hat, you
can also use it to control the sound effect level sent in real time, and change the pitch (PDL CTRL; p. 54).
Additionally, you can send Control Change Data to connected external MIDI devices (PDL CC#; p. 56).
Hi-Hat Control pedal settings are made with FX/PEDAL Parameter Group PDL CTRL, PDL LEVEL,
and PDL CC#. Too see how to make these settings, refer to each item shown on the following page.
For more on how to connect the pedal, refer to “Precautions When Connecting a Hi-Hat Control
Pedal” (p. 40).
Hi-Hat control pedal settings are stored in each Patch.

Controlling the Opening and Closing of the Hi-Hat (HH)
The pedal works as a hi-hat control pedal controlling sounds (H01–H17) assigned to a pad. Stepping on
the pedal while striking the pad produces a closed hi-hat sound, and by letting up on the pedal a little at
a time, you continuously change the tone and length of the sound from closed, to half-opened, to
opened. Additionally, you can get a “foot close” sound by stepping on the pedal more forcefully. You
can also get a great “foot open” sound, similar to the sound you get as you lift your foot off the hi-hat.
Set the volume of the pedal hi-hat sound produced with the pedal in PDL LEVEL. For more on how to
make these settings, refer to “Adjustivg the Volume of the Pedal Hi-Hat Sound” (p. 55).
If a hi-hat sound (H01–H17) is assigned to two or more pads, the pedal hi-hat will sound for the high-
est-priority pad as shown in next page:
