DTX ProX Hi Hat Open/ Close

Just a very quick video (filmed on Rec'n'Share) as there were some questions about the opening/ closing and sound of the hi hat on the DTX Pro and ProX. This is the 14" Vintage hi hat. I hope this helps.
If you want to try these setting...
Go to Menu, Trigger, Enter.
Using F2 (middle button under the screen) go down to Pad Type. Press Enter
Hit the Hi Hat pad (RHH135) and check the screen says RHH135.
Go down and select these settings;
Gain 1 Turning this down lets the pad have more 'head room'
Sensitivity 7 This sets the low end sensitivity
Reject Time 18ms This stops the pad from double triggering
Min Level 24 This makes the pad ignore anything below 24 (vibration etc)
Max Level 100 This sets the max trigger level (don't change this)
Min Velocity 60 This sets the volume of the quietest notes
Max Velocity 127 This sets the volume of the loudest notes (don't change this)
Then you shouldn't need to change the next parameters but just check them;
WaitTime 1
RimGain 1
H/R Balance 0
Then you need to Save your trigger settings. On the DTXPRO you just need to come out of the Trigger Settings and they are stored automatically. So just press Kit. (Incidentally, never just pull the power cable out of the back of the module as all your settings are stored properly on power down - press the Power button and wait for it to shut down fully)
Then you need to change the hi hat pedal response;
Press Menu
Go to Utility, press Enter
Go to Pad, press Enter
Go down and change;
FootClosePos to -12
FootSplashSens to 50
Save this;
Press Store and save it to the kit you are working on (you'll need to store this setting for all your kits if you like it as it is not a global setting - every kit can have a different hi hat response if required).
That should give you a much more faster feeling and more 'in your face' hi hat response.

These settings are incredibly helpful. Many thanks for sharing!

Found the notes Simon, thanx again for your input.

Thanks you for sharing! You are a life saver 👍

[@KEN11082]

These settings made it so much better 👌

[@edruminfo]

Good! Well done for trying them

This settings save my life! 👏👏👏

Good! Well done!

That sounds pretty good! I have been looking to buy a new Ekit but the Yamaha Hi Hat's are keeping me from pulling the trigger. I got to check out the Efnote 14" optical Hi hat and it just feels really good but Yamaha has the better module. I wish Yamaha would update their cymbals.

[@DennisLeeyeet]

efnote module looks pretty good to me though. But I'd prefer something more compact and quiet for a E-kit and the efnote one looks like it's going to take up more space, so I tried the dtx6k3x kit. So far the switch-activated functions, like cymbal edge/bell, and snare cross-stick and rimshot are not feeling as responsive as I'd hoped. With the first kit sound I also feel like there isn't a position on the hihat pedal where there's a sustained sizzle. I wonder which kit the uploader is using. (looking at the comments below, the uploader has the dtx prox module that have more detailed hihat samples)

[@photographerjonathan]

does it have a separate bell trigger ?

This is damn convincing

I have Hi Hat Roland VH-12D and I have modul Yamaha DTXTreme III. How to set this Hi Hat with modul Yamaha on open and close Hi Hat . Please help

[@edruminfo]

Hi You cant without changing wiring and components. Yamaha and Roland hi hats work in different ways. You can get the pad working just by plugging it in, but you won't get the controller (open / close) working without changing the electronics in it. If you really want to use the Roland pad, then connect it to the module but you will have to use a Yamaha HH65 to control the open / close.

[@rmm3000]

Hi Simon! Quick question. I have my RHH135 connected to the Hi-CTRL jack on my Multi-12 and also to jack 16/17. When I hit the Hi-Hat open I get the exact sound that is on pad #9 on the Multi-12. When I hit the Hi-Hat closed I get the sound that is on pad #12. I'm perplexed. I can't change that. Can you tell my how I can fix that? When I press on the Hi-Hat I get the correct hi-hat voice HHCL. Thank you Simon!!

[@edruminfo]

Hiya. I've replied to your email separately. Its all about midi notes - you have duplicated them, which is why different pads are triggering the same thing. Easy mistake to make if you don't know about it.

[@rmm3000]

@@edruminfo Thank you Simon. My new M12 is awesome, but that MIDI issues has my head spinning. I'm going to apply the fix you mentioned. Thank you again Simon!!

[@rmm3000]

Hi Simon! Can you tell me how to program the Yamaha Multi 12 to work properly with the RHH135?

[@edruminfo]

Hi, yes, try this... www.dropbox.com/s/h8eafx9lmpdz8eu/M12%20Create%20HH%20Pad%20PDF.pdf?dl=0

[@rmm3000]

Thank you Simon going to try that. 😀👍

[@Doctor_Drum]

shit..i have the old DTX R900 Module..and i have always troubles with the performing with the RHH135. Any Tipps Simon?

[@edruminfo]

When I next get my DTX900 module out I'll see what I can come up with.

[@Doctor_Drum]

@@edruminfo thank you 😊That would be a great help to me

[@johnnosawyer6423]

There was some dialogue with this vid, I’ve seen it but can’t find it again. Where is it please.

[@edruminfo]

Do you mean the written text under the video where I explain how to do these settings? I'm pretty sure I never did any dialogue (but I might be wrong)

[@johnnosawyer6423]

Yes it was only text. It seemed a great explanation but can’t find it again. It appeared on the right of the screen but not showing up again. How can I find it. The text listed some settings on how to set hats up as a good starting point.

[@Lowkkk_]

Hello sir, im planning to buy lemon hhc 12 hihat for my dtx6kx with dtx pro module. Will that be compatible? I cant seem to find anyone who sells this yamaha hihat locally that's is why im leaning towards buying the lenon hihats.

[@edruminfo]

Hi, while the pad will be somewhat compatible, the controller data sent from it will not. Lemon use the same foot controller information that Roland do, whereas the system that Yamaha uses is different and the two are not interchangeable. So, I'm afraid that it is not fully compatible. To make it compatible, you would have to use a Yamaha HH65 foot controller plugged into the Control socket on the back of the module, and the Lemon pad output plugged into the HiHat input on the back of the module. To me its not worth it. I'd use the Yamaha RHH135 as it is.

[@Lowkkk_]

@@edruminfo Thank you sir Simon! I also replied to our email conversation.

[@MEJIMMYB1]

Can you show a step by step video on THE DTX PRO to obtain those awesome settings?

[@edruminfo]

I'll try and do one sometime soon, but I'm working on something else at the moment so it will be a while I'm afraid

[@80thStProductions]

Yes please, I’m frustrated with the out of the box performance of my hats!

[@edruminfo]

​@@80thStProductions I cant paste what I wanted to here, so go to my video of the hi hat (above) and check the text underneath. There will be some instructions there.

[@80thStProductions]

@@edruminfo I’ve tried those settings and I’m still getting pretty bad hot spotting, any suggestions? I have the Dtx pro-X

[@edruminfo]

@@80thStProductions Hot spotting? How are you hitting it? Can you send a video of you playing it to simon@ then the name of the website in my logo? I'm curious as to what is happening.

[@breezyamar]

Hi Simon, does this pad perform differently when connected a regular DTX pro?

[@edruminfo]

No, with the same settings it will perform identically. The main difference between the Pro and the ProX hi hats is the hi hat samples on the ProX have more detail but thats it.

[@breezyamar]

@@edruminfo thanks Simon! I purchased the dtx6k the other day and going through all your videos, they are so helpful so keep up the great work you are doing! Glad Yamaha has got someone like you on board!

[@edruminfo]

@@breezyamar Did you see the hi hat settings in the description of the video?

[@breezyamar]

@@edruminfo yeah! Will play around with that soon. Actually I do have a question that I couldn't find the answer. Is there a setting to make the cymbals have less of a tone and just be more of just a shhh sound? Sorry for my lack of musical vocabulary lol

[@johnnosawyer6423]

Settings please Simon.

[@edruminfo]

Look below the video...
