DM PRO REFERENCE MANUAL 1 1 3

THE INTERACTIVE HI-HAT PERFORMANCE

An acoustic hi-hat is a complex device. To reproduce not only the sound, but also the

performance of a hi-hat with an electronic drum module requires some advanced

operation. Fortunately, the DM Pro has been designed with Hi-hat performance in

mind, and there is a special section of the software that has been specifically crafted

to handle the task.

First, here are some “acoustic drum” definitions which will be helpful in discussing

the DM Pro Hi-hat operations:

Closed Hi-hat When the hats are pressed together, usually with the

pedal down, striking the upper hat generates this sound.

Open Hi-hat When the hats are lifted apart, usually with the pedal

up, striking the upper hat generates this sound which

will ring until closed by the pedal.

Foot Down Hi-hat The hats get pressed together by the pedal after ringing

while open. No stick hit is involved.

Foot Up Hi-hat The hats are lifted apart creating a ringing sound from

the two hats scraping against each other. Again, no stick

hit is involved.

Triggers 13 - 16 are optimized specifically for Hi-hat performance. Triggers 13 and 14

are designed to accept a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) stereo electronic drum pad input, and

Triggers 15 and 16 are meant to have a pedal plugged into their jack (except as

previously noted for Trigger 16 in the section called “AUX Pedal Type Select

Function”). These Triggers interact with each other to create a complete Hi-hat

performance, and this interaction is slightly different depending on the Value set by

the Hat Pedal Type (further described below).

Following are the recommended Drum assignments for Triggers 13 - 16:

Trigger 13 Hi-hat center, open (Pedal/Note Up) and closed (Pedal/Note Down)

Trigger 14 Hi-hat edge, open (Pedal/Note Up) and closed (Pedal/Note Down)

Trigger 15 Hi-hat Foot Pedal Down

Trigger 16 Hi-hat Foot Pedal Up

HAT PEDAL TYPE: SWITCH

With the Hat Pedal Type set to Switch, the Hi-hat will behave in the following

manner:

Depending on the state of the Switch, Trigger 13 will either sound a Closed Hi-hat

Drum or an Open Hi-hat Drum. If the Switch is depressed (“closed” or “on”), Trigger

13 will sound a

Closed Hi-hat Drum. If the Switch is released, (“open” or “off”),

Trigger 13 will sound an

Open Hi-hat Drum. To this end, the Trigger Note Assign

Function (Drumkit Mode) for Triggers 13 and 14 has

two pages – one for each state

of the Switch – unlike any of the other Triggers.

Trigger 14 behaves exactly the same as Trigger 13. Trigger 13 is designed to sound a

“center” Hi-Hat timbre, and Trigger 14 is designed to sound an “edge” Hi-hat
