Chapter 5 Settings for the Entire HPD-15

Using the Pedal to Control the Hi-Hat / Tone

You can use a expression pedal / hi-hat control pedal connected to the EXP PEDAL/HH CTRL jack to control the tone or play the
hi-hat with continuous control from open to closed positions.

Settings for the Pedal

fig.5-08.e

Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold
separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you
risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

Using a Pedal to Control the Hi-Hat
Continuously

1. In Edit mode, assign the instrument marked with “*F” in

the Instrument List (p. 92) to the pad which you wish to
use as the hi-hat.

fig.5-08a

2. Depress the pedal connected to the EXP PEDAL/HH

CTRL jack to display the pedal setting screen, and select
PEDAL(A1)–PEDAL(C5) (the pad which is assigned the
hi-hat sound in step 1) to PadInst of the pedal.

fig.5-08b

You can use the pedal to play the hi-hat with continuous
control from open to closed positions and trigger the
“foot close” hi-hat sound.

* PEDAL(A1)–PEDAL(C5) appear last when you select the

instruments.

If you connect the hi-hat control pedal (FD-7, optional), do
not step on the pedal until the patch name is displayed when
the power is turned on. The HPD-15 will check the position
of the pedal then.
