Hi-Hat Control Pedal problems

[Jarod Fedele]

Hi there,

 

I’m using a Yamaha DTX-522k drum kit hooked up to my ddrum DDTi interface, sending the midi to EZDrummer. There’s a problem with the hi-hat foot control however. When I use the hi-hat foot, it seems to be treated not as an active on/off switch, but as simply another drum that’s being hit. The hi-hat is always staying closed – not sure why that is. I have the hi-hat foot cord plugged into the correct port on my interface. Any help would be appreciated to get this working. Thanks!

EZdrummer version: 2.1.8
Operating system: Windows 10

Have you tried selecting;         Menu > Settings > EDrums > “Midi Mapping” >Yamaha

Does that help?

So that does seem to allow the hi-hat foot pedal to be detected as a foot pedal, according to the midi mapping. But, no matter what the pedal is always closed, even setting the hi-hat pedal correction to curve 4 (the most open).

 

The hi-hat does does function properly through my normal Yamaha drum brain, so I don’t think it’s a faulty hi-hat.

Hey mate make sure that on the drums you don’t have metal selected, use one of the rock modes.  I found by accident, well my 5 year old daughter found that by switching modes on the drum kit control panel that metal made that pedal a double kick.  Hope it is the same issue for you mate.
