How to Connect a Hihat to Roland SPD SX Pro
Here is how to connect a working Hihat to a Roland SPD SX PRO electronic drum module. This gives you the ability to play the Pro almost like a mini drum kit. The hi-hat I'm using in the video is the Roland VH-11. The addition of a hi-hat offers you the 'chick' function and of course open and close functions which you can't otherwise make using just the SPD SX Pro itself. It also frees up one of the pads for an additional sound to be used. You will require a couple of extra jack to jack leads to make this setup work, but it's really not complicated and makes the Pro much nicer to play overall.

I can't seem to get the closing sound on the hi hat. not sure why. I only get either fully closed or open. Is there somewhere i can get samples of the Hihat closing vs the only open or close samples that Roland provides?

@matthew66666 11 дней назад

Is there a way to achieve the hi-hat control function using a regular pedal, without the actual hi-hat? I’d like to be able to open and close the hi-hat while playing it on the SPD. Thanks in advance for your help!

@fuletlenfiu 5 месяцев назад

How about gradual Hi-Hat opening? I've been trying to set it up it for a while, yet no success.

Hello, I have a Roland Cy12 CR which as you know has 2 inputs: Cowbell and Edge. How should I connect it? With 2 mono cables in 2 spdsx inputs? With 2 stereo cables always in 2 inputs? Or with a split cable which on one side is stereo to be connected to an input of the spdsx pro and on the other 2 mono to be connected to the 2 inputs of the cy12? All this always to get the sound of the ride, the bell and the crash in the same devices. A thousand thanks.

@tendingtropic7778 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, great! can you also use a hi-hat pedal like the roland fd-9 for this? as far as I know it only has one output, so its not a 'trigger'

@yuultube 5 месяцев назад

Yes it works with the fd-9, you trigger open or close... but can't do gradual opening I guess

Hi there, I'm not sure if those models are compatible to be honest, but I will be doing another video about attaching hihats as I'm going to try to make a pedal of a totally different model work if possible 😅

@logan979 Месяц назад

Does the Roland SX pro and SPD-30 accept different brand foot pedals/controllers for HH & Kick ? Thank you

@Electronicdrumtips Месяц назад

Hiya, I would say safely no, I tried a carlsbro foot pedal in the Pro and it didn't work, however if you have the brain of the other brand pedal you could connect it and use the line input but you'd have to use the sounds off the other brain 🙂

@CROSSRAP 4 месяца назад

Your videos are great, and I dig your sense of humor! I also like the sound of the "Hybrid Latin" kit you made-I notice one pad on the upper right sounded like a bongo. If you have time, do you mind telling me what the base sounds are you have on each pad? And also if those are stock sounds on the Roland.

@Electronicdrumtips 4 месяца назад

Heya, thanks so much! Yeah I can do a video about some of the patches I've created if you'd like? Talk through pad by pad and effects etc? 🙂 they're all stock sounds, I haven't imported anything that I actually use 👌🥁

@@Electronicdrumtips Thanks so much for the quick reply!! I would love to see you do a video on some of your patches. I bet others would love that too. I am a hand percussion player too (started on bongos and congas), so I love hearing that sound on a e-Kit. I see your beautiful congas in the background too. 😀

What’s the hi hat pedal you are using? Can I see photo of full hi hat stand would be helpful , FD-9 work with a hi hat stand ?

@Electronicdrumtips 4 месяца назад

Hi mate, I don't have it anymore, it was just a Big Dog hihat stand with a Roland VH-11 on it. I don't think the fd9 works with a stand because it's a stand alone pedal isn't it?

@Emerti 5 месяцев назад

do you know how to connect it? Roland FD-9 Hi-Hat Controller Pedal witch roland cy-5?

@Electronicdrumtips 5 месяцев назад

Hi there, you should be able to do it the same way, just going to the setting and selecting that trigger as opposed to the one I'm using. Should work just the same I think 🙂👍

even with 900 quid, i think the vh14 would not be compatible with the spd-sx right? it has a usb port

@Electronicdrumtips 4 месяца назад

Hiya, yes you're absolutely right, it may still work to some degree but you'd have to tell the SPD that its a VH10 or VH11 anyway or similar so may as well save the money and get one of those 👍

Hello :) . I've read the manual, watched videos, but I still don't have an answer on how to set SPD sx pro so that when you press hh ctrl it mutes the sound of open hh (as here at 9:39 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E9R4kOH6odU.htmlsi=ceNdNEUUzIa-_aNx ) and so that I could play hh with my foot... I try and nothing. I have fd-8 and cy-8. Can u help me? I connected FD8 to hh ctrl via mono (ive tried steeo cable too, no rrolts) cable and CY5 to triggin 1/2 via stereo cable. And set 'hihat' in pad settings. And i cant stop playing open hat using foot, and i cant hear "chick" sound playing hh by foot :(
