HiHat

This is a MIDI-controllable analog hi-hat module. You can also control the hi-hat via GATE & CV signals.

You need to feed noise into the module to make it work. You may use our Noise module.

Features#

• Open & Close Hi-Hat
• Accent Control
• Full MIDI Control
• Feed Custom Noise Sources
• Get the HiHat Envelope as CV

Inputs#

1. MIDI In
2. Noise Source
3. Gate Input (If not provided via MIDI)
4. CV Input for the Accent Control
5. Gate Input for the Open HiHat

Outputs#

1. MIDI THRU
2. HiHat Output
3. HiHat Output
4. Envelope CV of the HiHat

Controls#

• CUTOFF: Controls the cutoff frequency of the hi-hat. Left is higher frequency, right is lower.
• DECAY: Increases the decay of the hi-hat.

MIDI#

• Use any note up to (and including) Middle C (C4) to trigger the hi-hat
• Any note above Middle C will open the hi-hat
• The velocity of the note will affect the DECAY control
