If your Roland V-Drums electronic kit is occasionally triggering open hi-hat sounds when you intended to play closed hi-hat notes, you’re experiencing a common issue that can be easily fixed with a simple adjustment. I had this exact issue with my VAD-507 kit (which uses the TD-27 module). Playing on the kit through my headphones was fine, but when I looked at the recorded MIDI notes after playing, about 50% of my closed hi-hat notes were appearing as open. It was extremely frustrating to have to manually move the erroneous mistriggers over to the right hi-hat note. Solution #1: Check…
