HELP! My Roland FD-7 Hi-Hat controller pedal doesn't work! What could it be?

Hi all. . .

 

I have a situation. I just sat down to record on my Roland drums and I realized that my Roland FD-7 hi-hat controller pedal isn't functional. What is the likely cause? It can't be the cable (I already replaced it with one that I know works.)

 

Is it more likely to be my TD-10 (TDW-1) module? (GOD FORBID!) Or the FD-7 itself? Any suggestions that might point out exactly what the problem is? I'd be happy to buy another pedal if that will fix it, but another TD-10 module is a real problem!

 

Thanks much.

When in doubt, read the manual.

 

Apparently, I must have pushed down the hi-hat pedal when the TD-10 was turned on the last time I move it all around. This makes the pedal inoperative.

 

Problem solved. . . and $$$ saved. BUT, it might not be a bad idea to remember my lunacy in case someone else suffers from a similar fate.

 

Thanks anyway.

Well, you being a real drummer, would notice that immediately. I'm not sure that I, being a hack, would! I didn't even notice that the hi-hat wasn't working at all for several minutes. ("Gee, something sounds a bit strange here. . . I wonder what it could be?")

 

Duh.
