Can this be a hihat pedal alternative

[ayd01]

Hi Guys,
I found a pedal on the net and I wondered that may I use it with my MD. Its a simple open-close switch I guess It has a 3.5 mm mono output. In my country they sale it with a name of Akita USb Drum. Its a simple machine that only uses its own voices no midi in or out , maybe in your countries they sell it in a different brand.
Regards

Yes, you can use any switch type HH pedal and this one in particular. It just seems to me they ask too much for this crappy plastic thing - I had one a couple of years ago so I can tell.

You have to assign sane values to 'Low Level' and 'High Level' and to the Bow/Edge Half-Open/Closed,Chick, Splash for that matter.
