Setup details by role
Snare pad 2-zone 1× TRS → Snare connector on the cable snake
The Snare connector on the cable snake supports dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via the center piezo and the rim piezo.
Tom pad 2-zone 1× TRS per tom → Tom1, Tom2, Tom3 connectors on the cable snake
The tom connectors on the cable snake support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via the center piezo and the rim piezo.
Kick pad Works 1× TS or TRS → Kick connector on the cable snake
Single-zone kick trigger via the cable snake. Only the head zone is active.
2-zone crash 2-zone 1× TRS → Crash 1 connector on the cable snake, or 1× TS → Crash 2 jack on the rear panel (bow only)
Crash 1 is on the cable snake (TRS). Crash 2 is a ¼″ TS jack on the rear panel (mono only — edge zone will not function on Crash 2). For full 2-zone operation, use the Crash 1 snake connector.
3-zone ride 1-zone 1× TRS from the ride cymbal (Ride 2 output) → RIDE connector on the cable snake — bow only
The Command's RIDE connector drives a single trigger. Its MIDI chart lists Ride Bow, Ride Edge and Ride Bell, but only the bow is reachable on that input: the module shows one trigger name for the whole cymbal, offers no rim parameters for it, and accepts one assigned voice. A Lemon 3-zone ride plays as a bow-only ride.
Hi-hat Open/Closed 1× TRS (pad) → Hi-Hat connector on the cable snake + 1× mono TS (controller) → the hi-hat pedal lead on the cable snake
The Lemon hi-hat controller uses the Roland VH/FD convention, which Alesis doesn't document for continuous CV on this input — so with the Lemon controller, treat hi-hat as open/closed.
