Setup details by role
Snare pad 2-zone 1× TRS → SNARE input on the rear panel (individual 1/4" TRS jack)
The DM10 has 12 individual 1/4" TRS jacks on the rear panel — no cable snake. The SNARE input supports dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via center piezo and rim switch.
Tom pad 2-zone 1× TRS per tom → TOM 1, TOM 2, TOM 3, or TOM 4 input on the rear panel (individual 1/4" TRS jacks)
The DM10 has 12 individual 1/4" TRS jacks on the rear panel — no cable snake. Tom inputs support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via center piezo and rim switch.
Kick pad Works 1× TS or TRS → KICK input on the rear panel (individual 1/4" TRS jack)
The DM10 has 12 individual 1/4" TRS jacks on the rear panel — no cable snake. Single-zone kick trigger. Only the head zone is active.
2-zone crash 2-zone 1× TRS → Crash 1 (Trigger Input 10) or Crash 2 (Trigger Input 11) input
12 individual ¼″ TRS jacks on the rear panel (no cable snake). Set input type to Switch for dual-zone cymbals.
3-zone ride 2-zone 1× TRS: Ride 1 (bow/edge) → RIDE input on the rear panel
Plug the Lemon ride's Ride 1 cable into the RIDE input for bow + edge — no cymbal modification.
Hi-hat Open/Closed 1× TRS (pad) → Hi-Hat input + 1× TRS (pedal) → Hi-Hat Control input
The Lemon pedal uses the Roland VH/FD convention, which Alesis doesn't document for continuous CV here — so with the Lemon pedal, treat hi-hat as open/closed.
