18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Nitro Pro

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Alesis Nitro Pro.

Setup — 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Nitro Pro

Use as 1-zone ride

Yes — the 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on the Alesis Nitro Pro as a 1-zone ride: bow only.

Bell Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS from the ride cymbal (Ride 2 output) → RIDE connector on the 25-pin cable snake — bow only

The Nitro Pro has a single, single-zone RIDE input — one trigger (MIDI note 51 = bow). A Lemon 3-zone ride plays as a bow-only ride; bell and edge won't register, and there is no pad-type menu to make the ride multi-zone.

Cable routing

  1. Connect one 1/4" TRS cable from the ride cymbal's Ride 2 output to this module's RIDE input.

Module settings

  1. Press the Mode button until Normal Mode (Kit, Voice, Song) is active.
  2. Hit the ride pad so the module selects the RIDE input.
  3. Press the Utility button repeatedly until SEN (Pad sensitivity) appears, then set it with the - and + buttons so bow strikes register cleanly.
  4. Press Utility until THR (Pad threshold) appears, then set it with the - and + buttons.
  5. Press Save to keep the settings — otherwise they return to defaults when you power the module off.

Tips

  1. The RIDE input triggers one note (51), so bell and edge hits sound the same as the bow.
  2. The Nitro family exposes no 2- or 3-zone cymbal pad type — a pad's zone count is fixed and only its sound is user-assignable.
