18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Nitro
Setup — 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Nitro
Use as 1-zone rideYes — the 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on the Alesis Nitro as a 1-zone ride: bow only.
Bell
Bow
Edge
Wiring: RIDE connector on the 25-pin cable snake → Ride 1 — bow only
The Nitro 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.
Ride setup and troubleshooting guide ›Cable routing
- Plug the RIDE connector on the 25-pin cable snake into the ride's Ride 1 output.
Module settings
- Hit the ride pad, or press its Pad Select button, so the module selects that input.
- Press Utility, then press Page/Select until the setting you want appears: SEN (Pad sensitivity), THR (Pad threshold), CRO (Pad crosstalk), or CUR (Pad velocity curve).
- Set the value with the < and > buttons.
- Load a ride voice whose bow sample stands on its own — every ride strike plays that single sound.
- Press Save to keep the settings — otherwise they return to defaults when you power the module off.
Tips
- The RIDE input triggers one note (51), so bell and edge hits sound the same as the bow.
- 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.
