11" Dual-Zone Splash/Crash on Alesis Strata Core

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 11" Dual-Zone Splash/Crash when used with the Alesis Strata Core.

Setup — 11" Dual-Zone Splash/Crash on Alesis Strata Core

Works

Yes — the 11" Dual-Zone Splash/Crash works as a full 2-zone crash on the Alesis Strata Core: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: C1/C2 on the cable snake → cymbal, or 1× TRS → C3 on the Cymbal 3 rear-panel jack

Each Cymbal slot reads bow + edge with choke support, tuned with Bow Sensitivity, Edge Sensitivity, and Threshold. C1–C2 land on the cable snake; C3 is one of the two dedicated 1/4" TRS jacks Alesis puts on the rear panel — "Tom 4 and Cymbal 3 Trigger Inputs (1/4" TRS)" (User Guide p.10).

Crash setup and troubleshooting guide ›

Cable routing

  1. Plug the C1 or C2 trigger on the cable snake into the cymbal.
  2. For a third crash, connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the cymbal to the Cymbal 3 (C3) trigger input on the rear panel — a dedicated 1/4" TRS jack (User Guide p.10).

Module settings

  1. Press the Kit button, then tap Trigger to open Trigger Mode.
  2. Tap Hit Select and strike the cymbal to select its slot (C1–C3).
  3. Load a crash preset, then open Tweaks to set Bow Sensitivity, Edge Sensitivity, and Threshold.
  4. If edge hits play a bell sound, toggle Invert Bell & Edge in Advanced.

Tips

  1. Bow plays from the main surface; edge triggers from the edge sensor, and grabbing the edge chokes the cymbal.
  2. If chokes are too easy or too slow, open Advanced and adjust Choke Time (1–200 ms).
