T550 12" Snare on Alesis Strata Core

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 12" Snare when used with the Alesis Strata Core.

Setup — T550 12" Snare on Alesis Strata Core

Works

The T550 12" Snare is fully supported on your Alesis Strata Core.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → SD (Snare) on the multi-pin trigger snake

The Snare trigger slot is dual-zone (head + rim), with independent Head Sensitivity, Rim Sensitivity, Head Threshold, and Rim Threshold. Snare articulations are Head, Rimshot, Rim Click, and XStick.

Cable routing

  1. Connect the snare pad's 1/4" TRS lead to the SD (Snare) trigger on the rear-panel snake.

Module settings

  1. Press the Kit button, then tap Trigger on the left edge to open Trigger Mode.
  2. Tap Hit Select and strike the snare to select the SD slot (or tap SD in the meter row).
  3. Load a dual-zone drum preset from the Library, then open Tweaks to set Head Sensitivity, Rim Sensitivity, Head Threshold, and Rim Threshold to taste.

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo; rimshot, rim click, and cross-stick come from the rim sensor on the TRS ring.
  2. If rimshots and rim clicks need rebalancing, open Advanced and adjust Rim Balance (-64 to 63).
T550 12" Snare also fits 70 other drum modules — see setup
