18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Strata Prime

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

The 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride is fully supported on your Alesis Strata Prime.

Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS → Cymbal 1–Cymbal 4 trigger input (1/4" TRS jack)

The four Cymbal trigger slots read Bow, Edge, and Bell, so a 2-zone crash lands its Bow and Edge zones with edge choke supported. Each Cymbal input is an individual 1/4" TRS jack.

Cable routing

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the cymbal to a Cymbal 1, Cymbal 2, Cymbal 3, or Cymbal 4 trigger input on the rear panel.

Module settings

Open Trigger Edit Mode and strike the cymbal, or use Hit Select, to select that Cymbal input.
Pick the matching trigger preset so Bow and Edge respond and the edge registers a choke.
Tune Sensitivity and Threshold to taste; set Choke Time for how long you must grab the edge to mute.

Tips

Bow plays from the surface; Edge plays the second zone and supports choke when you grab it.
If Bow and Edge feel swapped, toggle Invert Bell & Edge on that input.
If a hard crash leaves late false triggers as the cymbal swings, raise Edge Decay Boost.
If a nearby pad triggers this cymbal, run Learn XTalk on the pad that is causing the crosstalk.
