T950 13"x13" Floor Tom on Alesis Strata Prime

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x13" Floor Tom when used with the Alesis Strata Prime.

Setup — T950 13"x13" Floor Tom on Alesis Strata Prime

Works

Yes — the T950 13"x13" Floor Tom works as a full tom on the Alesis Strata Prime: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → TOM 1–TOM 4 trigger inputs (1/4" TRS jacks)

Each Tom trigger slot is dual-zone — Trigger Zone 1 reads Head and Trigger Zone 2 reads Rimshot via the center piezo and the rim piezo.

Cable routing

  1. Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each tom pad to a TOM 1, TOM 2, TOM 3, or TOM 4 trigger input on the rear panel (User Guide p.7).

Module settings

  1. Press the Kit button and tap Trigger to open Trigger mode; tap Hit Select and strike a tom to select its T1-T4 (Tom) input.
  2. Load a matching Trigger Preset, or in Tweaks set that Tom's Head Sensitivity (1.0-32.0) and Rim Sensitivity (1.0-32.0) so head and rim both respond.
  3. In Tweaks, set Head Threshold (1-127) and Rim Threshold (1-127) to taste.
  4. In Advanced, if the mesh head is tuned low and rim hits get weak, adjust Zone Balance (-64 to 63) toward the rim.
  5. If a head hit falsely triggers the rim, raise XTalk Decay (0-127) on that Tom input (Advanced).

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo mounted under the head — both ride the one TRS cable (tip = head, ring = rim).
  2. If you tune the mesh head very low and rim hits get weak, adjust Zone Balance toward the rim.
  3. If a head hit falsely triggers the rim, raise XTalk Decay on that Tom input.
  4. On an input that reads head and rim, if the wrong zone plays, tune the module's head/rim settings for this pad's size; values set for a different-size pad may not carry over.
