T550 12" Snare on Alesis Strike MultiPad

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

The T550 12" Snare is fully supported on your Alesis Strike MultiPad.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → Trigger In 2/3 or 4/5 set to Head+Rim — head + rim

The Strike Multipad is a sample multipad, not a kit module. Its onboard pads play assigned samples, and on the rear panel it adds a small set of external Trigger Inputs: Trigger In 1 is single-zone (TS), while Trigger Ins 2/3 and 4/5 are the only two dual-zone (TRS) jacks. A Lemon snare uses one of those two dual-zone jacks with its Type set to Head+Rim, so a single TRS cable carries both zones — head and rim trigger independently and play whatever samples you assign to that trigger input.

Cable routing

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the Lemon snare pad to Trigger In 2/3 or 4/5 on the rear panel (these are the two dual-zone jacks).

Module settings

Press [Trigger] and open the trigger settings for the input you used (TRIN2–5).
Set Type to Head+Rim so the head and rim zones are read separately.
Adjust Sensitivity, Scan Time, Retrig-C and Mask Time for clean response, and use Rim Gain to balance the rim zone.
Assign a snare sample to the head and a rimshot/sidestick sample to the rim of that trigger input.

Tips

Head triggers on the tip, rim on the ring of the same TRS cable.
Raise X-Talk if center hits accidentally trigger the rim sound, or vice versa.
Only two dual-zone jacks exist (2/3 and 4/5) — plan which pads claim them.
