13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Surge
Setup — 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Surge
Use as 1-zone rideYes — the 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on the Alesis Surge as a 1-zone ride: bow only.
Bell
Bow
Edge
Wiring: 1× TRS from the ride cymbal (Ride 2 output) → RIDE connector on the cable snake — bow only
The Surge's RIDE input is single-zone — it triggers one note (MIDI note 51 = bow). A Lemon 3-zone ride plays as a bow-only ride; bell and edge won't register.
Cable routing
- Connect one 1/4" TRS cable from the ride cymbal's Ride 2 output to this module's RIDE input.
Module settings
- Hit the ride pad, or press its Ride Pad Select button, to select it.
- Press Utility, then press Page/Select until SEN (Pad sensitivity) appears; use the < and > buttons so bow strikes register cleanly.
- Press Page/Select to THR (Pad threshold) and set it with < / >.
- Press Page/Select to CUR (Pad velocity curve) to even out the dynamics across the pad.
- Press Save to keep the settings.
Tips
- The RIDE input triggers a single note (51), so bell and edge hits sound the same as the bow.
