13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Surge
Setup — 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Surge
Reduced — 2-zone rideThe 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on your Alesis Surge with reduced zones.
Bell
Bow
Edge
Wiring: 1× TRS (Cable 2) → RIDE connector on the cable snake — bow + bell
Full 3-zone is not supported — this module has a single Ride input. Connect Cable 2 (bow + bell) from the Lemon 3-zone ride cymbal; bow and bell zones both work through this cable.
Cable routing
- Connect Cable 2 (the bow + bell cable) from the Lemon 3-zone ride cymbal to the RIDE input.
Module settings
- Go to Utility → use Page/Select to navigate to the RIDE input.
- Assign the RIDE input as a 2-zone cymbal pad — a 3-zone ride pad type is not exposed on the Surge.
- Adjust SEN (Sensitivity), THR (Threshold), and CUR (Curve) for consistent bow + bell detection.
- In your kit, load a ride-bow sample on the bow zone and a ride-bell sample on the second zone — bow and bell hits will play through Cable 2 as expected.
Tips
- Cable 2 delivers bow and bell — the two most-used zones for ride playing.
- Full simultaneous 3-zone operation is not available on this module — only one cable can be connected at a time.
