13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Surge

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Alesis Surge.

Setup — 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Alesis Surge

Use as 1-zone crash

Yes — the 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on the Alesis Surge as a 1-zone crash: bow only.

Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS → Crash 1 connector on the cable snake, or 1× TS → Crash 2 jack on the rear panel

The Surge's crash input is single-zone (bow only) — the MIDI chart maps a single note per crash with no separate edge note. A 2-zone cymbal triggers the bow zone; edge strikes won't sound separately.

Cable routing

  1. Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the cymbal to the Crash 1 connector on the cable snake.
  2. Or connect the cymbal to the Crash 2 jack on the rear panel.

Module settings

  1. Hit the cymbal, or press its Crash Pad Select button, to select it.
  2. Press Utility, then press Page/Select until SEN (Pad sensitivity) appears; use the < and > buttons to set it.
  3. Press Page/Select to THR (Pad threshold) and set it with < / >.
  4. Press Page/Select to CRO (Pad crosstalk) to reduce false triggers from nearby pads.
  5. Press Save to keep the settings.

Tips

  1. The crash input reads the bow zone only — edge strikes won't produce a separate sound.
  2. CRO (Crosstalk) helps reduce false triggers from nearby pads.
