T950 13"x13" Floor Tom on Alesis Surge

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

Setup — T950 13"x13" Floor Tom on Alesis Surge

Works

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

Head Rim

Wiring: Tom1, Tom2, Tom3 connectors on the cable snake → one per tom pad

The tom connectors on the cable snake support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via the center piezo and the rim piezo.

Module settings

  1. Hit the tom pad, or press its Tom 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 R-S (Pad rim sensitivity) to set the rim response.
  5. Press Page/Select to CUR (Pad velocity curve) to pick the dynamic response.
  6. Press Save to keep the settings.

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo mounted under the head.
  2. 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.
