T550 12" Snare on Donner Beat Max
Setup — T550 12" Snare on Donner Beat Max
WorksThe T550 12" Snare is fully supported on your Donner Beat Max.
Head
Rim
Wiring: 1× TRS → SNARE jack on the Donner rack (1/4" TRS)
The Beat Max supports dual-zone snare — head (center piezo) and rim (switch) trigger as separate MIDI notes.
Cable routing
- Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the Lemon snare pad to the SNARE jack on the Donner drum rack.
Module settings
- On the touchscreen: open DRUM KIT → tap the Snare column → tap Instrument.
- In the INSTRUMENT screen, open the EDITOR tab.
- Set Model to D_DP10 (10" dual-zone pad) or D_DP12S (12" pad) to enable head + rim triggering.
- Tune: Pad Sensitivity 1–32 (head strike strength), Rim Sensitivity 1–32 (rim hit strength), Threshold 1–32 (minimum trigger force), Mask Time 1–32 ms (retrigger window), XTalk 0–100 (crosstalk rejection).
- In INSTRUMENT > VOICE, use the FILTERS column to find snare sounds and assign head and rim voices separately.
Tips
- Head hits send MIDI note 38 (Snare center); rim hits send note 37 (sidestick) or 40 (rimshot) depending on technique.
- Curve Type: LINEAR is a smooth velocity curve; LOG is most natural for most players; EXP gives higher velocities at softer strikes.
