T550 12" Snare on Donner DED-300X

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 12" Snare when used with the Donner DED-300X.

Yes — the T550 12" Snare works as a full snare on the Donner DED-300X: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: SNARE lead on the signal-connection harness → snare pad

The DED-300X snare channel is dual-zone — head and rim trigger as separate MIDI notes, and a rimshot articulation is available via the XSTICK ADJ setting (MENU > AMBIENCE). Pads connect through a labeled multi-pin harness that plugs into the module's parallel-port connector.

Cable routing

Plug the SNARE lead on the module's supplied signal-connection harness into the snare pad. The harness ends in a multi-pin parallel-port (Centronics) plug that connects to the module — the DED-300X has no individual per-pad rear-panel jacks; only the TOM4 and CRASH2 expansion inputs are discrete 1/4" jacks.

Module settings

MENU > SENSITIVITY > select SN (the snare) > set SEN (drum sensitivity, 01-06), THREH. (trigger threshold, 01-32), XTALK (crosstalk threshold, 01-32), RETR. (repeat trigger, 01-32), and VOL (volume, 00-127).
MENU > AMBIENCE > XSTICK ADJ tunes the snare rimshot trigger sensitivity.
Press SAVE to store the settings to the current PRESET.

Tips

Snare MIDI notes: head = 38, rim/sidestick = 37, rimshot = 40.
MENU > MIDI NOTE lets you remap any zone's MIDI value if you use external software.
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.
