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: 1× TRS → SNARE lead on the signal-connection harness

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

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the snare pad to the SNARE lead on the module's supplied signal-connection harness. 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 > PS (head), RS (rim), THREH, XTALK, RETRIGER, VOLUME.
MENU > AMBIENCE > XSTICK ADJ tunes the snare rimshot trigger sensitivity.

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.
