Setup details by role
Snare pad 2-zone 1× TRS → SNARE lead on the signal-connection harness
The DED-400 snare channel is dual-zone — the module supports "double trigger, with side response", so the head and the drum edge (rim) trigger separately, and a side-strike/cross-stick is produced with the SNARE + RIM combination. Pads connect through the signal-connection harness, which ends in a multi-pin parallel-port plug on the module's TRIGGER INPUT port.
Tom pad 1-zone 1× TRS per tom → TOM1/TOM2/TOM3 leads on the signal-connection harness (TOM4 is a discrete expansion jack)
The DED-400 tom inputs are single-zone. Only the head zone will trigger; rim hits will not produce a separate sound.
Kick pad Works 1× TS or TRS → KICK lead on the signal-connection harness
Single-zone kick trigger. Only the head zone is active.
2-zone crash 2-zone 1× TRS → CRASH1 lead on the signal-connection harness, or the discrete CRASH2 expansion jack
Dual-zone cymbal triggering supported on the Crash inputs.
3-zone ride 2-zone 1× TRS: Ride 1 (bow/edge) → RIDE lead on the signal-connection harness
Plug the Lemon ride's Ride 1 cable into the Ride input for bow + edge — no cymbal modification. The DED-400 has no ride-bell voice, so bow + edge is the full 2-zone ride it can drive.
Hi-hat Open/Closed 1× TRS pad → HI-HAT lead, with the pedal on its own separate lead of the signal-connection harness (the panel distinguishes HI-HAT from HH-CTRL, p.9)
Switch-type hi-hat — the manual documents three discrete states (p.10), not continuous pedal travel.
