15" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Donner DED-500P
Setup — 15" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Donner DED-500P
Use as 2-zone rideYes — the 15" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on the Donner DED-500P as a 2-zone ride: bow + edge.
Choose your ride zones
Plug: Ride 1
Wiring: RIDE lead on the Data In (DB25) harness → Ride 1 (bow/edge)
Plug the Ride input into the Lemon ride's Ride 1 output for bow + edge — no cymbal modification. The DED-500P has a single Ride input, so two of the Lemon ride's zones reach the module.
Ride setup and troubleshooting guide ›Cable routing
- Plug the RIDE lead on the module's DB25 signal-connection harness into the cymbal's Ride 1 output (bow/edge); the harness plugs into the module's "Data In" port.
Module settings
- Upon the setting interface, select TRIG and press [ENTER] to enter the trigger interface, then use the [◀]/[▶] buttons to select the Ride pad.
- Adjust Sensitivity, Threshold, Curve, and Rim Gain (rim/edge sensitivity) so bow and edge hits register cleanly; raise AntiCross if a neighboring pad falsely triggers.
- Upon the main interface, select [INST] and press [ENTER] to enter the instrument interface, then assign a ride-bow instrument to the bow zone and a ride-edge or crash instrument to the second zone (SAVE stores one pad's tone at a time).
Tips
- This is the out-of-the-box setup — no cymbal modification.
Or set it up as Bow + bell
Plug: Ride 2
Wiring: RIDE lead on the Data In (DB25) harness → Ride 2 (bow/bell, after the rewire)
After the one-time cymbal rewire Ride 2 carries bow + bell into the single Ride input. The DED-500P's sound list includes ride-bell voices to assign to the second zone.
Rewire guide ›Cable routing
- Rewire the cymbal — move the internal red/black jumper from the Ride 1 input to the Ride 2 input.
- Plug the RIDE lead on this module's DB25 signal-connection harness into the cymbal's Ride 2 output.
Module settings
- Upon the setting interface, select TRIG and press [ENTER] to enter the trigger interface, then use the [◀]/[▶] buttons to select the Ride pad.
- Adjust Sensitivity, Threshold, Curve, and Rim Gain so bow and bell hits register cleanly — Rim Gain tunes whatever signal arrives on the ring conductor, which is the bell's switch-type output after the rewire.
- Upon the main interface, select [INST] and press [ENTER] to enter the instrument interface, then assign a ride-bow instrument to the bow zone and a ride-bell voice from the sound list to the second zone (SAVE stores one pad's tone at a time).
