15" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Roland Octapad SPD-30
Setup — 15" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Roland Octapad SPD-30
Use as 2-zone rideThe 15" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on your Roland Octapad SPD-30 with reduced zones.
Bell
Bow
Edge
Wiring: 1× TRS from the ride's bow+bell output (post-rewire) → an EXTERNAL TRIGGER INPUT jack with a CY Pad Type — bow + bell
The SPD-30's external inputs read two sounds per pad (Inst Head + Inst Rim) — there is no 3-zone ride mode, so the Lemon 3-zone ride drives two of its three zones here. A one-time, reversible internal jumper move (~10 min) routes bow + bell to a single TRS cable for the dual-trigger input; the edge zone is not read.
Rewire guide ›Cable routing
- Rewire the ride — move the internal red/black jumper so bow + bell share one output (see the rewire guide).
- Connect a single 1/4" TRS cable from that output to a free EXTERNAL TRIGGER INPUT jack (4/RIDE is the natural choice).
Module settings
- Press [MENU] > PAD > EXTERNAL, hit the ride to select its input, and set Pad Type to a CY profile such as CY-12R/C.
- In INST, assign a ride-bow wave to Inst Head and a ride-bell wave to Inst Rim.
Tips
- Bow plays on the head zone, bell on the rim zone.
- The edge/crash zone of a 3-zone ride is not read on the SPD-30's two-sound external inputs.
