18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Roland SPD-SX PRO
Setup — 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Roland SPD-SX PRO
Use as 2-zone rideThe 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on your Roland SPD-SX PRO with reduced zones.
Bell
Bow
Edge
Wiring: 1× TRS from the ride's bow+bell output (post-rewire) → a TRIGGER IN jack set to HEAD&RIM — bow + bell
The SPD-SX PRO's trigger inputs are 2-zone (head + 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 HEAD&RIM 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 TRIGGER IN jack set to HEAD&RIM.
Module settings
- Press [MENU] > SYSTEM > PAD/TRIG IN > [F1] (PARAM), select the trigger input and set Input Mode to HEAD&RIM.
- Set Trig Type to a 2-zone ride/crash profile such as CY-13R.
- In KIT EDIT, assign a ride-bow wave to the head and a ride-bell wave to the rim.
Tips
- Bow plays on the head zone, bell on the rim zone.
- The edge/crash zone of a 3-zone ride is not available on the SPD-SX PRO's 2-zone inputs.
