13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Roland TD-8
Setup — 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Roland TD-8
Reduced — 2-zone rideThe 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on your Roland TD-8 with reduced zones.
Bell
Bow
Edge
Wiring: 1× TRS (Cable 2) → RIDE input on the rear panel — bow + bell
Full 3-zone is not supported — this module has a single Ride input. Connect Cable 2 (bow + bell) from the Lemon 3-zone ride cymbal; bow and bell zones both work through this cable.
Cable routing
- Connect Cable 2 (the bow + bell cable) from the Lemon 3-zone ride cymbal to the RIDE input.
Module settings
- Press [TRIGGER] > [BANK] and navigate to the RIDE input.
- Set the trigger type to a 2-zone cymbal (CY-12C, CY-12R/C, CY-8, or CY-5 depending on size) — the TD-8 has a single Ride input so 3-zone ride pad types are not available here.
- Tune Sensitivity, Threshold, and Crosstalk until bow and bell strikes read consistently.
- In your kit, load a ride-bow sample on the bow zone and a ride-bell sample on the second zone — bow and bell hits will play through Cable 2 as expected.
Tips
- Cable 2 delivers bow and bell — the two most-used zones for ride playing.
- Full simultaneous 3-zone operation is not available on this module — only one cable can be connected at a time.
