15" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Roland TD-50X

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 15" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Roland TD-50X.

Yes — the 15" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works as a full 3-zone ride on the Roland TD-50X: bow + bell + edge.

Bell Bow Edge

Wiring: 2× TRS → the RIDE + BELL jack pair (trigger input 10) on the rear panel

Full 3-zone ride using the RIDE and BELL jacks of trigger input 10. Same physical layout as TD-50.

Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the cymbal's Ride 1 output (bow/edge) to the RIDE jack (trigger input 10) on the rear panel.
Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the cymbal's Ride 2 output (bow/bell) to the BELL jack beside it (the "10 RIDE - BELL" pair).

Press the [TRIGGER] button.
Press the PAGE [UP] button several times to display the topmost page.
Press the [F1] (BANK) button to open the TRIGGER BANK screen.
Select the RIDE (R) pad (strike it or use the cursor buttons).
Use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to set the trigger type to the model that most closely matches your connected pad (the full trigger-type list is in the module's Data List).
The bell zone is read automatically through the second cable in the 10 RIDE - BELL jack pair - no extra toggle is needed.

Both cables are required for full 3-zone operation (bell, bow, edge).
If only one cable is connected, the ride will function as 2-zone only.
If the edge and bell sounds come out swapped, the two cables are reversed — swap them at the cymbal ends.
