T550 12" Snare on Simmons SD1250

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 12" Snare when used with the Simmons SD1250.

Setup — T550 12" Snare on Simmons SD1250

Works

Yes — the T550 12" Snare works as a full snare on the Simmons SD1250: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: The SNARE lead of the multi-pin cable harness → snare pad

The snare input is dual-zone (head + rim): the module's note chart gives SNARE and SNARE RIM SHOT separate MIDI notes.

Cable routing

  1. Plug the SNARE lead of the multi-pin cable harness into the snare pad — the leads are marked with the pad each one goes to. The harness ends in a multi-pin connector that plugs into the DB25 Serial Connection Jack on the bottom of the module; apart from the right-side-panel Crash 2 and Tom 4 jacks, every pad reaches the SD1250 through the harness.

Module settings

  1. In Utility mode, press the Function button under Trigger on the Main Utility screen (Utility → Trigger F1).
  2. Select the Snare pad via Follow Trigger (strike it) or Current Trigger, then adjust Sensitivity, Threshold, Crosstalk, Retrigger, and Curve.

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo mounted under the head.
  2. On an input that reads head and rim, if the wrong zone plays, tune the module's head/rim settings for this pad's size; values set for a different-size pad may not carry over.
