Setup details by role
Snare pad 1-zone 1× lead on the nine-channel snake → SNARE trigger input (3.5 mm mini stereo at the module end)
This module's snare input reads the head zone only for a Lemon pad.
Tom pad 1-zone 1× lead per tom on the nine-channel snake → TOM1 / TOM2 / TOM3 trigger inputs (3.5 mm mini mono at the module end)
This module's tom inputs read the head zone only for a Lemon pad.
Kick pad Works 1× lead on the nine-channel snake → KICK/PAD trigger input (3.5 mm mini stereo at the module end)
Single-zone kick trigger. Only the head zone is active.
2-zone crash 1-zone N/A
All cymbal pads are single-zone. No multi-zone cymbal support.
3-zone ride 1-zone 1× lead on the nine-channel snake → RIDE trigger input (3.5 mm mini mono at the module end) — bow only
Full 3-zone is not supported — this module has a single Ride input, and it reads the Ride connection as a single-zone cymbal. Connect the cymbal's Ride 2 output (bow + bell); only bow-zone hits will trigger the kit’s ride voice.
Hi-hat Open/Closed 1× hi-hat pad + hi-hat controller → HI-HAT / HI-HAT CTL connectors on the nine-channel snake (3.5 mm mini at the module end)
Every trigger jack on the DTX400K is 3.5 mm mini — HI-HAT (mini mono) and HI-HAT CTL (mini stereo) per the specifications (p.64) — not 1/4", so Lemon 1/4" hardware does not plug in directly. The DTX400K ships with a basic hi-hat controller; the position-sensing HH65 is stock on the DTX430K/450K only (pp.8-10).
