13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Yamaha DTX400K

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Yamaha DTX400K.

Setup — 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Yamaha DTX400K

Use as 1-zone ride

Yes — the 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on the Yamaha DTX400K as a 1-zone ride: bow only.

Bell Bow Edge

Wiring: 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.

Cable routing

  1. Connect the cymbal's Ride 2 output (bow + bell) — unplug the stock ride pad from the nine-channel snake and use that lead, or a 3.5 mm-to-1/4" mono adapter at the module (p.18, p.64).

Module settings

  1. Hold the [KIT] button and press the [SONG] button to enter Menu Mode.
  2. Press number button [5] to select the Trigger Settings group.
  3. Press number button [5] for the Gain parameter, strike the ride to select it, then set the gain (1-127) with the number buttons.
  4. Press number button [6] for the Minimum Level parameter, strike the ride, then set the minimum level (0-99 %).
  5. This input reads bow only — load a ride voice whose bow sample works on its own.

Tips

  1. The Ride 2 output still carries bow and bell from the cymbal, but only one channel reaches this module.
  2. There is one RIDE channel — a second ride cable has no jack to go to.
13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride also fits 74 other drum modules — see setup
