15" Dual-Zone China on Yamaha DTX400K

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 15" Dual-Zone China when used with the Yamaha DTX400K.

Yes — the 15" Dual-Zone China works on the Yamaha DTX400K as a 1-zone crash: bow only.

Bow Edge

Wiring: N/A

All cymbal pads are single-zone. No multi-zone cymbal support.

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

The DTX400K's pads connect through a nine-channel snake — nine discrete leads into nine discrete 3.5 mm mini jacks on the module (p.18, p.22).
The CRASH input is mini mono (p.64) — one channel, so an edge zone has nothing to arrive on.

15" Dual-Zone China also fits 74 other drum modules — see setup
