18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Yamaha DTX700

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Yamaha DTX700.

Yes — the 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works as a full 2-zone crash on the Yamaha DTX700: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS → Crash1 or Crash2 input (1/4" TRS jack)

The DTX700 reads 2-zone cymbals (bow + edge) on its stereo TRS crash inputs — set the cymbal pad type so both zones register.

Connect the cymbal to the Crash1 or Crash2 input using a standard 1/4" TRS cable.
The DTX700 has 12 individual 1/4" TRS jacks: Kick, Snare, Tom1-3, Hi-Hat, Crash1, Crash2, Ride, Ride Bell (PAD 11), HH Controller.

Press the [MENU] button, turn the dial to select Trigger, then press the dial.
Turn the dial to select Pad, then press the dial; strike the cymbal so its Crash input is selected.
Move the cursor to the PadType row and set a 2-zone cymbal pad type.
Set Gain (Input Gain) and Sensitivity so bow strikes register cleanly.
Adjust MinLevel (Minimum Input Level) and RejectTime (Reject Time) to reject false hits and double triggers.
