Alternately, you can use one of the AUX inputs for the ride without the Y-cable. The AUX inputs are
dual-piezo inputs (like the toms and snare) and allow for dual-piezo stereo triggers like the Surge
Ride. This frees up inputs 10 and 11 (RIDE and EDGE) for two additional cymbals. Make sure to
select PD-120 for the input type on the AUX input as this will allow the bell and bow sounds to be
triggered, then select a Ride Bow instrument and assign it to the HEAD of the AUX input and a Ride
Bell instrument and assign it to the RIM of the AUX input. Make sure you have a Ride Bow sound
assigned to the HEAD and a Ride Bell sound assigned to the RIM of the AUX input.

Notes for using the Surge Dual-Zone Crash/Ride Cymbal:
1.
Connect the cable marked RIDE to the cymbal’s bow trigger jack (the left jack while looking at
the bottom).
2. Connect a separate stereo cable (not one in the cable harness) from the cymbal’s bell trigger
jack to the AUX input on the side of your TD-9 module.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have the two inputs set to trigger the appropriate sounds for
each kit:
RIDE Input HEAD = Ride Bow sound
RIDE Input RIM = Ride Edge sound
AUX Input HEAD = Ride Bell sound
AUX Input RIM = Ride Edge sound (same as Ride RIM input)
Notes for using the Surge Dual Zone Ride Cymbal:
1.
Plug the included stereo cable into the RIDE Input. A Ride sound should be assigned to the
HEAD trigger and a Ride Bell sound should be assigned to RIM trigger.
2. Use the CY8 Trigger Type and increase the RIM GAIN to 5.0 and adjust from there.
