SMARTRIGGER USERS GUIDE Version 1.4 1/30/2005
Triggering the Dual-Zone Ride
The Smartrigger ride cymbals use a dual-piezo design where the main piezo is mounted under the bow of the cymbal in the trigger housing and a second piezo is mounted directly under the bell of the cymbal. The main piezo is triggered when you play o the bow of the cymbal while the second piezo is triggered when you play the bell of the cymbal.
Smartrigger’s patent-pending design allows you to play the ride cymbal just as you would play an acoustic cymbal. Light bell strokes are now possible by playing the bell of the cymbal with the tip of your stick. You no longer have to “whack” the bell of the cymbal to reproduce a bell sound from your drum module.
Because the ride cymbal uses a dual-piezo design, you will have to use a dual-piezo input on your drum module or split the two piezo triggers into two single inputs using the included Y adapter. Settings and specifics for each module are provided below.
