I plug the pedal into input number 3 on the Trigger IO …

Where did you plug the HiHat Pad in Alesis Trigger IO?

Normally the HiHat pad had to plug into input number 3! The pedal always should have been plugged into input number 9 !

You will see this in the diagram on page 3 of your Alesis manual.

The crash and china Cymbals have 2 mapped sounds only, that’s right. All ride cymbal into superior drummer can do more than two sounds like tip, edge, bell etc.

The most crash cymbal that I know only have one trigger (sometimes with choke). The ride cymbals could have one, two or three zoone triggers with/without choke.

In NY-Avatar (standard in Superior Drummer 2) there are only three sounds for the ride cymbal: Ride, Bell and Edge.

How to manage: Choose the page ‘Mapping Window’ into Superior DR and then do a right click on that cymbal you want to edit (see manual page 18 and 26). On the right top corner of the superior box you can right click on the sound (Ride, Bell or Edge) and immediatly you will see the keys in at the bottom keyboard colored orange. Now you can choose that midi note into your hardware or better click the ‘learn Button’ in the top right corner and hit your drum for to change.

It is possible to pull an cymbal sound with your mouse on a special key, too.

If this will not be enough for you, than you can create your own midi nodes (see manual page 30). That means different sounds with one trigger depending on your hit velocity only!

I hope this will be helpfully for you.
