Well, in BFD or Addictive Drums 2 I would do it in the Map editor, but unfortunately it doesn’t appear EZD has that functionality. The next step would be to do it via your Alesis drum module, through trigger assignments. I have just been reading the DM10 manual, and unfortunately it says that the Hi Hat and the Ride are the only 2 kit pieces that you CANT change the assignment of, so I am guessing that the DM6 will be the same. I think you may be out of luck. But you would be able to work around it by editing the midi later in your DAW, basically using the Ride as a crash, and then moving all the Ride notes to a second Crash cymbal, to make it sound more like a crash, you could make sure you hit the ‘Bow” articulation, which would be relatively easy, and picking the best ride for that sound, at least that would work under the circumstances I think, then as you planned overdub your ride if you are using it.

What DAW are you using ? I will think more on it, and there are other ways, depending, but it would require more effort than the above,

Hi, I just tried with my DM10 kit, it works fine (I usually use BFD3 and use EZD2 with midi files for song writing and it’s song writing capabilities/tools)
You should just have to as you have done select Alesis from the drop down, and in the menu at the top where you have File – Settings – Help, select Settings-Audio Midi setup – then Midi Device and select your device, if it doesn’t show at first hit the Rescan Devices. You should basically be ready to go apart from any fine tuning you may want to do at your module or whatever.
