Nitro Mesh Ride Cymbal Plug

The ride cymbal has a three contact plug. Anyone know which two contacts are the cymbal and what the other one is for?

Dual Cable Ride Cymbals were setup for Dual Input Modules.1 Piezo..2-switches,so a switch on each.
The Inputs/Outputs are a Circuit..1-Cymbal/Output/Module/input is Bow/Bell..the other is Edge Choke.
To use a Dual Cable Cymbal for a Module requiring 1 input,the dummy plug is used or the cymbal won't function as you have an open circuit.
You have the Choice for Bow/Bell..or Edge Choke..depending on which port you place the Dummy Plug...
Some Modules like the Original DM10 had the option to change the Ride to a Dual Zone in the settings and free up the 2nd input for use with another Instrument.
The DM10 MKII pro can be split into 2 separate cymbals also.
The STRIKE Module uses a Dual cable Ride..however does not have that option and the 2nd input (Ride 2) can only be used in circuit.

Triple Zone Single Cable Cymbals are also 1-Piezo..2-Switches however use a resistor to separate the Bell/Edge switches.

Using a piezo sensor, I found that the ride plug triggers either on the base and tip or the tip and ring. Not sure how to program these as separate outputs unless that is done somehow inside the Alesis cymbal. I am to impressed with the Alesis cymbals.
