Jyrki,

The definitive answer is that dual-triggered pads are incompatible 
with inputs 1-8 as constituted; dual and stereo components work on 
entirely different principles. Keith's invention may well rectify the 
situation, in a way that might work even better in some situations 
than the typical dual input, like 9/10, or two separate inputs, since 
it will eliminate crosstalk between the two zones, which can be a 
drag when crossticking. Two pads ultimately dependent on the same 
input on the DTXpress will not make noise at the same time 
(crosstalk, however, will still be a consideration between different 
inputs on the box). I wouldn't presume to speak for Keith, but the 
schematics are a trade secret certainly until we find out whether his 
brainchild has legs in the market.
