Hi Blake,

The problem could have either cause.  If for some reason your trigger 
settings had changed to a mono pad, or your rim sounds had been erased 
in the voice menu, you'd lose the two switch sounds. It seems, 
however, that the pad has a proper setting, since when the cable 
shorts at the input, you catch a glimmer of the rims. Have you tried a 
another cable, or even another stereo pad (two sounds instead of 
three) to see whether at least one of the sounds comes back? It would 
e great if only a cable were at fault.  If a stereo pad gives you two 
sounds, then something is amiss with the original pad.
