Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I have recently done this by using a standard stereo 1/4" jack -> two
mono 1/4" jacks.  This is the same cable as you would use to separate
a stereo output to two mono inputs (such as to get to / from a mixer
board or something).  I have used this cable with a TP65 and a custom
splash cymbal which I made, with no crosstalk or anything.  I don't
know why you are getting double triggering, perhaps the cable is not
really a stereo -> 2x mono?  I have no need for diodes or anything.

Granted, both of these pads are single zone, but IIRC you cannot use
anything other than this for ports 9 and 10 (or if you try to use
them, they will function only as single zone pads).

If I am incorrect, please somebody, correct me; as I said, it works
fine for me.
