Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

On the TD20 I have there are two "Paired" inputs for the CY15R (Rolands
3-zone cymbal). I think when you tell the module that you have a CY15R
plugged into these two inputs, the module handles these inputs as
"linked" inputs and based on the what trigger zone you hit, it
determines what sound to play. I just don't know if it just uses the
peizo input from the one input jack or if from both, it would be easy to
find out. Just unplug one of the cables at a time and see what happens.

 

That brings up an interesting point that I will try when I get home
tonight. With the Yamaha, you can get just one (bell) or the other (rim)
to trigger at a time, not both. I am now wondering if with two inputs on
the Roland module, you can hit both the rim and the bell at the same
time and get both to sound (not that there would ever be a reason to do
it.)  I am also wondering if the bell zone is "chokable" like the rim.
Never thought of trying it before.

One query about that connection - when you hit the bell, what stops
you getting the main cymbal sound on the other input, or conversely,
when you hit the rim, what stops you getting a sound from the other
input? Is there some configuration on the module which can inhibit
one sound if there is a trigger pulse on an adjacent input (a bit like
and excessive specific trigger rejection)?
