Re: Three Zone Snare Pad

2007-11-21 by m_rey50

Hi, problem is that PDX8 is a "dual" pad (2 sensors) and DTX has 
a "stereo" input (1 pad + 1 or 2 switch). Switches are asocited with 
rim and Xstick, and signal provided to the module is diferent from 
that from a sensor. That's the reason you need to hit extreme to the 
RShot.

On database you can find some ways to "convert" dual's into steroes.

Regards

Pad. It is supposed to be 2 zone snare, but for some reason i get 
snare, rim shot and cross stick out of it.  The mesh head is very 
responsive and it fits well on the set.   The only draw back is that 
you have to hit it pretty hard to get the rimshot. The best part for 
me was I got use my old snare pad for an extra cymbol.
