RE: [DTXpress] Re: Added cymbal ¨ can sounds be changed ?

2009-07-23 by Damon, Rob

You can use the KP65 as the Y-splitter. You plug the extra pad into the KP65 with a mono cable and use a stereo cable between the KP65 and the Module input 9/10. You then go into the setup and tell it to swap inputs 1 with 9/10. So you can keep input 1 voice as kick on all kicks. Including the standard kits. By doing it this way you gain a stereo input (input 1) that can be used with a stereo pad/cymbal that wouldn\u2019t be usable on input 9/10.

It sometimes seems like that! I think plenty of people read the posts
but because I get my reply in first, they don't need to reply.
Hopefully others will jump in when I get it wrong.

I wish I could, but as far as I know, the kits just look at input
numbers not names such as "crash". However, couldn't you just swap the
cables over?

All the inputs 1-8 are dual zone (or 3 zone) which use a single piezo
input and a switch (on the connector ring) to get the alternative
sound(s). 9/10 consists of two single zone inputs which requires two
piezos. To get both 9 & 10 sounds you need two pads and a Y splitter
cable which will split the stereo jack input into two mono jack
connectors. There is some rubbish where you can use the kick pad as a
splitter. I cannot remember why, but it seemed like a daft idea when I
tried it - just buy a Y splitter.

Keith.
