Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

All of inputs 1-8 are stereo ready and can be used for any pad that 
you choose when you program your own kits. But in the preset kits,  
input 6 assumes a stereo ride and 7 a stereo crash, whether you have 
a stereo pad connected to them or not. If you use your rim-switched 
cymbal as a crash (input 7 in the presets), you'll get the two 
sounds listed in the back of the manual for that preset kit number; 
if you use it in the ride input, you'll get the two sounds listed 
for input 6 of that particular kit. The ride rim might be another 
ride, a bell sound, or a crash. It depends on what the preset is. 
Check the manual, or work through the kits yourself to hear what 
Yamaha hath wrought. I hope that I've understood you correctly.
