Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Bow and rim will work in any of the Xpress inputs except 
> for 9/10, which will trigger the bow only.

why ? it's a strereo input trigger no ? i read on DTXpress manuel 
that if i use a mono cable only channel 9 will be used , so if i use 
a stereo cable on a stereo pad normaly i'll gonna have 2 sound like 
with my snare drum pad ?
i ask that cause i just move my PCY80S cymbal pad for a hit hat use ( 
i need the edge for accent on hit hat ) so now i wanted to use the 
free 9/10 input trigger for another PCY80S ( ride/crash use ) plus a 
Bell pad ( PCY10 ) unsing my past crash input , if you are right i 
cannot do that ;-(((((
