Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Inputs 1 thru 8 are STEREO inputs. They will trigger two sounds from 
STEREO pads. Stereo pads use two different type triggers for the pad 
and rim. A piezo transduder for the pad and a switch type trigger for 
the rim. PCY80S uses this type arrangement. Inputs 9/10 are actually 
two MONO inputs. You can use a DUAL pad, which uses two PIEZO 
triggers, or with a splitter, two separate mono pads.
There is a post that more fully explains this distinction. Anybody 
remember the message number?
