Re: Just recieved my new DTX2 & extra TP80S Pad but....

2002-12-04 by liberatusvirus

Welcome to the club. To get the "stereo" effect for the TP80S, you 
need to plug it into one of inputs 1-8. The TP80S has a piezo 
trigger for the main voice and a rim switch for the second one. If 
you use 9/10, only the main voice will be possible, since 9/10 takes 
either two mono pads, each with its own piezo trigger, or one dual-
zone pad, with two piezo triggers; it will not pick up a rim switch. 
Also, unless you plug one single-zone pad into 9/10, a "Y" splitter 
is necessary. "Stereo" in edrum lingo does not mean dual-zone; it 
refers to a pad that has a rim switch for the second voice.
