Stephen,

If I understand you correctly (and I'm not sure that I do; your 
splitter situation is like one of those exercises in logic that 
illustrates why symbolic notation was invented), you can't use a 
mono pad to retrieve a rim sound programmed to a membrane switch 
under any conditions. The best you can do--you've done it, I think--
is use a splitter with two stereo pads to get the same rim/body 
voices in each via a single stereo input. The bar pad is basically 
two mono sensors (not a "stereo" combo); neither will get the rim 
sound from a TP80S, only the body.
