Hi Daniel,

A PM-16 is a triggee to midi interface device. Think of it as being
1/2 of a module - it converts pad hits to a midi note number, then
sends that note number to another midi device to convert into
sounds. Inside the Yamaha modules a very similar thing happens
between the trigger and voice sections of the module.

It is one way to expand the available inputs, adding a second module
is another way. Both have their pros and cons - I had a pm-16 for my
kit but now use 2 modules instead.

but for what I gather is a cheaper way to get more pads installed. I
am correct to think that I could add, say.. 6 or 8 more pads to the
kit? Is the PM-16 a drum pad like the ddpad DD-55? I am asking
because I have like 6 more pads sitting around waiting for another
drum module that I would love to put to good use at a sensitive $$...
