Good point, well made. But... I haven't made myself clear.

Let's try a concrete example. Get a pencil and paper, because my 
ASCII art isn't up to the job...

I have a PCY-65S stereo cymbal pad, and a TP-65 mono drum pad. I have 
three stereo-mono splitters. One of these splits the stereo output 
from the PCY to two mono patch cables. Another splitter is on 9/10 
(givig me two mono piezo inputs). The last is on 1 (kick), giving me 
the ability to provide input to kick pad (piezo) and kick rim (FSR) 
seperately.

I take the "piezo" side of the PCY, and route it to one side of 9/10, 
with the TP-65 on the other. The FSR side of the PCY I route to 
the "rim" side of the kick input. The pad size comes from the KP-65 
using a mono cable as usual. So I'm not trying to put piezos through 
FSR inputs or vice versa.
