Gordon,

Could you explain what you mean a little more? If you have a PCY65 
inserted into 9/10 with a stereo cable, you still should only get one 
side of this dual mono input to fire, because the PCY65 doesn't have 
a second piezo to activate the other side, even if it is the so-
called stereo version. Only two mono triggers, or a dual-zone trigger 
(not stereo), with a total of two piezos, will allow both 9 and 10 to 
create their own sounds. A pad with one piezo and one FSR for the rim 
will behave like a mono trigger unless sent to a dedicated stereo 
input (on the DTXpress, inputs 1-7, I think).

No, the group is composed mainly of people in the States, but we have 
a healthy smattering of UK members as well. Australia and the 
continent have a strong presence, too.
