Right. Ride and crash inputs are interchangeable (in fact, you could 
run a snare in them, too. Input types (like stereo, mono, dual zone) 
will accept any type of pad that meets their requirements. You simply 
have to make the proper adjustment of the pad-type setting in the 
trigger mode. Input 9/10 is essentially double mono, which in this 
context is not the same as stereo; you can put a PCY65 (no rim) in 9 
and the little Yamaha bell unit in 10 via a TRS splitter (stereo from 
input to two mono leads for the pads). But you can also plug a single 
dual-zone (dual-mono, not the same as stereo) cymbal (bow with bell) 
or dual-zone pad (mesh head with rim) into 9/10. Yamaha doesn't make 
such an animal, but Visu-lite and Pintech, for instance, do, 
respectively).
