Gilligan,

I may be coming to this thread in the middle and missing something, 
but I seem to recall that input 9 or 10 may also have a cowbell 
programmed by default. In other words, when you plug the kick into 
9/10 and another pad into the kick, you might get a cowbell sound 
from one of them until you change it. 

There are no inputs without triggering capability. However, access to 
input 9/10 requires either the use of a TRS "Y" splitter for two 
separate pads or a single dual-zone pad with two distinct output 
jacks; the use of the kick pad as a splitter for itself and another 
pad; or a dual-zone pad (like Yamaha's BP-80, not a stereo pad like 
the TP-65) that has a single output on a stereo cable. If you insert 
any cable into 9/10 from a mono pad, you'll get only one sound, and 
one half of the double input will remain idle. Did I clear anything 
up or make it worse?
