No mystery. The electrical noise generated when you did that would 
have been enough for the module to think it had detected a rim 
switch. Just coincidence, nothing you can rely on.

Correct. You would connect the KP65 to 9/10 using a stereo cable, 
and plug a mono pad into the input on the KP65, which 
effectively "splits" the mono pad to 10, with the kick on 9. The 
module has a setting somewhere which "swaps" the standard kick pad 
settings from 1 to 9, so you don't have to reprogram any kits.

Right.
