Yes, that is the intent of the Magic box. 
 
In order for the rim to trigger, the pad piezo must also trigger. For
example if you were to take a TP65S apart and physically locate the rubber
pad that contains the piezo remotely from the rim switch ribbons and then
just strike the rim switch, nothing would happen, no sound would be
generated, because the piezo did not pickup a vibration. Or if you
physically unplugged the two conductor jack from the PCB that connects the
pad piezo to the PCB, leaving the rim switches ribbons still connected to
the PCB, you could hit the ribbon switches all day long and nothing would
happen. If you look in the photo sections of this group you can see some of
the photos I took of the insides of the various pads, to help you visualize
a little better what I am trying to describe.

From: jamie@... 

is it possible then to wire something up that means you can short
across it by hitting a pad.Is this the idea of the "magic box?"


"If you use sufficent force while inserting the jack, you could
activate the pad piezo at the same time that the "rim" lead/common
ground is being shorted across, thus activating the "KickR" voice."

"The "second input" is wired to the rim (sleeve) 
conductor of the KP65 stereo output. If you momentarily short it 
while plugging it in, it will "fool" the module into thinking the 
rim has been triggered."
