Hi PQ,

There are basically three types of triggere; single,
dual and stereo.  For a great explaination of dual
versus stereo look at post # 1597 in this group.

The DTXpress has 8 stereo inputs (numbers 1-8) and two
single inputs (numbers 9 and 10).  You can use one
input for more than one pad, but when you do this you
will have the same sound for both pads.  An example of
where his may not be a problem is for setting up a
double bass - usually if both sound the same it is not
a problem.  Also, you could have two crashes sharing
one input.

If you find you want more pads than you have inputs
for, you can alsways add a second module or you can
add pad to MIDI interface such as a the Roland PM16 to
increase the number of inpurts you have.

I hope this helps, but if you have more questions,
just ask away.

Thanks,  Walt
