For those of you who followed my Pintech Snare dilemma yesterday....

As Walt and Ed suggested, I split the snare cable and ran the head 
through trigger one and the rim through 9/10. I was able to achieve 
the dynamics and sensitvity I was looking for.

Losing the 9/10 trigger meant I could no longer use my bar pad. So, I 
then moved a TP80 to the HH and programmed the rim for cowbells etc. 
Then I had the idea to take a reverse splitter and run the bar pad 
together with the snare rim splitter that was going into 9/10. That 
worked in that it gave me one pad of the BP to work with.

That now has me wondering if it would be possible to split the HH 
cable and take it into 9/10, giving me the ability to trigger the HH 
rimsound by hitting the now-inactive BP pad. HMMMM.

You ought to see the back of my module with all the splitters. It's 
got some serious wire-management issues!

The only negative I ran into last night was that I was losing the HH 
with each snare beat. This is my first experience with rejection 
issues so I really am not sure how to deal with it. The manual isn't 
very clear.

I know Ed made a rather in-depth post about this some time ago. I'll 
follow that advice and see what happens.

Stephen,

If I understand you correctly (and I'm not sure that I do; your 
splitter situation is like one of those exercises in logic that 
illustrates why symbolic notation was invented), you can't use a 
mono pad to retrieve a rim sound programmed to a membrane switch 
under any conditions. The best you can do--you've done it, I think--
is use a splitter with two stereo pads to get the same rim/body 
voices in each via a single stereo input. The bar pad is basically 
two mono sensors (not a "stereo" combo); neither will get the rim 
sound from a TP80S, only the body.

Ed:
I thought that would probably be the case. And, if it would have 
worked, I would have probably needed a splitter that would consist of 
two RING jacks going into a single RING jack (rather than the normal 
RING and TIP jacks going to a combined RING/TIP jack). Oh well, I'll 
try to get by.

Just one more reason why I should follow Jade into the MIDI world, I 
gess.
