Is it possible to connect a bar pad, which has two pads on it, into 
an external midi device such as the PM-16?  Right now I have one bar 
pad connected into inputs 9/10, but what if I wanted to connect 
another bar pad?  Is it possible?  Thanks!

Hi UNH,

Why can't you just connect a bar pad to the PM-16 by using two 
inputs on it? Depending on which tubular dual zone pad that you 
have, you may have to use a splitter.

Thats what I was wondering!  I need to buy a splitter right?  so the 
cable connects to the bar pad, and then we connect the splitter to 
that cable correct?  And then into the pm-16?  Thank you!

Right. You'll need a TRS splitter--one stereo end to take the feed 
from the dual zone pad and two mono ends to connect with the inputs 
on the PM-16. Whether the connections on the splitter are female or 
male depends on your cable configuration. Obviously, if you have a 
stereo cable coming out of the pad with a male stereo jack on the 
free end, you'll need the splitter to have a female stereo jack on 
one end to accept it, etc.
