KP65 Kick Drum Trigger 2 Sockets??

KP65 Kick Drum Trigger 2 Sockets??

2003-10-01 by Michael Lieberman

Hello all,

I have owned my DTXpress for about 5 years and play regularly.

The original kit came with the KP60 tricker tower, unfortunalety the 
trigger has been replaced on three occasions.

I have now purchased the new KP65 and note that it has an input 
socket and an output socket.

What do your use the input socket for, given that the mono lead 
would be connect to the output socket from the brain?

The unit did not come with any documentation to explain the use can 
someone please advise.

Regards

Mike

It's basically a convenience for making use of 9/10. If you want to 
add a mono pad to the kit, you would normally need a stereo (TRS) 
splitter for 9/10. But if you use a stereo cable from the KP65 into 
9/10, then plug a mono pad into the KP65 input, you'll have the kick 
on 9 and the mono pad on 10 (or the other way around, I forget).

If you don't plug a pad into it, a mono cable into the kick input is 
all that's needed.

Thanks Stewart,
So I can now have two different crash cymbals!
At this point I have the three cymbal triggers, two running through a splitter into the crash brain socket, but of course you can only have the one sound for th two triggers.
Using the 9/10 I will then be able to assign the kick to one channel and the diferrent cymbal sound, or what ever to the other?
