Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I have started using a splitter on my 9/10 input so I can get one 
sound on my bar pad and a different sound on my bell pad. The only 
problem is that the splitter always connects the A pad on the bar and 
not the B pad, which is the one I prefer to use. Has anyone had the 
same problem, and can you tell me what to do?

Hi Nick,

Does the barpad have two separate leads corresponding to its two 
sections, or does it have one? I'm assuming that it has one. It 
sounds like you may be using the wrong splitter, or no splitter, out 
of the barpad. What you need is a TRS "Y" adaptor to distinguish 
the "A pad" from the "B pad." The single stereo lead (the bottom of 
the "Y") goes into the barpad, and the two mono leads at the other 
end correspond to the tip and ring of the single stereo connector. If 
you're using a splitter for the barpad that has stereo connectors on 
the two leads instead of tip/ring mono ones (or if you're using no 
TRS splitter at all), the badpad signal won't divide properly. You 
should use the same kind of TRS "Y" interconnect to access 9/10 from 
the separate mono feeds as well. Did I hit or miss your point?

Thanks for your reply, Ed. Yes I think I've got my adaptors around 
the wrong way. I'll have another look at it...
