Ed is correct. This is an either/or situation.
My suggestion would be to move the mono trigger ride cymbal (PCY65) to zone
9.
Add the new TP65 single zone tom to zone 10.
Then put the new stereo cymbal PCY65S on the ride cymbal zone. That way all
the stock kits will still work as setup for zones 1-8.
Then you would just have copy your favorite factory kit to a user kit and
add the voices for zones 9/10. Make the extra Tom on zone 10 to be the
highest or lowest tom, so that you don't have to change anything with the
stock tom's.
If your purpose for adding the extra cymbal is to have say two crash with
the same sound, Then you could Y-splitter it with the first crash and
connect to the same zone input on the module. The cymbals would be
paralleled, so you would get the same sound from both, but you would only
use one zone input.
OR If you just need to add an extra crash/china/splash, you could just make
the bow of the origninal PCY65S stereo pad that came with the kit the "ride"
cymbal and make the edge trigger a "crash" cymbal. This would save adding
another cymbal. Remember you have two cymbals in the stock kit but you can
generate three sounds with them (PCY65=bow; PCY65S=bow,edge) which could
give you crash,ride,splash.
So if you used this last scenero and put the new TP65 on zone 9, you could
still get a barpad and put it on zone 10 (but you would only be able to use
one zone of it though.)
OGD
To others, on the subject of the barpad:
I was thinking, the barpad has two piezos in it. If you paralleled the
piezo's, but put an in-line resistor on one of them, could you then layer
two sounds (say, wood block/cowbell) and create a crossfade point. So that
if you struck the left pad the signal would be at the normal level that is
passed through that would make one sound, and if you struck the right pad
(with the in-line resistor) you would get a weaker signal and thus the
second sound. This would be very similar to layering sounds on a cymbal pad
with a crossfade.????
