Chris,

On the Dtxpress module, you can't make a selection as to the type of trigger
input you want the module to sense, in the sense of it being a stereo or a
dual zone input.

Trigger inputs 1-8 are stereo inputs only. Trigger input 9/10 is a dual
input, that can be split into two mono inputs as well. 

So on input triggers 1,3,4,5,8 you can plug in a mono pad or a stereo pad.
If you plug in a dual zone pad, only one zone will be detected.

On input triggers 2,6,7 you can plug in mono pad or a stereo pad or the new
3-zone Yamaha pad. If you plug in a dual zone pad, again only one zone will
be detected. 

On input 9/10 you can plug in a mono pad or a dual zone pad. If you plug in
a stereo pad, only one zone will be detected.

What you are really doing is selecting pad types in the module setup not
trigger types, so that the module knows how to optimize the settings based
on the pad type entered.

Hi OGD,

Gotcha: the input capabilities are hard-wired (although I could've 
sworn the DTXTreme had selectable pad types....)

The Roland TD's inputs are hard-wired, too: changing pad types 
primarily causes some trigger settings to revert to default 
values.  This is done simply as an aid for those learning to 
adjust trigger settings.
