Splitter probs

[daveybabes]

Just tried a diy splitter, followed jmans diagram ...

2 x mono female jacks to stereo male jack (TRS) resistor across Tip and Ring on male jack.

Wired sleeves from female jacks to sleeve on male stereo jack
Wired Tip from Male stereo jack to female jack (marked as tip)
Wired Ring from stereo jack to other female jack

Plugged in to aux that's normally china (also plugged in cowbell) and only getting one trigger working, swapped wires but only one works every time (either one or the other) (leads are fine) metered through all wires and they all line up ok.

Any ideas?

Afterwards tried a regular headphone splitter, wanting china and cowbell to work off one aux and i got china on edge of china cowbell on cowbell and cowbell on bow of china? would that be ok for now?

Also does that resistor have a great bearing? (tried turnng it around and no diff)

Many thanks from Dave

ps am i missing something? do i have to set it in the module?

Yes, you have to set the pad type to a dual piezo type like PD105 or PD125. By default the Aux inputs are set for piezo/rim-switch pad types like Roland cymbals. See Jman's suggestions in the DIY splitter sticky thread: Settings (and the following post "Dual Piezo Splitter: Quick Trigger Parameter Set-up")

And, no, it doesn't matter which direction the resistor faces...

seems like we are both spending our weekend playing with this. You are ahead of me. Drilling my holes in the project box right now!

Thanks guys

Thanks - great advice - set it on Pd125 and it's working fine, got cowbell and still have China on one zone,
