td-12 splitter the same as td-20?

[sifuhall]

Will the same splitter that works for td-12 also work for td-20?

(Like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Roland-V-Drum-He...QQcmdZViewItem ?)

Yep. Sure will.

Thanks for the info. I picked up 4. Is my gas showing? lol

Is my gas showing

Seems to be contagious, but Michael seems to be taken it to another level (perhaps planet or galaxy even).

The next step. . .

Is the splitter for TD-12 and TD-20 the same as for the TD-10? I recently purchased some that work on the 12, but I'm not getting them to work on my 10. Anything I need to do differently to make them work?

Thanks in advance.

The modified splitters for TD-12/TD-12 Tom and Aux inputs won't work on a TD-10 as they're designed for dual-piezo inputs; on a TD-10 that's only the snare input.

Now I'm confused, since I asked some time ago if I needed splitters for my TD-10 instead of using dual-trigger toms. I was told, "For the mesh-head drums, yes, you'll need the "special splitters that the DIYers talk about," often referred to as the "Raper Circuit." "

In the mean time. . .I've actually gotten it to work, somewhat. I accidentally hit on it by changing the pad assignment to PD-7 (or 9). If the input was set for PD-80 (80R, 100, 120, etc.) it wouldn't split. But, since PD-7 and the like are piezo/switch pads, the splitter worked. . .sometimes. Help me understand this: it worked when I assigned tom 1 as PD-7, put the splitter in tom 1, and plugged two PD-80s into it. BUT, it didn't work when I put a PD-7 and a CY-8 into it. I realize there are electronic differences beween the 80s and the others, but I don't uderstand why that difference makes a difference in the triggering. Obviously, I'm not an electronics guru like many of the members here are.

On a related note, how bad is it to play PD-80s/100s when they are assigned as PD-7/9 in the module?

Well, yes; but that was followed by the suggestion that you "try searching the DIY forum with "raper circuit" for more info."

So did you follow the instructions at; Sticky: Building Keith Raper's Circuit (which would work for TD-10 inputs other than the snare)

or Sticky: Splitter for Dual Piezo inputs AKA TD-9, TD-12 or TD-20 Aux/Tom splitter Revisited like the cable linked to in the first post of this thread?

I don't think you can do any damage; it just won't work very well.

Actually, I bought the exact splitters from that eBay auction. Maybe even the one in the picture. (He's a really cool guy, by the way. And they are really well made, if anyone following this wants to order one/some from him.)

Anyway, I'll be honest. I'm not a dumb guy, but I guess electronics is just one of those subjects I have a block for. So, some of these posts about the splitter quickly get too technical for me to follow. Also, it seems like just when I think I understand it, someone else posts something saying it should be different.

I guess the bottom line is: will the splitters from the original post work on a TD-10 the way they work for a 12 or 20?

No, sorry. TD-9, 12 or 20 only because their Aux and Tom inputs are dual purpose (i.e. head and rim for rubber OR mesh), but on older modules (TD-3/6/8/10) that only applies to the snare input.
