Okay, I am sure it has been asked and answered already, but i couldn't find it by searching this forum, but how do I use the 2 in 1 cable to add a fourth tom on my TD-6?
The thing they call a manual doesn't explain what to do. Here's the deal: I recently bought a CY-5, which is awesome, to use as a hit-hat. This makes my current hi-hat pad ( a PD-8), serviceable as another tom tom. I went out and got a cable splitter so I can have 2 pads going to one input jack.
The problem now is that I can't get the 'new' tom to be different than tom 3. The brain treats them both as the exact same. Can't my fourth tom be a different sound than tom 3? I assume so, otherwise it would be relatively pointless. In the manual, it says to strike the rim of tom 3 and set it to "TOM4:H.." What does this even do? I can't follow the logic here. I understand when using the 2-for-1 cable I would lose the rim sounds, but I can't seem to get this to do what I thought it would.
Please help me or help me to locate the undoubtedly numerous posts showing me the answer.
