I have RTFM from cover to cover and cannot figure this out. I want to use a PD-6 pad as an extra floor tom on my TD-6. The TD-6 has an input for trigger 7/8, which they recommend using for TOMs 3&4. They specify an optional cable, PCS-31, to do this. This cable looks like a "Y" type adapter, with two mono plugs, each to the two pads, and a stereo plug, which plugs into the brain at trigger 7/8. Simple enough.
I went to Radio Shack and bought an adapter, two mono into one stereo, to do the same. I plugged it all in and, sure enough, I get a sound from both pads. Only problem being that they are both seen as the same pad by the brain, both triggering TOM3 on trigger 7! I was hoping that by virtue of each pad coming on a different side of the stereo plug it would route one pad's output to trigger 7 and the other's to trigger 8, that way I would have TOM3 on trigger 7, and TOM4 on trigger 8. From the way the manual reads, that is the way it should be acting... should being the operative word, here.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or reality checks I need to hear on this?
Thanks,
Bob
