Hi,
to make it short and precise:
Is there any danger in using two pads on one input (for triggering the same sound of course and in this case using a 1xMono to 2xMono Y-Cable)?
Especially when being hit at the exact same time?
to make it longer (and more precise):
I am fortunate enough to own two TD-12s and have been using the Kick-inputs for one Bassdrum on each Modul. I always kinda knew that this is overkill but it was also simple and easy to setup...
When i was browsing the web for the possibility of splitting inputs - in that case to have different sounds from each pad (i know, for piezo/switch inputs use keith reapers design and for piezo/piezo input use a y-cable with resistor, at least with the TD-12) - i came across some posts at different places where people were talking about the possible danger for the module when having two pads playing the same sound and being hit simultaneously.
Now i know that for example triggera is offering a y-cable for using two Mono pads on one (Mono)-Input and i remembered that the KD-7 is able to be daisy-chained with another KD-7. A quick visit to the roland webpage showed that the KT-10 also offers this feature.
Since i don't own either one of those and couldn't find pictures with them opened up i couldn't determine if Roland uses more or less just a y-type connection inside to make this possible or some other sort of magic.
Do any of you think or better know if there is any danger for the module if two pads on one input (via mono-y-cable or even stereo-y-cable to keep it with TRS symmetry) are being hit at the same time?
What would be the worst case scenario? The same sound but like from a pad thats too hot? A module that goes up in flames?
I appreciate any input in this matter, as i do in my TD-12s ;-)
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Johannes.
