I am putting together a large set, much like the one on HART's homepage (www.hartdynamics.com). I will be using a TD-8 and a DM-5 for my modules. I will probably allocate the cymbals, effect, etc. to the DM-5.
My question is:
How can I get the TD-8 to handle all 6 toms, snare, and kick? I can plug the snare and kick in with no problem. Now I have 8 inputs to mess with, correct? I will need to use 6 of them for mesh headed toms. Can this be accomplished by just plugging them into the TD-8, and dialing in each pad individually as a tom sound? Would Y-cording work, therefore saving some inputs?
I seem to remember reading that only certain inputs on the TD-8 could be used for mesh headed toms.
I also wanted to know if you can "tune" the toms on the TD-8. I figure that each "preset" kit only has 4 toms allocated to it, so I would have to manually set a tom sound to the extra toms. I would want to be able to tune them up or down so they would be consistent with the preset toms. Is this possible?
Does this set up sound feasable? Is there a better large kit/2 module set up that someone would recommend?
