Q: "How come I
can't use a stereo cable to
attach two mono triggers
(like two toms) into one of the
dual trigger (stereo) inputs on
a Roland TD-8, and make one a
tom, and make one a rim (and
assign it a tom sound)? In other
words, why can't I hook up two
toms to input jacks 4-10?"
Roland Inputs
A: Inputs 4-10 on
the Roland TD-8 are "piezo +
switch" (often incorrectly
called "stereo") inputs and you
need pads like Roland's PD-7/9
and CY-6/12H/14C to utilize
their dual capability.
