Title: Splitters
Post by: Ken on February 15, 2011, 08:05:54 PM
Hello fellow 2Boxers!
:patbat2box:

I got my kit last year but i am looking to expand it.

Please can you tell me..

On the toms, can I use a splitter cable and take the rim sound to another new pad?
Has anyone done this??

Thank you for your help.
Ken

That is good to know!
I assume I need male to dual female? Does this work on only Tom inputs?
Any special things I need to do?

Thank you!

it works on toms and snare only ...

you ll need a TRS(stereo)Jack to 2 mono jacks ... one tip/sleeve the other ring/sleeve

Hey Jerry, good to see you here!  :)
Would Jason's splitter's not be any good for this?

PS: Thanks for the heads up, my guys have been in touch with him  8)

Hi Cuban: No, in my understanding the Drumit 5 Tom or Snare inputs are splittable using a common insert cable/splitter.
The special Aux/Tom input splitters we discussed are a special type that work for specific Roland dual piezo inputs.

Yes, that's what I've used - standard stereo jack to twin mono jacks - and it works fine.

I keep meaning to try and see if the Cymbal inputs will work like this as well.  I know the channels are used
differently for a cymbal (choke, position, etc) but the manual seems to hint that the inputs will work in
a more standard way as well.  Anybody tried?
