I have one question.

Should Ride bell be considered as Edge or Rim?
Quite confusing..

On cymbals Bell is treated as Head on drum pads and Edge is treated as Rim and vice versa.

I usually play Bow or bell on the ride.
In the megadrum menu there's RideB and RideE. Is RideB bell and RideE Bow?

I think that's correct. E might stand for edge?

Also, there was something I was wondering about when I looked at the documentation. How do you wire the ground for each input? I see the tip and rim, but none of the sleeves.

Is there any other way but connect them to the ground?

hahaha. I was just about to edit my post. After looking at the schematics again, I finally understood how it should be wired. I thought that each jack input needed to be separately connected to ground. Now I understand that they can be all connected together. It doesn't matter which ground I use (pin1, 2, 21, 22, 39, 40) right? Basically I can wire all the sleeves from the inputs together (is that called in "series"?) and then connect it to one of the ground pins, right?

[dmitri]

Correct. Use a wire as thick as possible:)

If all goes well I will get my pcb's for my stereoconnectors tomorrow and that's all that's left to fix.
