Is MD inputs mono or stereo ?

Postby Metalal5150 » Fri Jul 14, 2023 4:16 pm

Hi guys.

Does anybody know if it's possible to connect two piezos to a one input in MD?
Say for example I went from single kick to double kick pedal and have separate piezo In each beater.
Now. Do I connect it through a Y wire = two piezos into a stereo jack and onto kick input inMD ?
Or is the MD all mono ins and instead of Y wire I should run two mono wires and just assign it to a different input on MD ? And is it same for say two or three zone snares and Toms and Cymbals ?

How do we go around it guys ?
Are the inputs mono or stereo?

Thanks !!

I'd skip the kick input because it's only a single piezo input. All the rest are stereo, which accept either:

- Piezo + piezo as separate mono pads (what you'd do here with your 2 separate kicks).
- Piezo + piezo dual pads (two piezos on the same pad)
- Piezo + switch (e.g. dual zone/dual zone + choke cymbals).
- Piezo + switch + switch (3-zone pads).

There are more than enough inputs to be able to leave the kick input unused.
If it ain't broken... fix it until it is.
