Is piezo-piezo-switch pads already supported?
In my case I will use for a diy snare pad

No. Such cymbals are rare as they are susceptible to high zone crosstalk/bad zones separation and I don't have any to test with.

What about for a piezo-piezo snare with an switch to turn on and off snare strainer? It is not a bad idea

This same switch could used to switch between rimhit and crosstick

To test it could be a simple boolean switch

To test what with a boolean switch? Theory? And who makes such snares?
It seems to me it is still better to be done with piezo/switch/switch like a Yamaha XP 120 snare.

The idea is to add a switch to a piezo-piezo snare. This switch could be used to control the snare wires on/off or even to swap between rimhit/rimclick

The snare is DIY. A end switch is attached to the snarewire lever.

The same switch input can be used for example with TTP224. So it check the hand touching the snare head in order to swap between rimhit/rimclick

The boolean mention is just to clarify that the input feature is a digital value (LOW or HIGH) input instead of analog (0V to 3.3V) sorry for the confusion.

Any switch is a boolean device
