CY-Y1 allows to expand e-drum kit by connecting two cymbal pads to any dual-zone trigger input on the drum module.
It is the only e-drum pad splitter on the market today which allows to "choke" the cymbal sound.
It was developed in order to reflect my acoustic drum kit setup on Roland TD-17KVX V-Drums which I use for practice.
I have used CY-Y1 to connect two additional CY-5 e-drum cymbal pads by splitting crash 1 and crash 2 trigger inputs.
These additional pads are used as splash cymbals which I use in my acoustic setup.
As opposite to other splitters available on the market, I can still "choke" the main crash cymbals.
The setup is very simple. All that's required is to assign different instruments to RIM and HEAD trigger inputs on the module.
There is no need for changing advanced trigger settings - this was tested on TD-17, TD-27, TD-30 and TD-50 modules. Other modules may require additional tweaking.
CY-Y1 only works with cymbal pads. It is not suitable for splitting drum pads such as tom or a snare.
I have developed another version of the splitter dedicated for drum pads. It is now at testing stage and I hope to have it ready for release soon.
