Question on Roland BT-1 set up. My goal is to add a side stick trigger to side of my snare (think ATV or EFnote).monospace wrote:Roland BT-1: by default in "switch" mode (i.e. with internal crosstalk cancellation enabled; reduced dynamic range)
When used in dual mono mode, *and* reversing polarity or using a splitter cable, Tip will enable "sensor" mode.
Roland PD-80R: head/rim/rimshot
From reading the first post of this thread I see I can connect a BT-1 to my, on order, ED4 with a TRS cable and use an entire input for the BT-1 “switch” mode, which is the internal crosstalk cancellation built into the wiring by Roland. I can live with this set up, if required.
However, I would like to use only a mono signal for BT-1 and leave the other mono signal available for another single zone pad (in my case the kick, KD-10).
Based on the post I’m quoting in this post, I should be able to attach a splitter to the eDRUMin input. This one for example is what I own. (I already do this for my kick and a PDX-8).

And then I can use the ring for the kick, but to make the BT-1 work I would need another type of splitter for only sensing the tip signal of the BT-1 output/cable.
This is the splitter I think I would need.

Cable set up would be starting at the BT-1 output. Male BT-1 TRS output cable connected to female TRS port of the stereo breakout splitter (2nd link). Then connect male tip TS jack of the stereo breakout splitter to the tip port of the first splitter. The ring male TS jack of the stereo breakout splitter is loose, not connected.
Then on the control app I select dual mono. The kick is the ring input and a single zone rubber pad, and the BT-1 is a mono signal on the tip. The BT-1 should be in the high sensitive mode, but I think unlike the main post of this thread that says use only the SS articulation with this set up the head articulation can be used????
Also, if I am to mount this BT-1 to my snare rim (PD-125BK) I should use the “future” 1.5 firmware that will have a crosstalk group (for example crosstalk group of snare and BT-1).
Can those experts on the forum check my logic and provide any feedback.
Thanks.
