Thanks, Hellfire.
So this generates another question, or two...
Can I use the 3-zone ride as a 2-zone ride? I'm totally OK with not using the choke feature. However, do I need to get a plug-in resistor (like the ones on the crash cymbals) and do I need TPS cable (or two) to still be able to make the bell and bow sounds?
Thanks in advance!
You can "trick" the ride a bit by inserting a cable into the unused output on the pad itself. I can't remember off the top of my head which one, but one will allow it to work, triggering both bell and bow, and one won't allow it to work much at all. I did this to free up my Ride2 input when I expanded my kit a bit.
One thing I did try last week was using a headphone adapter (small to large) in the unused output. We were discussing band matters and finishing up some vocal track recordings, so I didn't get to fully test it, but just messing around a bit, I think that worked also, so it eliminates the extra cable just hanging from the ride. I'll test it out some more tomorrow night at practice to see if it truly does work.
