Sounds like it's some weird setting or the input board cannot handle the
simple triggers, which sounds weird to me.

OT: Regarding triggering two pads at the same time: The Star Instruments
Synare PS-1 have tuneable hitting surfaces, but if you hit two it's not
like on other analogue gear. On them you often get highest note priority
etc. The Synare puts the voltages together for an even higher pitch than
the highest tuned. Odd and very useful still... :D
