Very nice. You'll have to explain it to me. I can't trace the wiring 
to the TD-8 very well. My Visu-lite ride has a double lead from the 
cymbal, allowing separate feeds to independent inputs for bow and 
bell w/o choking. Are you saying that your bell will choke the cymbal 
by accident, or by design, via a single stereo cable to the Roland 
module? In other words, did Tom Picard sell the ride to you with the 
understanding that it would work that way, or did you stumble on it? 
Maybe this is a feature of the TD-8 and 10 modules that Yamahas don't 
duplicate, or I'm reading you wrong.
