hey thanks for almost instantaneous return -- i knew it must be possible -- quite intrigued as this will allow 4 voices per pad -- chords! -- thanks again -- will inform you how this develops --

       If you are wanting to create 2 zone pads using a
 piezo to trigger the rim then it isn't that simple
 (although it is not too difficult).  The rim trigger
 requires a switch closure which is simultaneous with the pad
 piezo.  If you want to use a piezo to provide the signal
 then it needs to provide two signals - a switch closure to
 emulate the switch (on the connector ring) AND provide a
 piezo signal to the connector tip.  To do that you need to
 build a simple circuit such as http://dtxpander.co.uk/DKDI-21.pdf
 The jumper JP1 is optional, as is D3 - it just gives some
 options for getting signal levels and triggering correct.

 Keith.
