There is only one trigger setting for a dual/3 zone input, but there
are independent volume settings.  So for example you can only have one
velocity curve and rejection setting (the trigger menu) which will be
used for a dual input (ie both of the sounds on a single connector use
the same setting), but you can set the volume and sound decay etc
individually for the two sounds (the voice menu).  I am looking at
adding an adjustment in the box to allow adjustment of the "rim"
threshold because that cannot be adjusted independently in the DTX box.

There are going to be limitations because the DTXpress dual inputs
were intended to mimic specific instruments eg a cymbal with a rim
sound, not to put a timpani and a triangle on.  However, if you try it
on your dual zone cymbal it works fine.  It just might be a surpirce
if you didn't hit the rim hard enough and got the timpani when you
wanted a triangle!
