If you look at the picture in the photos section, the pads/cymbals on the left section go to module no. 1, the middle pads to module no. 2 and the right side pads to module no. 3. Even with that separation, it still wasn't enough to stop cross-triggering, because dense packing of pads, the cymbal arms just seem to amplifly the vibration effects to the tom pads. And since you can only specifiy one other trigger to "specific rejection" per pad, I had to find another solution. So I replace the mounting clamps of the offending cymbal arms with some Gilbraltor multi-clamps, bought a heavy duty rubber washing machine drain hose and cut it up and placed it between the cymbal mounting arm and the clamp and it solved my problem.
