MOTM

When I said I had problems with the V-Drums, all I meant is that I have
the same problems as everyone else as far as crosstalk and false
triggers.  Even if you put each pad on its own stand you get false
triggers.  I sometimes use real cymbals with drum pads.  Hitting the
cymbals causes false triggers.
 
My advantage is that I'm working in a studio setting.  I edit out the
false triggers.
 
I use to have a KAT head with Dauz pads.  Same problem.
 
I would agree that crosstalk adjustments should be front of panel.
 
I think the Roland TD-20 converts to digital then eliminates the
crosstalk, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Alesis does the same.
Digital = Latency.  
 
I think it may be possible to do this without the trimmers, I just would
have to think about it for a while and to run some tests.
 
Doing something with this is a possible Stooge Project, but right now,
the stooges are busy trying to finish the website and get brackets and
flat rails and end caps and cables and panels happening.
 
I will put this in my collection of module ideas for consideration in
the not too distant future.

I've got a set of VDrums (TD10S - pro studio) and don't have any of those 
problems. Not sure what the difference is.

Slight variation on my original concept: Reverse the inversion. ;-)

The "anti-crosstalk inputs" should just be more inputs. The extra OUTputs
should be "anti-crosstalk outputs," i.e. inverted.

It's better this way because multiple (non-inverted) trigger inputs would be
useful for other purposes. This may not matter much unless the extra input
jacks are on the front panel, though.

With unlimited front panel space, there'd be an inversion switch and an
attenuator for each input. So much for the ideal world.

I have a double set.  Pretty much 2 of everything.
8 toms, 4 V-Crash.
2 TD10S.

I run 16 separate outputs, so each drum, cymbal, etc. has it's own
track.
Makes it very easy to do edits.

The false triggers occur between the heads, not within them.

Using real cymbals causes false triggers on both heads.

Everything is physically tied together as it's all on one big Gibralter
rack.

The metal heads love it.
