I'm using a TR707 to trigger my TS306; seems to be a common pair among
Tama drum brain users.  

However, I think the triggers need to be a higher voltage, like +12V
instead of +5V.  

Note that you can tweak each sound, sometimes to a great extent, using
the many trimpots on the inside.  Open it up and enjoy!
