Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] MTM and SDS-8

Sorry for the long delay, i was busy and didn't take the time to come
and see if i had answers.
Thanks for your response (waveterm_b and mkirmuc).

Well, here are the details:

When i plug an MTM trigger output (any channel) to an SDS-8 pad
input, the SDS-8 input triggers constantly (sounds like a train). And
this, even if i lower the MTM trigger output level all the way to
zero. The only way i can stop this is by lowering the SDS-8
sensitivity for the channel until the self-triggering stops. I have
to compensate by tweeking certain parameters in the MTM but i cannot
get exactly the same sensitivity i can normally get when using the
SDS-8 alone.

The only thing i can think of is that there may be a DC offset
voltage at the MTM's trigger outputs. Or maybe there's something
wrong with my SDS-8?

Any other ideas?
I would like to know if someone else ever experienced this behavior
when using these two devices together.

And curiously, i do not have this behavior when trying the MTM with
an SDS-9. It works very well.

Thanks,
Norm.
