Subject: SDSV HiHat pedal - the plot thickens

From: Ed Goldfarb <madcaplabs@...>
Date: 2007-08-02

Thanks, Jesper, for giving me the courage to plug in a regular old switch to
the hi-hat input ­ it worked great, and I got inspired to explore further.
I¹m triggering my SDSV with the outputs of a Vermona DRM1 mk2, and I found
that plugging the audio output of an unused sound of the Vermona works fine
as a hi-hat switch, too, so I change from open to closed just with a MIDI
note. Most exciting, though, is that the pedal input really seems just like
a plan old CV input ­ I can open and close the hi-hat with mod wheel, touch
pad info etc. from my Voyager ­ success!

Now all I need is a set of SDSV riot shield pads ­ anyone got a set in good
condition for trade or sale?

Oh, and Thomas Dolby isn¹t as forgotten as you might think. He¹s gotten his
act back together and is taking it on the road ­ all digital, but still
kool:

Peace and love,

Ed
