Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] Anyone tried any newer/other gizmos with simmons pads?

I am soooooo glad I had asked these 3 questions, and I am sooooooo happy for your help and info you have shared with me.
It is true, I do not understand MIDI--- therefore, I will not try to do anything crazy to connect the Simmons pads the way I described in question # 2. I'll just leave the pads alone, and enjoy them for what they can do.
Now I have lots of homework to do by studying MIDI, reading books at the library, and learning all there is to know about it.
Most of my current recording gear (especially my Fostex VF16) has MIDI options and capabilities, but I never learned to use MIDI for anything about my gear.
As for triggering sound generators, yes- I meant synthesizers, like Moogs and ARPs;
but again, I must learn about MIDI before I try any crazy experiments.
For now, I'll just Play the Pads and enjoy them.
Thanks!!!!
xoxo- Tony
