Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] SDE Audio INPUT jack on rear panel???

Hi, Jesper, and thanks a bunch...

I am afraid I still don't understand, though. Is it meant to be an audio signal - as in from a microphone or synth - whose voltage is converted to a signal which triggers a midi channel in the SDE? And even so, if this is the case, there must be some internal setting that I am overlooking to get this to function. Maybe it would help if I look at the TMI manual. Is a copy of it here on the forum?
Thanks so much,
Chris
