The SDS7, like most drum brains, is looking for a very very short "spike" like signal if you are using the trigger/pad input. The closest thing on your drum machine would be a crosstick I'd guess, but even that is too long/wide of a signal. Digidesign, formerly Digidrums waaaaay back when, had a set or sound eproms for the Linn, Drumulator and other drum machines that had this sort of sound so you could trigger the drum brains from one of these drum machines. Without that, you'd have to use a noaise gate to gate the sound from the drum machine to make them short, or if you could find an old MX-1 trigger device, these were what we used back in the 80's for triggering drum brains from a sound source.

I set the sensitivity pots very down but the response it´s the same. I´m triggering the sds7 by a yamaha rx5 drum machine and when I push the pads the sound is good but when I play a pattern or sequence from the drum machine the sound is saturated. Could it be because an eprom fail?,or could it be for another reason?. Thanks
