Subject: Re: Visu-lite Cymbals?

How do you mean "adjustment"? I realize that the cymbal cards in the machine would dictate a "single zone" trigger, and would set them up as such. For the dual zone ride they offer, I would use a stereo "Y" splitter and split the bell signal to a separate voice card just for that sound anyway, same as I currently do for my snare pad for its stereo output for the rimclick/rimshot sound now. (I'm currently using SDS9 pads with my SDS7.) The main thing I'm worried about the Visulites would be that the output signal would be too "hot" for the SDS7. Otherwise, I would think they would work properly.....no?

They look good, are solid, though noisy but this would be an expensive experiment. You might want to try with a Kittoy or something from ebay just to get an overview.

Original Simmons cymbal triggers are rare as hens teeth as we all know. I was wondering if they will work PROPERLY (you know, electronically correct?)with an SDS-7 before outlaying the cash for them as they are on the expensive side.
