Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] SDS3 pads connector

Hello Alphonso,
 
the DIN is wired like this: the MIDDLE pin (labelled "2" on the connector) is ground, the other four are the pad inputs. This is different to MIDI, because MIDI uses only 3 pins.

Subject: [Simmons Drums] SDS3 pads connector

 

Hi group!
Anyone know what type of DIN connector is valid to connect the SDS3 pads to the module?. I tried with a MIDI cable but only a couple of pads work in this way. Perhaps the pad piezzos  are failing or  maybe I need to connect the MIDI pins in a different way?.

Thanks in advance!
