Questions on puting my rack together for my Simmons kit

2006-04-14 by hamsterdrum85

I am wondering how I can rum external effects to an Simmons SDS7 and 
an Akai S900 with an Alesis Midiverb. I am wondering if I do the 
following:

1. Hook drum pads up to trigger inputs on MTM
2. Hook trigger outputs of MTM to sequencer inputs of SDS7
3. Hook MIDI output of MTM to MIDI input of Akai S900
4. Hook 8 available channel outputs of SDS7 to channel inputs of 
Simmons SPM8:2
5. Hook MIDI output of Akai S900 to MIDI input of SPM8:2
6. Hook left and right outputs of SPM 8:2 to left and right inputs 
of Alesis Midiverb
7. Hook MIDI output of SPM8:2 to MIDI input of Alesis Midiverb
8. hook left and right outputs of Alesis Midiverb to 2 available 
channels of my Peavey PV-8 mixer
9. hook MIDI output of Alesis Midiverb to MIDI input of Simmons MTM
10. hook selector pad to pad input on MTM
11 hook SDS7 output of MTM to external kit selector port on SDS7

If anybody could draw this or know what they're doing about this, 
will this work? Will this slave all the equipment together? Will the 
audio of the S900 produced audio signals in digital form from the 
MIDI output of this to the MIDI input of SPM8:2 making the sounds 
audible?

I would like to know that.

Thank you

Dean Rumsey
