Now I sorry for very long delay :)
   
  I have the same problem, and I use low sensivity in SDS8. I think you right, it must be problem with voltage. But I think if you use "sequencer input" in your SDS8, everything should be ok. Theoretically, 'couse I don't do this yet. When I use "sequencer input" in my SDSV and SDS7 I haven't any problems. Of course SDSV & SDS7 has normal jack inputs, unfortunately SDS8 don't.

Thanks for your response (waveterm_b and mkirmuc).

Well, here are the details:

When i plug an MTM trigger output (any channel) to an SDS-8 pad 
input, the SDS-8 input triggers constantly (sounds like a train). And 
this, even if i lower the MTM trigger output level all the way to 
zero. The only way i can stop this is by lowering the SDS-8 
sensitivity for the channel until the self-triggering stops. I have 
to compensate by tweeking certain parameters in the MTM but i cannot 
get exactly the same sensitivity i can normally get when using the 
SDS-8 alone.

The only thing i can think of is that there may be a DC offset 
voltage at the MTM's trigger outputs. Or maybe there's something 
wrong with my SDS-8?

Any other ideas?
I would like to know if someone else ever experienced this behavior 
when using these two devices together.

And curiously, i do not have this behavior when trying the MTM with 
an SDS-9. It works very well.

Thanks,
Norm.
