Triggering an SDS-5 from a sampler / Drum-Computer

2008-04-16 by hauke11de

Hello group!

I tried to trigger my SDS-5 from a RX-5 Drumcomputer by Yamaha, using
single outpost from the RX-5. unfortunately I am not satisfied with
the result as I can't manage to have a proper trigger-signal. Whenever
a module of the SDS-5 is "hit" by a signal all I get is a very low
sound with only little loudness/velocity. I also tried it with an old
Casio FZ10M sampler... same result. No sounds at full velocity from
the SDS-5.

What inputs at the SDS-5 should I use?

Sorry for my bad english but I hope you can understand what I mean.
Any help would be much appreciated... thank you in advance!

Yours
Hauke
