Speaking of velocity control and Trig Out... A bit off-topic perhaps, but what's the recommended setting for driving the SDS-V with an MTM? Should the trig output be set to +15V or less... and it seems like the SDS-V sensitivity should be set to "Minimum" (turn sens knobs to the left) to minimize cross-triggering... or ?
