Do you have the midi or non-midi version? The 
expansion boards are totally different. Check pin 2 of IC 6 and follow the 
track: R20 is located between Gate in and out jacks. R21 is near IC 6. One of 
the SDS6 here has R20 cut off and R21 lowered to 5K6. 
Works with any trigger.
 
Best

  the preamp of the 2600 for a little added gain before the SDS 6 
  input.

  really.
