What´s your problem ?

I use MTM with SDSV, SDS7 and SDS8. Can I help you?

Does anyone here use an MTM with an SDS-8?
I would like to compare and discuss certain behaviors i have with this
setup.

Sorry for the long delay, i was busy and didn't take the time to come and see if i had answers. 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. --- In Simmons_Drums@yahoogroups.com, Michal Kirmuc <mkirmuc@...> wrote: > > I use MTM with SDSV, SDS7 and SDS8.

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.

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

Exactly what i wanted to know! Now that i know i'm not the only one in this situation, it's probably not a defect... well... it is, but they were probably not ment to work together. It's probably why they don't mention the SDS-8 very often in the MTM user's manual... I will try directly connecting to one channel in the sequencer input. If it works, i'll just have to make a sequencer input jack to five 1/4" (TS) jacks rig.

Without knowing the MTM at all, if the SDS8 sequencer input works then I reckon a "breakout box" approach would be neatest - a box with a cable with sequencer jack coming out one side, and 5 female 1/4" jacks on the other side.
