Hi dear simmons clan , 

I have a question concerning the possibility of sequencing an sds7 .
A thought had occured to me playing my acoustic snaredrum with the simmons setup ,

This may sound extremely stupid as i have little experience in the electrical domain of synths , ( i apologize in advance )

but would it be possible to program a sequence via , lets say , logic ! , send the out's of your interface into an amplifyer and the amp into the PAD IN(s) of your sds7 and send the audio out from the sds7 back into the Interface IN(s), a boosted electrical impulse each time logic plays a midi note ? 

I haven't tried yet because the sds7 is much too dear to me to experiment , yet the curious in me remains hungry ! .

Thank you to all of you for the interesting subjects that keep occuring and the expert help of such simmons greats as Michael !

I don't follow you entirely, but I'd get a cheap midi to trig-converter 
on Ebay instead of fiddling around with stuff like that.
With a converter you can use the synth input instead and don't risk 
blowing any pad input circuits etc.

I seldom use pads for my SDS-7. I have a bunch of converters that I use 
and one day I'll modify my midi2sds2 to accept the required voltages 
too. It's just a question of time though...
