More V-drums than trigger inputs?

[Tim P Registered Member Find all posts View Profile Close Tim P]

Hi all,

after lurking around this excellent discussion forum for a while (and learning a lot from many of your posts), I have one question:

Some pictures of other people's V-Drum kits seem to have more instruments (drums/cymbals) connected than there are trigger inputs on a TD-10. How do they do it? Split cables? Extra TD-10?

Thanks,
Tim

Greetings Tim and welcome to the madness . To answer your question about that you see more pads then inputs is that yes you would add an extra brain, whether that be a second TD-10, or in my case I added a TD-8 to go with my TD-10. Also I have a SPD-20 which has pad inputs in the back. Some people also have gone with different brand brains as an addition. Anyway, hope this helps.

Tim,

You can also use a trigger to MIDI converter like the Roland PM16 or the KAT MIDIKiti. This allows almost endless inputs to be used on the sam brain. Check out my original post on this topic here: http://www.vdrums.com/discussion/For...ML/000261.html

I use an Alesis D4 for my extra inputs (I put all my Visu-lite cymbals into it) and midi that up to the TD-10. I don't use any actual sounds from the D4. I think they can be picked up for pretty cheap.

Sssssccchhhhh, don't anyone mention the 'Holy Grail'. Maybe this thread will just go away without anyone having to provide an explanation!

I was thinking the same thing.

Steveo and Jgel are up to mischief. The cyber equivalent of starting a fire to watch it burn. Hee. Hee. Hee.
