Re: Idea's For Hooking Up Multiple Modules & Pads?

2004-11-20 by zapaxe

Hi OGD,

This rejection you mention is only on one pad into multiple inputs 
of the same module? Or is it for one pads into different modules as 
well? 
Truthfully I've never experienced rejection or crosstriggering, so 
I'm not certain exactly what that is...?
I'll take a guess (with out RTFM)that rejection is the trigger not 
triggering? and crosstriggering is unwanted triggering of other 
voices/sounds?
I set up and mounted all my extra pads, and this weekend I plan to 
hook up all three of my modules to my mixer. I supposes I be running 
into more issues that I've never even heard of before :/
