Re: pad in to the kp65(kick pad)

2004-06-10 by jamie@jocose.co.uk

is it possible then to wire something up that means you can short
across it by hitting a pad.Is this the idea of the "magic box?"

sorry if i'm seeming really slow here, i don't know much about
electronics and i've only recently joined the group.


"If you use sufficent force while inserting the jack, you could
activate the pad piezo at the same time that the "rim" lead/common
ground is being shorted across, thus activating the "KickR" voice."

"The "second input" is wired to the rim (sleeve) 
conductor of the KP65 stereo output. If you momentarily short it 
while plugging it in, it will "fool" the module into thinking the 
rim has been triggered."
