Title: Re: digitech rds triggering solutions? | midi to cv converters? | thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for all the responses to my Alesis SR-16 / Digitech RDS triggering questions...

I think i've narrowed my "Midi to CV" choices down to the following...

PAIA midi2cv8 MIDI to CV Converter Kit 
http://www.paia.com/midi2cv.htm
(set for the analog drum/trigger mode) 

- or - 

Analog Solutions MT16
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~concuss/concussor/mt16.htm
5 volt triggering / 16 outputs

The MT-16 looks like it will be the best option since i hate the smell of solder..

I'll be sure to post my adventures once i get all RDS and PDS units in sync with the Alesis SR-16 & Midi converter...

what EDP? :)
