Hey guys, just bought a couple of On Triggers for the kick, those things you paste under your footboards of your pedals and align with the position when the beater hits the head. Pretty interesting concept, seems to work nicely on my e-kit with just using a Y- cable to put both triggers in one trigger input.
Moving to my acoustic kit, however, I use an Alesis Samplepad for samples and kick triggers. The same configuration, both triggers via a Y-splitter in the kick input makes one sound much softer. Sensitivity settings don’t help much.
Interstingly, when using a very small mixer with just both triggers in a line-in and the main out towards the trigger input on the Samplepad seems to work perfectly. But damn, lot of messy cable nonsense and it doesn’t feel like the best solution.
Anyone know a good way to work on this? Preferably without buying a new Samplepad/Module with more inputs, that’s my plan B :')
Tried some different types of splitters now. Had one 2xmono to mono splitter, which had the left trigger softer. a 2xmono to stereosplitter works on my e-kit module because it has dual zones, so seperate triggers can be set up as I want. However, the samplepad is apparently just a single-zone trigger input because it only recognizes one trigger (apparently that’s a mono input).
I now see that you also said a stereo-mono adapter on each trigger, haven’t tried that. I think that these triggers are just mono (based on other triggers I worked with, but it sounds like a thing to check).
