    Drum Triggers without the "brain"?

    Is it possible to use drum triggers without the "brain" or sound module. Here's what I'm thinking: Trigger an acoustic kit. Use the 1/4 outs of each trigger directly into daw interface.

    Studio Furniture Laminate

    MIDI controller noise that I can't figure out

    Hi, I decided to try out some soft synths that came with Sonar 2.2. I got a keyboard controller that is going into a MIDISport USB 4x4. When I try to play through any of the included soft synths (Edirol VSC, Triangle, Dreamstation) I get the proper sound but it sounds like a helicopter. Has...
