can I drive a trigger with a dynamic?

[cordura21]

I have a track with a shitty kick drum (who doesn't have one?).
I want to trigger a sampled one and for that I have a thing called Midi Kitti Pro, that's a trigger to midi convertor.

The question is: how do I mic that track to the trigger's input? I can't do it with a piezo (like the usual triggers), right?
Should I play it back in a speaker and record it with a mic? Wouldn't that hurt the trigger's input cause maybe the mic's input is too much for it? Do you think the trigger can handle if I directly plug a line out to it?

Cheers, Andrés

maybe...

I know the older roland units (and maybe Alesis D-4) back in the day would accept an SM-57 cuz I used to use on on my snare to trigger sounds live. Don't know if that helps you though..

Is the midi Kittie made by the Drum Kat people?

yeah, it's made by them. You can find them at http://www.alternatemode.com/

I don't have the manual of this thing. I am worried that I could blow the trigger input.

They have a forum :

whcih means they probably have a company guy online. They don't have a midi kitti manual available for download, though. too bad...

"Trigger Inputs respond to electronic triggers, acoustic triggers, and drum mics because of intelligent use of the Trigger Envelope from AUTO TRAIN. "

just set the gain really low at first so that the mic doesn't fry the channel.

hey thanks! It's like you built their website, you find everything fast

So they can get mics. Great. I wander if I could feed a line out to them. Should that be too riské?

I wish sometime I could get a manual of this black box. It's hard to understand.
