Roland PD7 pads with DM10

[Giorgio]

Hi,

I can get 2 Roland pd7 pads including mounts for relatively cheap here (50 EUR incl shipping).

Any of you have experience with these? i plan to use them as 2 splashes or maybe a side snare and 1 splash. I just need to buy 2 y-cables to split the inputs.

Georgio,

I don't see it on the list here http://www.alesis.com/stuff/contentmgr/files/22/b3d48123f7dac8066c0869d6a34cd66a/file/dm10_module___trigger_compatibility_guide.pdf, but I have used old Yamaha pads (PTT8 and PTS8) without any problems. You may want to refer to the pdf link for setting the parameters (try the PD8 values, test, tweak, repeat)..

Best of luck,

~D

Hi DeeDubs,

I indeed checked that file but it doesn't have every pad available. The Roland CY-5 for example also isn't on that list (The CY-8 is though) but it works perfectly for me.

I'm probably getting 2 PCY60 Yamaha's instead. Those are also not listed but the PCY65 are, and they are supposed to work. If not I will just sell them again

Thanks for the reply! I will let you know if they work if I get either of them.

Is there an existing thread somewhere on this forum with a list of 3rd party pads/cymbals that work but are not on the alesis trigger compatibility PDF? Maybe we should create one so everyone can contribute.

That's a really good idea - if there isn't one already.
