PDS-8000 Trigger Port

["Clifford Bosephius Alexander" <clifsound@mediaone.net>]

I think I know why there is a separate trigger input on this PDS 8000 aside
from the drum machine operation listed below- If the unit is in sample mode
you can only record samples with the Repeat- Trigger/Sample footswitch-
unless you reach down and move the switch out of Sample mode and into
Trigger mode- so the extra switch probably allows you to record samples and
trigger them all with footswitches on the fly- neat! Its fun to play with
the trigger in sample mode- can anyone say L-l-l-l-l-looper? Weee...

Cliff

PS- Anyone know a drum machine that puts out a 5v pulse?
