Yamaha TMX
An old classic drum trigger 'brain' you can pickup in the free-ad's. This unit does have on-board sounds, but will trigger any external midi drum module/machine or sampler by simply assigning the output midi notes to the required settings - channel/note-number - to trigger your preferred sound module.
I've used one of these and they work great and will allow plenty of pads to be connected. We used some assorted simmons pads & others with this unit and they worked ok.
Here's the basic spec's - the links (right-column LINKS) contains a direct link to the yamaha site to d/load the .PDF manual for this unit.
- 245 onboard voices (a bit retro/dated)
- 12 trigger inputs
- 32 performance memories
- midi in/out
- total control over midi velocity settings
- 4 audio inputs
Anyone use this?.... Please leave some user comments below...

How do I hook up the Yamaha TMX module to a Simmons SD7K? I tried just using both modules and splitting from the headphones, but this does not work. Do I need to get a MIDI cable and plug it into MIDI out on the Simmons module to MIDI in on the Yamaha module?

Biggest problem I found is lots people immediately think the sounds are too
outdated (especially if you started with the 80's-sounding synth toms/snares)
- and most wouldn't even know a thing about digital sound equipment like
this, let alone seen one as relatively 'ancient'.
I just recently bought one off ebay -blindly but it was a good price - for own
use and also to freely lend it to a church choir where I do some sound
engineering, but even the drummer more or less ignored to use it, preferring
an appalling set of non-treated acoustic drums. Therein lies the tmx's
dilemma.
Otherwise, it should be a really serious bit of kit , once properly set up either
on it's own: upto 12 pads control , etc or when accessing via MIDI even
better sound samples form other synths (acts as a sound module as well!),
etc. Will be trying it out inthe coming holiday season and hopefully can
report here.
