1. Before turning on the Trigger IO, connect all triggers, pads, footswitches, MIDI devices and external modules as
shown above. If you would like to use the Trigger IO with a computer, connect a USB cord from the Trigger IO
to your computer's USB port.
2. Connect a power source to the Trigger IO. You have two options for powering the Trigger IO:
a. Connect the Trigger IO to a computer's USB port – the computer's USB bus will provide power.
b. Connect an optional 9V AC power adapter to the Trigger IO.
3. Use the power switch on the rear panel of the Trigger IO to turn it on.
Important: Please use the appropriate cables to connect your triggers to the Trigger IO. For single zone
triggers, please use TS cables to connect them to the Trigger IO. If using dual-zone triggers, please make sure
that you are using TRS cables. Using TS cables to connect dual-zone triggers to the Trigger IO will only allow
you to use the primary zone (tip) of the drum.
COMPUTER INSTALLATION
The Trigger IO is a Plug-and-Play device under Mac OS X and Windows XP so there is no driver or special software
installation required. The Trigger IO will automatically be recognized once it is plugged into your computer's USB
port.
To use the Trigger IO with a software application, you will need to select and enable the Trigger IO as a MIDI input
device in your software's preferences. Please consult your software's documentation for information on selecting and
enabling MIDI input devices.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the Trigger IO is connected and powered before starting any software
applications with which you intend to use the Trigger IO. Otherwise, the software program will not recognize the
Trigger IO as being connected.
ABOUT AUDIO LATENCY: If you experience a significant delay when you trigger sounds in your software, you will
need to adjust your latency (or buffer) settings to smaller values. These adjustments are often made in your
software's Preferences menu. In addition, you may wish to download a free ASIO sound driver from the Internet,
such as the ASIO4ALL driver which can be found at www.asio4all.com. These drivers typically improve audio
performance and allow for the use of small buffer sizes.
