Alesis DM10, Pearl REDbox Velocity Switch Triggering

Unfortunately, the Alesis DM10, DM8 and Pearl REDbox can not have velocity on a switch zone of a piezo/switch dual zone trigger pad. This video shows that it is possible to use a piezo/switch trigger and have velocity on the switch zone. You will need to make your own trigger to make this work. It is important to note that piezo/piezo trigger must be selected in the trigger settings for this piezo/switch trigger to work. Off the shelf piezo/switch triggers will not function in this way.

added information:
I have tested this with the Alesis Trigger I/O and it works great!

Will that work with the Alesis Trigger IO? BTW, great design, man!

@logion7

I will be testing that today. I would guess it does, but I have not done a test to be sure. I will post back after the test to confirm. Thanks for your interest.

@logion7

Testing done. Yes, This works on an Alesis Trigger I/O as well. I plugged it in, and with no adjustments it worked right off the bat. I hope that helps.
