How to Hook up Roland KD-8 with ion Drum Rocker Published on 05-03-2009
" This is an instructional video on how to connect a Roland KD-8 kick trigger pad to the Ion Drum Rocker for use in Rock Band, using a Kickbox.
The Kickbox is necessary for this setup because the KD-8 does not send out the correct signal for the Ion controller to recognize as a kick drum hit for the game (it needs an ON/OFF signal). So the Kickbox translates the piezo signal from the KD-8 into an ON/OFF signal that the Ion controller will recognize.
