- I/O JACKS -
OUTPUT Jack provides the audio output from the . The – This ¼” jack SSD
output impedance varies from to k . when powering from 100Ω 25 Please note:
a battery, inserting a plug into the OUTPUT jack turns on the SSD. Remove the
plug from the OUTPUT jack to prolong battery life when not using the SSD.
EXT. TRIG Jack –Connect this jack to the output of an external trigger source.
We recommend using a ¼” TS plug/cable but a TRS plug may also be used as
long as the trigger signal is present on the tip. The input impedance is 2M .
The synthesizer triggers when it receives positive-going pulses or clock SSD
signals. The acceptable trigger amplitude rang is 3V to 15V for unipolar signals e
or +/-3V to +/- for bipolar signals. Nearly all types of gate, clock, and trigger 8V
signals that fall within these voltage ranges will trigger the SSD. Some examples
of accept trigger signals include: electronic drum trigger pads; an electronic able
pulse (as produced, for example, by the EHX Clockworks); a clock generator
(such as the EHX 8 Step Program); gate signals from synthesizers such as V-
Trigger simple clock sync signals from drum machines. ;
Please note: The SSD does not respond to MIDI. Use a MIDI to CV/Gate
converter if you wish to trigger the SSD with a MIDI device.
AUX IN Jack –This ¼” jack is the input for an external sound source. The
signal present at the AUX IN gated amplifierjack connects to the SSD’s internal .
When a plug is inserted into the AUX IN jack, oscillator the SSD’s internal
synthesizer is disconnected from the output. The input impedance is 2.2M .
Use AUX IN to gate external instruments and sound sources with the SSD’s
trigger. Each time you trigger the SSD ̶ whether you use the EXT. TRIG input or
the pushbutton ̶ the AUX IN signal will be heard at the OUTPUT jack. Use the
TIME knob to set the decay time of the AUX IN signal.
9V Power Jack Although the Super Space Drum accepts 9V Batteries, EHX –
supplies your with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power supply. Plug the SSD
output of the AC adapter into the 9V power jack located at the top of the Super
Space Drum. The drSSD aws 25 mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Please
do not exceed 12VDC on the SSD’s power jack.
- CHANGING THE BATTERY -
To change your 9V battery, remove the four screws on the bottom of the Super
Space Drum Take off the bottom plate and change the battery. Do not touch the .
circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a component.
