>What in the world is a boss drum-pad??? The add said it had six >possibilities...... Is it really a pad or is it a DR machine???? > >It'd cost me about $40!!! Boss made the Dr Pad units which are in the above price range. I have the DRP-II and DRP-III, the difference between the units is the sounds. The DRP-II has... Bass Drum 1 Bass Drum 2 E. Tom Steel Drum Gong-S Star Chime The DRP-III has... Smashing Glass Cowbell Timbale Scratch Quijada Gong-L The units has a velocity sensitive pad with 6 knobs on the top... Sweep Time Sweep Range Decay Pitch Sens Pitch Sound (you can only select one sound at a time) On the back of the unit, you have a... 9v DC Input (audio) Output (1/4") Trig Input (1/4") Mix Input (1/4") Level (knob) Mix Sens (knob) 9v DC Output You can chain the audio signal and the 9v power thru to more than one unit so you only have to have one wall wart and you only have to tie up one of your mixer inputs. The audio signal doesn't get effected by the box infront of it in the chain though. :( Hope this helps. Later... Vince. Squishy Records
