Hi Guys,
I found a pedal on the net and I wondered that may I use it with my MD. Its a simple open-close switch I guess It has a 3.5 mm mono output. In my country they sale it with a name of Akita USb Drum. Its a simple machine that only uses its own voices no midi in or out , maybe in your countries they sell it in a different brand.
Regards

here is the pedal link:

Yes, you can use any switch type HH pedal and this one in particular. It just seems to me they ask too much for this crappy plastic thing - I had one a couple of years ago so I can tell.

You have to assign sane values to 'Low Level' and 'High Level' and to the Bow/Edge Half-Open/Closed,Chick, Splash for that matter.
