"The Akai XE8 is an excellent sounding rackmount midi drum module with a grand total of 16 onboard sounds, slots for 2 extra sound cards each featuring another 16 sounds, 8 individual outputs plus a mix out, some excellent percussion shaping parameters including a pitch envelope, and a baffling operating system thats almost impossible to use without a manual!..
As you can see, our main modification on this machine is the addition of a single unit rackmounted patchbay which is connected to the main unit via a 25 way D-sub cable. More details of our patchbay mods can be found HERE
The patchbay has a total of 22 sockets in the main patching area and also includes 2 X Patchable switches, 2 X 3 way Patching multiples and a patchable momentary pushbutton for quick drum fills and spot effects. These extra features offer huge range of extra percussion grinding possibilities.
There is also the addition of a pitch knob that controls all of the onboard sounds simultaneously. This can take the pitch of the sounds way beyond what is possible using the tuning parameters. At its lowest setting the sounds disintegrate into a wall of digital aliasing noise and are barely even recognisable as percussion samples..."

Minimoog V-TRIG to S-TRIG converter Cinch-Jones to Minijack
via this auction
"You are bidding on a cable that lets you connect the Minimoog's Cinch-Jones type trigger input to a more standard minijack used by several manufacturers. This reverses the trigger from the Minimoog's s-trig output to a more standard v-trig output. It was built by my tech Ramcur from quality parts and Canare cable."

"This is the professionnal tolexed version, less common than the standard wooden finish version. This machine has a nice warm sound, probably due to the transistor-less design!"

Mr.AcidMachine USB MIDI to Trigger Box
via this auction
MrAcidMachine (RSS)
"handmade USB MIDI-to-Trigger box by Mr.AcidMachine!! Use it with analog drum circuits and modular synths. 20 output jacks (1/4-inch) that send 1 ms pulses at 5 volts (or higher). It is plug-n-play, no additional software needed! I have tested it with Ableton Live and the sequencing fun is endless. Takes a standard USB B type cable(not included). Powered by USB or boost the trigger voltage with a 9v~15v DC adapter (negative center like most effect pedals)."
