FTB
FSR Trigger BOX
Thank you for purchasing the FTB from Alternate Mode.
The FTB is designed to power single and dual zone FSR trigger pads, e- drum
heads from Alternate Mode and Aquarian Drum heads as well as our drumKAT
HybriKIT, jamKAT mini and other FSR triggers such as the altZone and eRIM.
The FTB can power up to 12 triggers simultaneously. This eliminates the need
for individual inBOX's and batteries for each trigger pad. The FTB is powered
by a single wall wart adapter.
The output of the FTB plugs directly into your drum module's trigger inputs. It
sends out voltage (just like piezos) to the sound module. But because these
sensors are FSR, the triggering is super clean and fast. There is no need to
worry about any false triggering either because these sensors work on pressure,
not vibration.
There are 6 Stereo Inputs and Six Stereo Outputs on the FTB as well as a HD15
connector.
Connecting is EASY!
INPUT
(plugging into the FTB)
If you have a single zone FSR sensor/pad plug a Mono ¼" jack into the FTB's
inputs.
If you have a dual zone FSR sensor/pad, plug a Stereo ¼" jack into one of the
FTB inputs.
