Is this possible??? I would be triggering the Alesis with a trigger pad. Then I would have a pad for every switch on the foot controller?

dont mean to be ignorant....wat is the Alesis? Also the foot controller has a sound active mode so itll chase to the drum beat!
Yea, I know about the sound activated thing, but it would be way too fast. The Alesis D4 is a drum brain. U use it to with triggers, i.e. an electronic drumkit.
You could run midi out of the D4 and into a DMX board....I tried it with my V drums and it works...sort of...
Whatcha mean sort of? I'd just be using the trigger pads in place of stepping on the foot controllers buttons, right??? Just wondering what you mean. It works or it doesn't.
It works, but with midi and a drum module, you only get as many "notes" as you have pads. With a midi keyboard for example you would have 56-72 "notes". Each note is the number of scene changes you could do. For example, if you have a five piece kit you would be able to have five scenes, but the would change really really fast between the kick and snare almost constantly triggering. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, it is the only way that I can put it...
