Hey folks,
I got a lead on a Roland HD-1 kit for $60. After talking to the guy I realized the kit doesn't have a module. He tells me he just "plugs the pads into his laptop" and it works great. I have a Presonus Audiobox 44VSL interface which has MIDI inputs. I was planning on using it so I can just use samples from my cpmputer instead of the module's sounds, but I figured I would need the module to send the signal to my interface. Do the pads from this kit terminate at a MIDI plug which I can then plug into my interface to use with Addictive Drums or something like that? Will this actually work without a module? It sounds like plugging a microphone into a speaker without an amplifier and expecting sound...but I'm new to this stuff.
