Tama TechStar TS-204 & TS-206

[nsbhp2]

Hey, all! I just recently purchased these 2 units, and had a couple of questions in regard to using them.

1. Can I use modern trigger pads (Roland pd-9v as an example) with them?

2. I know they use 1/4" cables for connections, but are there special ones needed for this application, or can I use regular mono instrument cables?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Peace!
Scott

I know the OP will most likely never get this answer, because it's 5 years overdue, but just in case someone else stumble here with the same question:

Regular cables will do the job just fine, and any ordinary triggering appliance will also do.

Any modern pad with a phone output jack will trigger it. We use a late 90's Roland pad to trigger ours, and also a Yamaha pad off a DTX e-drum kit. Works fine. You can also use a drum machine individual audio output (like a click or claps output) to sequence it
