I built my first dyi electronic kit from a pearl rythme traveler kit, it works great with the td-3 module. So i recently purchased a alesis I/O superior 2.0 and the metal foundry and a tascam MK 144 II for the external sound card and latency. For cymbals i have 2 roland cy-8s and 2 roland cy-6s. for the hihat im using a pd-8 pad. I gotta admit this has not been a very easy transition. I click the learn fucntion and set my first cymbal as a crash when i try to choke the cymbal i end up getting a bass drum hit and then my bass drum switches to a cymbal, I have tried many different setting and i am having absolutely NO LUCK?????? Does any one have any saved setting for there DYI kits that are coned piezzo for the head and a piezo for the rim?? I try to set up my kit and select tom 1 and hit learn then i try to set the rim following the same way and it doesnt stay to a splash ive selected, i end up having tom 1 and 2 being the same!! Im just completeyl lost here!!! Would greatly appreciate any tips someone has?? Would a PD-8 for a hi hat give me dual triggering there??? and would my roland cy-8s and cy-6s have dual triggering and choke capabilities as well????? very new to superior drummer and welcome as much help as i can possibly get!! Also any alesis i/o tips would be great too thxs
Hey I had the very same issue with my DIY ekit and the trigger IO. I thought I had wired the piezos wrong. So I took the ekit pieces to the local music shop.
I decided (after trying it with a roland drum brain) to sell the trigger IO and purchase the Roland TCM 6. Sorry this wasn’t more helpful. There are a few Trigger IO users on the forum who seem to have had success with
setting up the unit to trigger properly. Good luck and happy music making.

I have the same set up, and had the same problems. I used the learn function for the hats only and manually programmed the note number into the io, seemed to solve that problem. You need to print off a sheet that has the info on what note number triggers what drum, I actually found this faster than selecting the drum then clicking learn in Superior.
The trigger io is awesome! 20 trigger inputs!!
