Yamaha KP65 w/ Ion IED05MKII

[nsbcraig]

I’m trying to get a Yamaha KP65 kick tower to work with my Ion set.
( it’s just the trigger to midi setup w/ no sound module )

Does anybody know what I could be missing here, I really thought just plugging it in would work.

Is not the KP65 just a piezo trigger?

I’m not getting any response out of it.

When I touch the 1/4″ male cord end it triggers the sound.

Any help would be great, thank you.

So I think I found the answer, which i’ll post to help out anybody else who’s wondering.

The KP65 is a piezo based pedal. The ied05 pedal is a switch based signal.

What is needed is a kick box or kick wire from http://rockbandkickbox.com/store/
