10v gate triggers need to be scaled down to <3.3v so as not to damage the Tsunami board. I'll be using a transistor as a basic gate controlled switch with the pull-ups enabled on the Tsunami. This means that IF gate = 10v @ base of 2n222 xtror, then the current is enabled to flow between Tsunami pin to ground, which will result in a trigger to the drum sampler features. Each drum trigger gate will require a separate xtor circuit to protect the Tsunami board.

PCB design. Here I've simply duplicated the schematic x 16 trigger junctions.

PCB circuit trace. The same can be achieved using only 1 x 47k resistor on the gate input to the base of the transistor. So I'll be leaving the extra two resistor terminals unpopulated.

for all those triggers. I'll use jumper wires between the Tsunami board and on all these 16 sets of standoffs x4.
