sorry, I am not sure what you're question is dudie.. will have a guess:

forgetting all the dd55 stuff for a second.

i have triggers (some are dd55 pads that i removed, some are diy triggers using piezos mounted to mesh heads - as the other guys have pointed to!)

these are plugged in directly to my audio interface. no midi brain.
1 pad/drum per input.

sometimes the signal is hot so an input with gain control helps to tame things...

then i use e.g. numerous instances of the free vst ktdrumtrigger to trigger different midi notes based on the pad input.
that midi can then trigger a drum vsti...

for best velocity detection there is a latency of say 10ms - but with headphones on you can play live no problem i find.

no note moving is required once the trigger plugin is setup correctly (you choose which midi note it triggers)

- and yeh have a good old read around, nice use of an evening.
