James, Phoenix, AZ Reviewsbased on 1 reviewNice Little Piece of Kit
by Sound Dog from Vancouver, WA United States
I bought this module to trigger live drum sounds while performing with guitar and it works nicely for that. While you wouldn't want to use this is as your only drum module for an e-drum kit (its only ... read more [+]got 4 trigger inputs, and no open/close hi-hat function), or for your primary studio recording go-to box, it IS great for a supplemental module. Well, maybe if you were a synth band it would be OK for your only module.June 20, 2012 Music Background: performing and recording singer/songwriter The unit synthesizes sound using a wide range of waveforms and modifiers, so it doesn't use real drum samples. So don't expect acoustic drum sounds to sound exactly like the real thing. They "simulate" but do not "recreate." I suggest you listen to online videos of the unit being used, with headphones, to see if the sounds are right for your application. As mentioned, it works well for my application, so I am giving it 4 stars. Pros - ability to customize big range of sounds, from acoustic to synthesized - drums can be tuned real low to real high, in quarter tones (nice!) - really good steam noise sounds - long sweeping sounds (with range bends) - trigger sensitivity and range is excellent - latency is very very very low - 3 nice bright 7-segment LED displays - well built! solid! nice buttons and knobs! road-worthy! - small! compact! light! did I say road-worthy!? - MIDI in and out (mainly just note data, and program change, no CC) - kick drums are superb, even acoustic sounding ones - firmware is upgradeable (via MIDI), with 1 upgrade so far - pretty good variety of factory sounds - way more presets than you will ever need - manual is easy to follow Cons - acoustic drums don't sound REALLY real, except for kicks (although sounds are pretty convincing for a live mix - real acoustic cymbal sounds are not so hot - no hi-hat open/close ability - MONO audio out only!!!! Wah???!!! - no software editor or librarian - takes a lot of time and patience to create your own custom sounds - could use some online tutorials on creating sounds efficiently The pros outweigh the cons, for me. I'll probably hang onto this one. close [-] Also popular
