Nice upgrade from the old Alesis Trigger iO---faster & more responsive; bailed me out!
My MegaDrum drum trigger interface suffered a MIDI-spaz freakout, and this interface has bailed me out.
I'm a former 'Alesis Trigger iO' owner, so I knew how to use this and what it could do. However, this new updated 2023 unit from DDrum is indeed better than the Alesis Trigger iO----it's faster; zero latency for me using 32GB RAM on a Lenovo T460 laptop. I think that the new microprocessor chips that they use now on most circuit boards have made huge gains in just the last 3 or 4 years. I read a few other online reviews on this unit and this thing WORKS for me 100% with Windows 10 right out of the box. A few people online have been worried about that. I use Reaper and it recognized it right away in the device list as "ddti".
Awesome
DIY triggers, mesh heads, selected the correct type of trigger, opened my DAW(with ezdrummer 2, and it worked! Didn't really mess with the settings, went from press roll to rim shot, and no false/retriggering issues. Great solution to a number of problems that drummers have with acoustic kits.
A MUST HAVE IF YOU USE ELECTRONIC DRUM SETS
Fortunately it has 10 1/4 in. TRS inputs so my DIY/roland Hybrid electronic drum set is hooked into Superior Drummer. No Mic'ing of drums or cymbals! You have it all right there. Get this if you use an electronic drum set and then get Superior Drummer or BFD3 or one of the other drum software. All you do is connect it via USB from the trigger i/o to your computer and it shows up and works. I love it. Oh and get roland TRS cables. I find those work the best. Quality is important. I have 1 snare, 1 kick, 1 crash, 1 hi-hat, 4 toms, 2 rides = totaling 10 trigger inputs which is perfect for my needs.
Awesome!!
I bought this for an electronic kit I built by coverting an acoustic kit. I couldn't find mention of this trigger interface in any of the diy edrums forums. All anyone talked about was the Alesis trigger I/O which is almost identical to this module. I'm glad I went with the ddrum over scouring eBay for an Alesis. The ddrum has all dual zone inputs so you can get a bit more capability out of it. I bought Steven Slate drums after receiving the ddrum trigger interface and now I have access to about 100 different types of drum kits right in my home studio without being loud or changing anything other than a click of a mouse.
