The Alesis Trigger I/O is a powerful new
electronic percussion interface designed to bridge the gap between the
ultimate control and feel of a real drum performance and the extensive
capability of software and hardware sound modules. The Trigger I/O
converts playing from your favorite percussion interface, whether
electronic drum pads or acoustic drum triggers, into MIDI note
messages. Featuring both MIDI out and USB connectivity, the Trigger I/O
can be used to play sounds on synths, drum modules, or on your computer
– straight from your drumkit. Bundled with FXPansion’s BFD Lite – a
professional software drum module with high-quality acoustic and
electronic drum kit libraries - the Trigger I/O will get you up and
rocking in no time.
With ten trigger inputs and its versatile MIDI
out functions, the Trigger I/O is the perfect interface for musicians
who want to expand the scope of their current equipment to include
control over computers, samplers, synths, or other MIDI modules. Its
intuitive interface and 20 programmable presets allow for easy setup
and quick user operation. Plus, the bundled FXPansion BFD Lite software
provides an additional source of creative material.
Applications:
The Trigger I/O can be used by any
percussionist at any level in their home, studio, or during a live
performance to control various software and hardware sound modules, all
while maintaining the feel of a real percussion performance.
Additionally, the mounting holes for an optional drum stand mount make
the Trigger I/O adaptable to any environment.
