Can you add additional triggers? Are there a few extra inputs?Also, can you also trigger virtual instruments via USB? For example, I have a virtual kit sounds on Cubase that I would like to use.

You can use midi to USB to hook up to your comp, then add extra triggers to the computer through other means. Am easy way is to use an old Rock Band drumset, already USB. Not great pads but good for specialty hours like cow Bell. The Roland pads are zone and velocity sensitive so you can assign multiple sounds to one. A few of the presets on the kit use this, if you hit the ride cymbal hard it triggers a splash.

No extra inputs for external triggers. You can connect this kit with a midi cable into your audio interface. I use the m-audio UNO Midi USB cable interface and it works great. I'm using Logic Pro 9, GarageBand and EZ Drummer as my pluggin

I don't think there are extra triggers/inputs. You can use it with VSTs etc but it will likely require a bit of setup. See my review for more details.

Hey, I have these drums, I'm not sure about additional triggers, you have two audio outs, one for headset and one for output good for recording on the computer through the mic input and an audio in. You also get a MIDI output, and if you have a MIDI to USB cable then you can connect the drumset to your computer and use it as a MIDI controller for your virtual kit, you just have to change some settings on the drums, I never used it this way, but the user's manual has a section dedicated to this function.

I need more detail on your problem. Are you running it with any software such as Cubase? If yes, check that your MIDI channels match. If not check sound output settings in PCs control panel.

Virtual DJ and Trakkor are more or less "plug-and-play". I would imagine its not to difficult to map other software to it http://www.adjaudio.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ItemNumber=1460&Category;=23

Not that I have found. It is definitely more of a synth/atmosphere/bass unless..you are using MIDI which you can use the novation as a great controller but as far as its built in..not so much.But I love this product 100% hope it helped! You can check out my music at soundcloud.com/thedoktor . Used the some of its abilities on some tracks.

you will need an interface to record an analog line level signal into a computer. you can hook it up usb from midi with a converter, bit you will only be communicating MIDI signals, not analog sound. That goes for most usb connections between digital keys and OS's. You can control virtual instruments using it as a midi controller but thats not what you buy this for. For example though:you could control the microkorg with another MIDI controller if you want bigger keys, and with a controller with surface control faders /knobs you can assign all functions to those as well. In summary: No it doesnt come with editing software.

The software CD that comes with the new MPD26 contains a free, limited version of Ableton Live. You can use that software to manage sampling and triggering your own samples, I have. I do find the free version pretty limiting, and if you want to do serious sampling you'll want to upgrade to a paid version of Ableton or use some other software.

This Trigger IO can't be used as a standalone. It needs either a computer with a trigger/sampling software or plugin, or a drum module of some sort. This device only takes the signal from the drum triggers and turns them into MIDI signal. Then this MIDI signal is sent either through a MIDI cable or USB cable to a receiving device (computer, drum module etc.) If you are trying to go straight from the bass drum to a PA (I'm guessing for a live performance) you have a couple options. One is to use a laptop or something similar to host your trigger software, then from there send out the live audio into your PA. I have done this with this box before and works great. Another is to get a different trigger box that also has drum samples built in. These, for the most part, are called drum modules. Same thing as the Trigger IO, but with drum sounds built in. I hope I clarified some things for you! Good luck!

These are the inputs/outputs for this kit. I don't think you can add anymore triggers. 1/4" main left and right outputs 1/8" stereo headphone output 1/8" aux input (6) TRS drum pad inputs (4) TRS cymbal pad inputs Hi-hat pedal input USB MIDI port MIDI In and MIDI out jacks Power supply input Thanks Randy

You need a MIDI compatible sound program - like Logic, GarageBand, or the like to provide a 'voice' for the unit. It's just a controller, not an instrument in it's own right.

I'm hardly a wizard but it appears that you can set (1) an instrument emulator (bass, seven string, etc) or not (2) a stomp box or not (3) an amp and (4) an effect or none. You can't stack effects/stomp boxes with just the amp.

It has Midi, I seems like it would. I haven't used it with midi yet, but if you have some time of midi connection or rack, you can probably use it to control reason. I use Ableton tho.

im assuming you already have a daw (digital audio workstation) Abelton, Cubase, Logic etc. any midi controller will work with Omnisphere or any other VST. that's what makes MIDI so cool!!

They are just midi triggers... You could probably have 6 of them hooked up at once. They do nothing until you assign the functions through your DAW

Paul, If you are asking if a raw sound file (like .wav) can be directly triggered from the pads, the answer is no. The pads can send out midi commands - so if you had the Minilab controlling some software that has, say a scream or an explosion or various sounds associated with notes on a keyboard, you could program the pads to trigger these. Hope this helps.

I use mine as a secondary controller hooked to a Fantom G6 so I have more space to split up the keys during performances, for a midi controller it's awesome, and keys have a consistent feel with the Fantom. Pete's right, though, it has no sound by itself, it has to be connected to some sort of MIDI device to be useful.

yes, use trs "insert cables" (the cables that go from a single 1/4 stereo plug to two 1/4 inch mono plugs. you'll get two triggers per input this way. I'm getting 18 triggers outa this thing. the last input is some sort of hi hat control that i can seem to figure out. I was hoping for 20... good luck

I believe each trigger has nine velocity layers. So nine levels per drum/cymbal. However I never used any of the module sounds because they are terrible. Use the midi out function and find a good software drum library. You can adjust velocity curves more accurately from an external source anyway.
