      Alesis Trigger I/O Percussion Pad to MIDI Interface (104205216)
Availability:  


The ultimate electronic percussion interface.

The Alesis Trigger I/O is a powerful
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.

Positioning
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.

  • Don't use with Roland pads

    As reviewed by Tim on 12/31/2009

    The Trigger I/O seems to be a decent little unit, but it is not so great with Roland pads. I read that this was a problem before I bought it, but I decided to test it since it was so cheap. The unit really does not get along well with the output from the roland pads. The velocity curves are all wrong. You can change it so all your hits are too loud, or all your hits are too soft. If you spend more time with it you can get it to the point that your soft hits are soft and your loud hits are loud, but all of your medium hits will be too loud. You just can't get it to feel right. In the end it is frustrating to play. If you have Roland pads I would just invest a little more money and get something like a TD-8 module. It seems like a sacrifice before you do it, but in hindsight, it's totally worth it.

  • Talk about Plug and Play

    As reviewed by Chris G on 6/2/2011

    My kit uses the Alesis Trigger IO with mesh heads with Ddrum acoustic triggers which plug into the Alesis Trigger IO then into the laptop where I use Reason for my sounds. The Alesis worked perfectly right out of the box. Zero setup or configuration. This thing is extremely powerful with ability to set every pad to a different midi channel and midi note. So if you already have a sequencer or other source for sounds this is the best pad to midi module on the market.
