DISC Alesis Trigger iO Trigger-to-MIDI/USB Interface

Full Description

Featuring both USB-MIDI and traditional DIN MIDI connectivity, you can use the Trigger iO with a wide variety of gear. The interface has ten TRS trigger inputs so you can use it with single or dual-zone pads and triggers, and even split the inputs with Y-cables for even larger custom setups. You can also use the Trigger iO to expand the pad inputs of virtually and drum module from any manufacturer.

The Trigger iO has a hi-hat control input that works with both continuous and switch-style hi-hat pedals so you can deliver all of the open-to-closed detail you're used to on the hi-hat. It also has a footswitch input for controlling other parameters like changing kits with your foot.

You can create up to 20 setups and store them in the Trigger iO's memory. Advanced customizable programming capabilities include sensitivity, MIDI-channel assignment, note number, crosstalk, velocity curve, threshold, retrigger time and pad type. The Trigger iO works plug-and-play with Mac and PC, and is powered by its USB connection when working with a computer. You can also wall-power it when working with non-USB MIDI sound sources.

You can mount the Trigger iO on virtually stand or rack using the optional E-Percussion Module Mount and integrate it cleanly into your drum set or percussion setup. The Trigger iO comes with Toontrack's EZdrummer LITE software drum module. EZdrummer LITE has samples of real drum kits, a virtual mixer, and looping functions.

The Trigger iO is an extremely versatile interface, enabling you to play virtually any MIDI software or hardware with your electronic drum kit.
