What’s new for 2010
The DITI
Drum Intelligent Trigger Interface The DITI has been built from the ground up to be the simplest, most versatile trigger-to-MIDI interface available anywhere.
- Twelve stereo input jacks allow up to 12 dual zone pads or 24 independent membrane switches.
- Can also be used with continuous controller HiHat input.
- On-board microprocessor allows 1024 levels of dynamics.
- Each pad is preassigned its own channel, MIDI note number, velocity range and response curve - which can be fully “trained” for superior response.
- Features a greatly simplified control panel.
- Global instrument changes can be sent quickly via SYS EX from a PC
The new KAT Pedal Pro
Digital Response from a Traditional Feel The KAT Pedal Pro is a modified dual chain bass drum pedal - giving it the familiar feel of a traditional pedal, even though it is beater-less!
It can be used for either bass drum OR hihat! The triggering mechanism of the KAT Pedal Pro uses a FSR bumper sensor for the bass drum or hihat chick, and a linear pot sensor for continuous hihat.
The E Rim
Three zone Trigger pad that mounts directly to a traditional drum. Acoustic drummers rejoice! The E Rim trigger pad mounts directly to standard drums, creating unlimited possibilities for hybrid acoustic/electronic drum setups.
This FSR trigger pad contains independent left, right, and rim sensors for up to three different zones per pad.
