Alesis Trigger IO Electronic Percussion Interface

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 Alesis Trigger IO 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 Alesis Trigger IO will get you up and rocking in no time.

With ten trigger inputs and its versatile MIDI out functions, the Alesis Trigger IO 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.

Alesis Trigger IO - 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.
