Triggering samples

[jamiesonk666]

Our drummer wants to trigger samples etc. Does any one have any good ideas. I know it will require a trigger pad and some sort of brain. I know its a drummer question but I've gone down the road of samplers and footpedals to no avail.Please help.

I had the same problem recently -- the only options I could find were a small sampler, like the Akai MPC-500 or Roland SP-404SX, linked to a drum trigger pad.

Otherwise, get the keys man to trigger them, if you have one. That was what we went for after our keyboardist bought a fancy new, er, keyboard.

Cheers

Check out the Roland SPD-S. I work with a couple of guys that use them.

Classic.


On a serious note, there's many midi drum pads available that can be linked to a cheap/dear sampler.

Midi drum pads into a laptop running a sampler?

[jamiesonk666]

Nice one. Can samples be loaded into it (card etc) or does it need an external sequencer to playback samples on?//
