Hardware Inputs

Hardware Inputs​

There are 12 hardware input types. Click + in the hardware inputs panel to add one: sensors are listed under Sensor inputs, and everything else under More inputs.

  • 7 sensor types: Snare, Rack Tom, Floor Tom, Kick, Ride, Crash, and Hi-hat. Sensors are the heart of the Sensory Percussion experience, so these inputs come with special controls to train the software to respond to your unique style of playing.
  • Drum Trigger: a conventional single- or dual-zone drum trigger, played as a drum with no training.
  • eKit: an electronic drum kit connected over MIDI, with its pads mapped to drums and zones.
  • Analog: an audio source, like a mic or an instrument.
  • 2 MIDI types: MIDI inputs for controlling parameters, and Pad inputs (Grid Pads in the menu) for triggering sounds from a pad controller.

Drum Trigger and eKit inputs play drums just like sensors do, so sets and instruments built for sensors work with them too. Analog and MIDI inputs are used in different ways throughout the software.
