Drum Sampling? Sequence? IDK?

Post by RonS »

Sorry for my ignorance in this area, what equipment am i looking for?

need ability to take any length audio file (wav or mp3) that is on a jump drive and trigger it to start when i hit a pad. the track will play until finished through the PA system.


thanks

Someone else probably has a better idea, but you'll need some kind of triggering system. You could shell out a few hundred dollars to get a pre-made one, but from what I understand it's fairly easy to make your own out of pezio condensers. From there you can plug them into a drum brain or an interface/mixer of some sort and run it out of the PA.

I think that's how it works anyway ???

IMO the Roland Sampling pad will be worth the money. If you try to cut corners or bastardize some other equipment, it will just be trouble.
