This Trigger IO can't be used as a standalone. It needs either a computer with a trigger/sampling software or plugin, or a drum module of some sort. This device only takes the signal from the drum triggers and turns them into MIDI signal. Then this MIDI signal is sent either through a MIDI cable or USB cable to a receiving device (computer, drum module etc.) If you are trying to go straight from the bass drum to a PA (I'm guessing for a live performance) you have a couple options. One is to use a laptop or something similar to host your trigger software, then from there send out the live audio into your PA. I have done this with this box before and works great. Another is to get a different trigger box that also has drum samples built in. These, for the most part, are called drum modules. Same thing as the Trigger IO, but with drum sounds built in. I hope I clarified some things for you! Good luck!

The Alesis I/O has no sounds or samples. It is an interface that transmits the drum hits and velocity into a PC or other source that provides the sound samples.

not sure about what drums you have , my set has an input on the the drum "brain" that accepts an input from mp3,etc.

I think that the inputs are input only..... and I also believe that the outputs are all powered outs... been awhile since I had that amp... good luck to you... you need to split the input signal at source say the mixer board or such...

This was a gift for my husband. Posed the question to my husband. Unfortunately he doesn't know. He suggests you contact the manufacturer. Or perhaps a midi cintroller will do the trick. BUT he emphasizes he isn't an expert. Have you tried an on line forum?

You can get a midi to usb cable to do the trick. I have a TASCAM unit that I run my keyboard and mic thru though, because my mic needs phantom power. It came with the cable needed to connect to the PC. The biggest difference would be the price and what, if any other needs you may have.

You said you have a "ART DJ Phono pre-amp". Does it have a headphone output? if yes, put this headphone amp between the DJ Phono pre-amp and the headphones.What are you plugging the headphones into now? Take the output of that run into this little-Dot and plug you headphones into the Little-Dot.

Yes, you can use this to trigger anything that receives a USB Midi signal. Literally anything that is a Midi Mappable trigger or on/off setup. So if you wanted to you could set each switch to a different 808 Drum, 1 for Kick, 2nd for clap, and 3rd for hi-hat... If you so desire.

this is a midi controller, you have to plug it into a computer and run the software to get it to make sound.

I bought a MIDI to USB connector, but I could never get it to actually connect to my computer. Also, it only has an output, not an input.

The MS-20 mini can ONLY respond to MIDI note on/off. No velocity, etc. Their is NO midi out, only midi in.

I use my dd65 for sequencing on my computer using Cubase Elements 7. To do this you would need a midi to usb adapter which was part of the package I bought with Cubase. You can use any midi to usb adapter and any DAW software. If you wish to record the audio output of the dd65 simply plug the same output that you used with your mp3 player and plug into the audio in jacks on your computer. You can use the same output to plug into any amplifier or mixing console. If you need more info, go to yamaha's website and download the owner's manual. It will give a wealth of information on hookup and uses. Also gives a complete listing of all the drum and percussion sounds available on the dd65. Good Luck!

You need a MIDI compatible sound program - like Logic, GarageBand, or the like to provide a 'voice' for the unit. It's just a controller, not an instrument in it's own right.

You have to properly set up the output audio device on the DAW program you are using.

This a Midi controller. This is designed specifically for computer use and will only work when connected to a DAW. I currently use FL Studio with it right now. It is great but my only problem is when I plug it in and activate it with my DAW the pads are not correspondent with the pad on the computer. I have to resync it everytime I open up the plugin. Other than that particular problem the AKAI MPD18 is fine. You have to record the sounds live by using the recorder while the metronome is playing usually, unless you're just that good that you can consistently crank out the exact same bpm every time

I don't know why there would be no sound? I plug the outputs of the drum machine into two input channels of my recording board and it works just fine. Perhaps the drum machine isn't working?

I bought mine for use with my acoustic drums and then triggered them. I love the control of the sound for practicing and playing.

It has one extra input for expansion. I added an additional cymbal and boom arm. Just assign what you want the trigger to do i.e. cymbal, kick, snare or whatever sound you want from the module.
