Title: Beatstep Pro MADE EXPLICITLY FOR Vermona DRM1???
Post by: adb3 on March 04, 2015, 11:03:48 pm

Or are there other Drum Machines that have individual gate trigger inputs, for each drum....?

I'm not knocking either piece of equipment, I'm just saying that the BSP 8 drum trigs seem very purpose specific.  Unless there are other drum machines with similar connectivity, which I haven't found.

Hi, the idea behind the gate triggers is use them where you can trigger something in a euro rack for instance via the drum module ,so if you have a drum patten drum pad 1 could trigger a piece of equipment  to play a bass line within that synths sequencer .bit like whats on the Mg modular so you can trigger the sequencer .

theres a lot of   e-drum modules (electronic soundmodules mostly used from edrums) see at  http://www.thomann.de/de/e-drum_module.html  they have all  trigger ins .. also the old nice pearl sy 1 have it and the modular ofcourse, cheers MM

And of course, the base model DRM doesn't have the triggers. Midi only.

You can connect any one of them to the gate in on any analog synth and design your drum sound on that synth.
Also, these seem fun:

Yea big thumbs for using the drum sequencer for other things apart from drums!

If you have a euro-rack modular you can use it to trigger sequencer steps, fire off events, synchronise LFO's and of course trigger envelopes, plus whatever other crazy ideas you have in your head :)

I do have a Vermona with triggers, but that is only one simple use for the BSP trigger outs. (as well as many other drum machines).

It's worth mentioning that all 3 sequencers can step outside of their original design functionality to do lots of other stuff with a modular system, depending on the modules you have.
