Acoustic Drum Machine<\/em><\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sounds acoustic, but is played via MIDI: up to twelve solenoids strike wood, metal and glass.<\/p>\n\t\t

What is it?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Real strokes, digitally controlled.<\/em><\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

The drum machine listens to MIDI \u2013 from a keyboard or straight from the computer. Every note makes a solenoid strike: on wooden drums, metal parts or glass.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That way any beat can be programmed or played live \u2013 velocity-sensitive and with no noticeable delay. That makes it sound natural and rich in detail.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

MIDI in<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Keyboard, pad controller or DAW on the computer \u2013 every note triggers a stroke.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

12 solenoids<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Up to twelve solenoids, each with its own resonating body: wooden drums, metal parts, glass, cymbals.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Velocity<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Velocity is passed along too: soft notes tap, loud ones really hit.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Playable live<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Hardly any latency \u2013 you can play the machine like an instrument, not just program it.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Control<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

At its heart is the automat<\/a>controller by dadamachines<\/a>: MIDI in, twelve outputs for the solenoids out.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
