ddrum4 V1.40 with mesh head trig detection algorithms

Clavia introduces V1.40 of the ddrum4 software with trig detection algorithms for mesh heads. Because of the new types of silent drumheads that are coming into the market, Clavia have upgraded the software for their ddrum4 sound module. Thanks to the new features in the ddrum4 V1.40 the use of mesh heads together with ddrum4 and Clavia's patented triggers, ddrum Acoustic Triggers or the low-cost ddrum Red Shot Triggers, allows drummers to obtain maximum playing comfort without any acoustic sound yet with a perfect digital drumsound in his/her monitor/headphones.

The new types of mesh heads transforms an acoustic drum kit into a silent practice kit. Together with the supreme ddrum Triggers and the ddrum4 sound module, the drummer will have instant access to top-quality studio recorded drum sounds. Mesh heads are available today from various manufactures. One company offers special mesh head packages. Please check www.triggerhead.com for more information.

The combination of ddrum Triggers and ddrum4 is outstanding on the market today. The drummer gets over 1000 steps of dynamics, from finger tapping sensitivity to heavy hits, fast trig response and no double triggering whatsoever. ddrum4 is market leader in acoustic triggering and the choice of professionals. The V1.40 software will strengthen the ddrum4 system even more.

The ddrum4 electronic drum system

The ddrum4 system is built around the ddrum4 sound module and can be controlled from ddrum4 Cast Precision Pads, ddrum4 Cast Cymbal and Cast Hi-hat pads and ddrum Triggers. The ddrum4 system offers the market's fastest trig response times and extremely natural dynamics, essential features when it comes to playability and feeling. The ddrum4 brains offers a large flash memory, to which you can download ddrum4 samples and your own MIDI SDS samples at any time. Clavia also offers free download of top-quality ddrum4 samples from their constantly growing sound library at www.clavia.se.
