"This isn't just another electronic system with basic drum triggers sending simple on/off messages to a MIDI controller to fire one-shot samples and loops. It's much deeper—and more humanistic—than that."- Modern Drummer
Introducing Modules A new way to build sounds. Each module performs a different action on anything inside of it, and they can be nested infinitely to create complex systems of sound.
