I currently have an Alesis DM5. I was using that for a while with my Hart Prodigy eKit to play EZdrummer. Worked well for what I was doing. Lately I haven’t had space to keep the eKit setup, so it’s in the garage.
But come Spring, I’m going to set it up again. I don’t use any of the sounds in the DM5. I simply use it as a trigger machine to pass MIDI on to Pro Tools and EZD. I’d like to see it and get a Trigger I/O instead. With the current used market, I can probably come out of the deal with $50 in my pocket. That goes toward the JAZZ EZX.
So… anyone know much about the Alesis Trigger I/O? I was reading it’s trigging/midi capabilities might actually be better than the DM5, as it’s a more recent piece of gear.
I will also at some point be getting Superior 2.0 (just haven’t gotten around to it yet), and I’ll be using this Trigger I/O with my Hart eKit for that too.
In a nutshell, I’m looking for the cheapest way to bridge my eDrums into Pro Tools. The Trigger I/O looks like it’s the ticket.
let me know! Thanks!
