drum triggers

[MarkPresti]

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any tips as to which drum trigger software/plugin to get. I tried tapping in a kick replacement, but it wasnt that great. At work we have a drum trigger unit, but I don't want to take it home. Can it be done using just what comes with protools or is there a free trigger plugin that is compatible with protools that can output midi to a midi instrument (sr16 or keyboard?) thanks.

I love this guy. Works great and it's very affordable. You'll need the wrapper though. These guys were trying to get Digi to let them do an RTAS version but, last I heard, weren't having any luck...

I started out (against the advice of others) with the cheap button triggers. They don't work. I then tried the ddrum redshots and they work better. I used an Alesis DM5 for the sound module. I have a friend who really likes the ddrum module and has used audio tracks to trigger it as well. But for replacing drums in an existing audio track, I got rid of the triggers and modules and bought drumagog instead. For $149 you really can't beat it. see www.drumagog.com

is there any way to trigger an SR16 with audio from protools to trigger the midi in an SR16 and bring back the audio? I may just have to find a DM5 from someone or something. Been thinking about drumagog.......is it a CPU hog or what?

Drumagog seems to be pretty well behaved. I'm able to insert on several tracks (kick, snare, 4 toms) without a problem.
