DSP Trigger is a miniature VST drum brain that processes the audio output from drum pads and converts it to MIDI without the need of a hardware drum brain. It supports both single and dual zone pads and cymbals and can output up to four separate articulations. DSP Trigger can be used as a way to upgrade your existing e-drum kit, or as the foundation for a complete VST based drum brain.

Features
Advanced Transient Detection
DSP Trigger"s innovative and intelligent input section gives you the tools to obtain optimum transient detection. With its detailed visual feedback and powerful controls, getting DSP Trigger to perform is a breeze.

Whether you let the auto-calibration control do all the work or get your hands dirty with the manual controls, DSP Trigger"s advanced input section ensures that every drum pad will enjoy fast, accurate and dynamic triggering.

Velocity Curve Shaping
VSTi drum samplers have revolutionized the e-drumming world by providing users with unprecedented detail and level of control. DSP continues the revolution by bringing that same level of control to the production of MIDI. It gives you controls to adjust the minimum and maximum velocities and well as the shape of the curve moving from the min to the max. DSP Trigger"s easy to use and powerful velocity curve controls allow you to quickly and easily adjust the responsiveness and feel of your pads.

Positional Sensing
You don"t need a high-end module nor a high-end drum pad to get positional sensing anymore. With its advanced software based position detection system, DSP Trigger is able to extract positional information from just about any mesh pad. With its cutting edge positional detection, even the ubiquitous Roland PD8-X which is described as "not capable of positional sensing" becomes endowed with this functionality that is reserved for only the highest of high-end modules.

Drum Replacement
While originally designed to be a VST drum brain, the evolution of DSP Trigger has made it an invaluable tool for drum replacement professionals. With its state of the art transient detection and release algorithms, even the fastest of rolls are accurately and faithfully captured with all the dynamics and subtleties of the original source.

Furthermore, with its advanced crosstalk cancellation controls, bleed from other kit pieces is filtered out and prevented from causing false triggers. Have a look in the video section to see a video of DSP Trigger detecting side-stick articulations in a snare track that is littered with bleed from a kick drum and hi-hat.

Auto MIDI Routing
Whether you"re using DSP Trigger to trigger multiple drum pads or using it to replace multiple drum tracks, you"ll definitely appreciate DSP Trigger"s auto MIDI routing. This feature lumps together all the MIDI from multiple instances and outputs it by a single instance of the plugin so you"ll only ever need to route the MIDI from a single instance.

Easy on your CPU
DSP Trigger"s advanced transient detection makes efficient use of system resources. This means that you"ll have no problem running one or multiple instances at extremely low latencies.
