Inside
the box, there is a great selection of high-quality voices that you can
use to build 20 custom kits for when you want to think "outside the
box". There are lots of acoustic drums to choose from, as well as
percussion instruments from around the world. You will also find some
killer special effects voices that take away any limits on your
creativity.
22 keyboard voices
The DXPRESS IV module
has 22 keyboard voices that you can trigger from the pads. This allows
you to trigger melodic patterns or program melodic loops into the
on-board sequencer that you can use as part of your live performance.
Great feeling pads
The
pads on the DXPRESS IV have natural rebound and great dynamic response
so you will be able to get express all of your musical ideas. The
standard kit has 3 toms, a 3-zone snare, two 3-zone round cymbal pads,
a hi hat pad, kick tower and a hi hat controller. When you want to
expand, you can split the tom and kick inputs to add more pads.
On-board sequencer
The
DXPRESS IV has a built in sequencer that allows you to record your
performance in real time. There are 44 prerecorded full-length songs
and 19 pad songs to play along with, and 20 user songs that you can use
to record your own loops, songs or patterns. You can mute the drum part
so that you can play without a drum track, or you can also mute the
rhythm track to play along with only a bass line. You can assign any of
these songs to any pad in the kit, and then start or stop the song by
hitting the pad. To give you even more musical choices, you can plug
your CD or MP3 player into the AUX IN of the module and play along with
your favorite music.
Programmable click
The module has
a programmable metronome that can play subdivisions of quarter, eighth,
sixteenth, or triplets. You can control the volume of each subdivision
to give the patterns a different feel. The metronome has 30 user
patterns that you can save so you can recall patterns that you use
frequently for teaching or practice. The click also has a feature we
call Rhythm Gate that will mute the drum voices if you are out of time
with the click.
