EDrummer's Partner

Overview

EDrummer's Partner is a software solution for drummers using an electronic drum module to control a PC used as a sound source.
It is compatable with most drum modules or trigger to MIDI interfaces and most software drums synthesizers/samplers.

Hihat

EDrummer's Partner makes it possible to use a real feeling, variable hi-hat controller to control a software instrument/sampler, or any MIDI sounds modules.
It uses your external module’s foot controller, a joystick, or a low-cost DIY foot controller (see upcoming info at edrum.for.free.fr) for a variable sensing, from fully opened to closed.
Edrummer’s Partner can produce foot chicks and opening splash sounds from the foot controller only (not using corresponding MIDI notes sent by your edrum module).

Non Hihat

- Auto alternate snare hits ;
- Choke cymbals ;
- Filter and route MIDI messages ;
- ...
