Full Description

Make a Drum Machine Out Of Everything

The Perc Pro enables you to be able to play any percussive instrument or any surface that can be hit. Create a drum sequence that helps you effortlessly go beyond your physical capabilities. Attach the Polyend Perc to a surface, percussive instrument, acoustic drums, bottles, or anything you can find and instantly play it with MIDI pads or triggers to easily create drum patterns. This will allow songwriters and electronic music composers to enjoy the sounds of real acoustic drums in their productions, even with parts that go beyond the human's physical capability, as the Perc Pro can drum fast, very fast. There are also 3 different beaters including a wooden beater, aluminium and silicon beater that can be purchased from Polyend for different sounding beaters.

Use External Software or Hardware Sequencer

With the Perc Pro you can program drums in using a drum machine or sequencer. It features a USB and MIDI DIN output allowing you to connect your DAW, drum machine or smartphone app, and also the Perc Pro works with any MIDI transmitting device. Once you have connecting your device you can then either set up a sequence with velocity changes and speed to create your drum pattern and rhythm. Or when you have multiple beaters set up you can use your trigger pads to play the drum in real time with ease. Easily set up tempo and velocity within your DAW to give the feeling of a real drummer.

Assisting The Live Drummer

The Polyend Perc Pro is ideal for the live drummer as well as the producer or songwriter. You can use it to assist you with drumming whilst playing to create more complicated rhythms or even use it to assist you in a performance. Set up your acoustic drums as normal and then set up the Perc Pro onto some percussive instruments and let the device play alongside you to enhance your performance.

For The Producer & Songwriter

The Perc Pro is handy for the electronic music producer as well. There's no need to get a real drummer in to play your acoustic drums or percussion instruments as you can program beats in yourself with your favourite DAW. Use the Perc Pro to assist you in creating complex rhythms. Set how hard or fast it strikes and vary velocity to give a sense or a real drummer. You can also play a rhythm or pattern in real time with trigger pads from a MIDI device. Thanks to the Perc Pro, anything can be your new drum machine.
