I have been told you can plug it straight into a PA system . So, if I put a bassdrop of my liking on an SD card, I could use this to trigger my bassdrops live?

I bought a percpad recently and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to either add/replace the sounds that are integrated into the pad, or how to use the percpad as a trigger for samples on a computer? Is a MIDI to USB cable enough? I will be using it for live concerts.

@TheJamesLangrall @dustinandbruce1 You can always just use midi and use all the bassbrops you want on your laptop,

@dustinandbruce1 No it doesn't I was wondering the same thing. For subdrops you will need a sampling pad. The Roland works best and is the most reliable. They're pretty expensive though. I think I'm just going to get this for now and use a different bass drum sound as a short sub drop. Not nearly as cool but it works

This isnt working right for triggering my bas drum using a ddrum trigger... it only works if i really pound into the head of the bass drum. Cant tell if its an issue with the pad or the trigger

I played the PercPad thru a large amp and it sounds really fantastic. Definitely worth the $100.

[daftmusician]

does that includes the bass brum?

[dustinandbruce1]

I wanna be able to add or have a bass drops so i can control them for my bands shows. Can you add sounds on here from a computer or does this have a bass drop sound on it?
