Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hybrid Sensory Percussion brings software-controlled sound and performance control to an acoustic drum kit. Its magnetic-field sensors read head vibration without touching the heads, supporting up to ten programmable zones on each one. Three sensors, pickup elements, the Portal audio interface, and Sunhouse software form the base system; further sensors can be added through expansion packs. The Portal combines dedicated sensor connections with mic, line, output, and ADAT optical connections for integrating the system into a broader audio setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Creating hybrid acoustic and electronic drum configurations with programmable zones on individual drums.
- Adding sound, sequence, note, chord, and effect control to acoustic drum performance.
- Preparing multiple drum setups by applying pickup elements across more than one kit.
