Ps360 - Midi Drummer
At its core, the PS360 is a MIDI interface and trigger-to-MIDI converter designed specifically for drummers. It serves a singular, crucial purpose: it takes the physical signals generated by drum pads and cymbals and translates them into the digital MIDI language that computers and sound modules understand.
Unlike generic USB-to-MIDI cables, the PS360 is engineered to handle the specific nuances of percussion. It manages issues that standard interfaces often ignore, such as "crosstalk" (when hitting one pad accidentally triggers another), velocity sensitivity (how hard you hit), and the specific mapping required to make a physical kit sound like a realistic virtual kit.

Drumming is physical. When you hit a hard tom, the vibration travels through the rack and can vibrate the snare pad. A cheap interface will register two hits. The PS360 includes sophisticated algorithms to distinguish between a genuine stick hit and sympathetic vibration, resulting in a cleaner MIDI signal. At its core, the PS360 is a MIDI
Most MIDI drum controllers offer channel aftertouch: you press harder, all currently playing notes get louder. The Ps360 Midi Drummer offers polyphonic aftertouch on each individual pad. Imagine holding a kick drum pad down while varying the pressure on a hi-hat pad to go from closed to open. That is musically transformative. | Solution | Price | Latency | Console
