ddrum introduces the NIO Electronic Percussion Pad with the capabilities of a fully functioning electronic drum kit. With a broad surface of responsive pads, endless percussive options, and ample connectivity, the NIO is the ultimate addition to your acoustic or electronic kits. Use it for at-home practice, live performances and even studio sessions.
With the NIO Electronic Percussion Pad, you have endless options to level-up your percussive creativity. The NIO is designed with nine isolated rubber pads and comes pre-loaded with 30 preset kits, including five ddrum series kits; 20 user kits; and hundreds of built in sounds. Additionally, you have the option to utilize 512 MB of storage for loading your own sample drum kits, sounds, or loops via USB (Type-B) output.
To further broaden your creative possibilities, the NIO has two built-in trigger inputs enabling you to utilize external drum triggers or pads. Foot switch inputs allow the NIO to become a fully functional electronic kit, providing a great practice option in limited spaces or when you’re traveling.
The front panel controls on the NIO are simple and streamlined. Two dials, one on each side of the panel, allow for volume control as well as fast toggling through kits and sounds. A center digital screen shows menu options with adjacent toggle and selection buttons. Click and Record buttons allow you to practice with a metronome and save your own creations. A quarter-inch headphone output enables private practice while quarter-inch stereo outputs L/R with volume control allow you to hook up to an external speaker or PA system. Additionally, the 1/8-inch stereo Aux input allows audio in, so you can play along to your favorite tunes.
Whether used for experimenting with samples and loops or finding that perfect sound in a mix for a live performance or studio recording, the NIO Electronic Percussion Pad from ddrum delivers you a durable design, easy-to-use functionality, and professional-grade components.
