Value For Money : Excellent
Bought used, I use it for some years, but I have problems with the value dial, which tends to skip values when turning ...

I control by sensors home made from an old acoustic drum skins modified with silent.

It can be used as a module trigger I / O (conversion of piezo sensors in the Midi) and / or a drumkit module (controlled by a sequencer prog), which is very convenient.
The settings are multiple triggers ... but we manage to find a proper setting with a little / a lot of patience ...

Charley limited to two positions open / closed, so no hint of possible game ...
No stereo input, it can be remedied by using two inputs: Example 1 bell ride and a pad connected to a stereo, but it decreases as the number of entries available.

The sounds are integrated and non-editable, I find them very good, but some are little used, as in many drumkit packs. We would like to find the place more metals and different kinds of wood ... but for the price we must not dream ...

Very good value for money, but I replaced with an IV or his successor DDrum 2BOX It Drum to have more natural sound available.
