Frequently Asked Questions
Alesis claims a revolutionary system, suggesting more precise separation between drum zones – expect noticeably cleaner recordings and improved responsiveness compared to simpler trigger designs.
While powerful, the BFD engine is demanding; a dedicated desktop or a high-end laptop with ample RAM and a good processor is recommended for optimal performance and to avoid latency.
The trigger system's compatibility with third-party components isn't explicitly stated, but it's likely to support standard trigger connections, allowing for some customization, though module firmware updates might be needed.
