Silicon Mallet suggestions

2010-07-02 by derrick simpson

Hi all,
I'm primarily a keyboard player with a large remote midi rig.....I'd
like to enhance the sounds of mt mallet when using it exclusively. I
WANT to use my Yamaha TX816, triggering six modules as mallet voices
and the remaining two modules for sound effects and tunedsinglenote
chords.
I would also like to incorporate some drum sounds...either a drum
machine or an SDSV for breaks..I have the mallet on a custom stand
with a pedalboard to mix in the remote modules which would live in a
rack offstage.
Could you guys share some wisdom on this..I'm open to ideas before I
squire and build.
Derrick
