Is there a drum generator or anything of the sort? Something that allows me to create a drum loop without having to actually record my kit?

Yes there are midi drum kits with the program as well as a drum generator. If you are familiar with the midi process and how to record in midi you can create loops with any of the available kits on the program. You will also have use the piano roll in the midi edit tab of the docker to create your loops. Most of the instructions are in the PDF manual that comes with the program. There are also youtube videos on how to create midi drum loops. Hope this helps.

Only one effect at a time (if you don't include the drum thing as an effect). Effects can be manipulated using the knobs. Two different pedals can be used (but not together, just one, or the other) The ZOOM expression pedal, or the "on-off" pedal )for the drum thing). I'm sure there are better pedals (there are so many now, impossible to keep track), but the effects do sound great, and as recording interface, it works as advertised. Dig it.

You can use midi to USB to hook up to your comp, then add extra triggers to the computer through other means. Am easy way is to use an old Rock Band drumset, already USB. Not great pads but good for specialty hours like cow Bell. The Roland pads are zone and velocity sensitive so you can assign multiple sounds to one. A few of the presets on the kit use this, if you hit the ride cymbal hard it triggers a splash.

I looked up how to set one up on YouTube, and it worked just fine. I have no experience with setting up drum sets, so if I can do it, anyone can.:-)

I would listen to the sounds on a YouTube video so you can hear it for yourself. They arent the most realistic drum sounds but any percussion is fun to play to.... and it is quite easy to program.

Sorry mate, but no. To do this, you will have to do a setup like I had for a while where I used Audacity to record my mixes. Its easy, its free, and very very nice software; and it works great with VirtualDJ

Its a 20 second looper that has about 4 overdubs so you build a sound. But no, there are not seperate channels. You can build or use a single sound and then turn off the looped sound or on by a single tap if the pedal. But you could not record seperate sounds and switch between them.

Any midi controller can be used for laying out your drums with the use of a sampler and a daw. Hope this helps

Yes, but it's not really a very good interface for multitracking. It's basically EXPLICITLY for guitar. If you want to multitrack drums or something you CANNOT do that with this. There isn't enough analog I/O (unless you have a mixer with enough channels and at least 2 buses to send those channels out to Pro Tools. But if you have a drum sampler or virtual instrument, yep. Works just fine. It's a full fledged interface.

any source will work to a certain degree i have the drums from this rp155 going thru a digitech r7 guitar pedal amazing sounds can be added if you get bored with your drum sound...... like i said so i think that any input mic, other drums ect work but its whether you like whats comin out of course you would have to mic up the harmonica why dont you just go the store and see if they will let you demo it

I have an iPad Mini 2 and recorded a bunch of drum tracks recently - worked great and garage band was good software to use. It's been a great mic.

You can get a generic "thump" plugging straight in, but it's not very good. You'll need a controller to get any decent sounds. I picked up a used Yamaha DTXpress for $125. Well worth it. The variety of sounds is incredible, and you can add more triggers for other drum sounds. I wound up exchanging my KP65 for the silent pedal KU100. Very happy with it, but I'm a bass player, so I never knew a real bass drum pedal.

Direcink has modules for that; both drum and disk.They work with the DirecLinkNE controller.They ain't cheap... about $1,050 - $1,100 for the set.But, I'm going to be buying one for the 9 Ton trailer I just bought.
