Chris, thanx for the info and vids!
Guys, from the Info I got from (Jman at vdrum was at Namm), it appears the module show at Namm was 512mb, but talking to go to 4 gig, also the sample per pad is limited to 8 velocity switch with round robbin of sorts thing going to prevent machine gunning and told this Module would probably sound better then all actual Edrum on the market outside that not using VST. Also NSPIRE is completely different and not just as far as the plug type, as far as the voltages for the different zones not matching up to other brand, and even the Hi Hat controller would be proprietary. It's all their own pad and cymbal process, so DYI and using others, would be almost impossible.
As a long-time BFD customer this could be the kit of my dreams
. I think we'll have to wait until we could see and hear the end product in action.
8 velocity switch levels sounds good against most other e-kits, but afaik the 2box can have much more (i believe up to 100, where BFD2/3 expansions are capable of more than 120 on a comp, i.e. for a snare). I think you can hear this a bit when John plays the snare in the second video, no complex variations. But 4GB internal RAM sounds reasonable for a life gig with 16bit 44,1 KHz and 8 layers.
So the Data slot on the module is for importing the BFD sound exports from an USB stick. What is the "Computer" port for?? MIDI? Audio?
I'm still a bit critical and disappointed with the "open architecture" marketing speech. It's BFD only, it's proprietary hardware - what in hell is "open" on that? You could even call the DM10 "open architecture" because we could load a single, lonely sound pack named "BluJay"
