• Dual-Zone Triggering
• Compact, Tone Block Style Form Factor
• Mounting Bracket Included
• Plug-and-Play for Most Drum Modules*

The Digital Sound Block v2 builds upon our previous DSB, which was so well received.  We listened to our customers and made improvements to both the electronics and the feel of the pad.

Digital Sound Block v2 Upgrades:

• Greatly improved electrical circuit that is now compatible with every major module we’ve tested on.
• Fixed an issue on some Roland modules where a longer sample would be “choked” when not intended.
• Heavier / more dense body and bracket for durability and stability.
• Updated Soft Strike pads with a better feel and much quieter stick noise.  Eliminates the “boxy/airy” noise that some customers didn’t like about the previous model.
• Minor updates to manufacturing process & methods for better product longevity.

Notes on Compatibility:

Roland:
Our previous Sound Block required some specific Roland input settings and even needing to use a splitter cable in some instances.  We are super happy to announce that our new DSB2.0 is now compatible with a variety of Roland input types and modules with excellent results!

Alesis:
We’ve had good success by making sure triggering is set to piezo/piezo, and adjusting head/rim sensitivity to your playing style.  Specifically tested on DM10, Stratus Prime, and Stratus Core, but should be common across other modules.

Yamaha:
Some changes to pad type (2P if available) and crosstalk may be required but overall shows really good compatibility.

2Box:
Digital Sound Blocks are fully compatible

eDRUMin:
This a midi controller often used when triggering VST. Our Digital Sound Blocks are fully compatible.

Simmons Titan:
No in-house testing, however, customers have given positive feedback stating that the Digital Sound Block works well with these modules.

EFNOTE:
No in-house testing.  Requires further testing on our end.  If you have an EFNOTE module and would like to work with us, please reach out!

Other Modules:
We are continuing to test and verify on other drum modules.  If your drum kit isn’t listed here and you are interested in these accessories, please reach out.  We are happy to work with you to figure out compatibility at no risk to you!

**For the nerds… We like the name Digital Sound Block, however there is nothing “digital” about it.  This is an analog drum trigger with a passive circuit for some signal conditioning.  No USB or power required.
