(Although I admit that once the MIDI info is in there I'd probably output the info back to the samples that come with the Mandala) silly question . . . apart from the awesome sounding samples it comes with, can you use it as an MIDI input for cubase/logic etc to create realistic sounding drum grooves. i.e. MIDI input rather than audio input.

Different zones give the device extra expression, packed into a compact area. And the manufacturers know something about controller design, having worked on the D-Beam IR controller for Roland (among other things). Check comments on our last post: the combination of the finely-detailed zones, smart MIDI configuration, and quality pads have made people fall in love with playing this thing.

That's my favorite thing about it. It knows which ring I am hitting down to the freakin' millimeter and can change its sound ever so slightly for each ring on some of the cooler presets. As I play and move my sticks from the center to the edge it sounds like I'm working a controller pedal putting out wah or pitchbend or even bringing in reverb or delay sometimes. This thing rules!

Very cool, very sensitive and the MIDI implementation will be very versatily. "I'm excited"! expect to have some recordings done very quickly. But I agree, I really could do with 2 or 3 of these...
