Pearl Drums - EPro Live

ePro Live set

Features

e-Pro Live is a revolutionary electronic drumset that looks, feels and sounds like real drums. Never before has today's drummer been offered the limitless sonic capability and realistic feel of electronic drums on a drumset built with real drum shells, real brass cymbals, and real drumset hardware, all from the percussion industry's leader, Pearl.

The real look of the e-Pro Live starts with the real sizes of the drums. The set features 10", 12" and 14" toms, a 14" snare drum, and a 20" bass drum, so the drummer no longer has to change their playing mechanics to adjust to a set full of 8" practice pads.

The next component contributing to the real look of the drums is the real wood shells. Authentic Pearl shells, drum hardware and drum finishes adorn both versions of e-Pro Live. Two finishes are available: Pearl's new Artisan II finish, available in a beautiful Quilted Maple fade, and a durable black wrap.

The r.e.d.box module

Module

All of these great components couldn't reach their full potential without rich drum and percussion sounds generated from the r.e.d.box drum module (r.e.d. stands for Real Electronic Drums). The r.e.d.box massive 128MB RAM capacity accommodates 1000 High Definition Sounds, 100 High Definition kits, plus space for 100 user-created kits.

One very unique and exciting capability of Pearl's r.e.d.box is the Memory Switch, which gives you the ability to flash the memory and substitute a lush, super high-end drum set for the original acoustics. Pearl has partnered with professional digital drum samplers Toontrack, Zildjian, and Steven Slate Drums, to provide the lush kits through a new website,

www.redboxsoundshop.com.

How much memory is in the REDBOX?

128 Megabytes of RAM
How many kits & sounds are in the REDBOX?

1,000 High Definition Sounds, 100 High-Def kits, and 100 User Programmable Kits
What is the size / format of a flashed kit?

The "flashable" kits will utilize up to 127MB of the REDBOX's RAM.
Is this General Midi?

General Midi isn't recognized on Trasmit/Export. Partially on Recognize/Import. GM Drum Sounds compatitable.
Are the sounds sampled Pearl kits and will there be any in the future?

Yes, some of the sounds are Pearl drums and check www.redboxsoundshop.com for updates.
Can I easily assign multi-effects to the direct outs?

Yes, there are many effects, including reverb, flanger, chorus, vibrato, delay, EQ, and compression that can be applied. One effect per "Kit" can be used.
Why are my rim sounds at one volume no matter how lightly or hard I hit them?

This is because the rim trigger is an ON/OFF switch and it doesn't have any dynamics.
When I hit one pad another pad will play too. How do I correct this?

The Cross Talk control in the Trigger Menu section allows you to set the value to eliminate cross talk. The higher the value, the less likely one pad will trigger another.
When someone nearby stomps on the floor, my pads trigger. How do I correct this?

Increase the value of the Threshold control until the false triggering is eliminated.
I'm not getting a full range of dynamics from my pads. How do I correct this?

You may have the sensitivity set too high. Try lowering the sensitivity and the threshold and see if the dynamic range improves.
I'm getting double-hits on the rim of my snare drum. How do I correct this?

The switch trigger in the rim is very sensitive and can be triggered accidently by hits just glancing the rim. Please adjust your technique or lower your drum to minimize hitting the rim accidentally.
Can I get cross stick and rimshot on the rim of my snare drum at the same time?

No. The switch triggers we us in our rims cannot be programmed to be rimshot and cross stick at the same time. It can, however, be one or the other.
My pads are not picking up everything I play. How do I correct this?

Try the Retrigger Control. Lowering the setting allows the REDBOX to capture minute and closer-spaced playing such as buzz rolls.
Even when I play evenly, the sound varies. Why is this?

The REDBOX uses a "Round Robin" protocol that automatically changes the samples being played to eliminate the "machine gun" effect
How do you save the user defined kits?

Use SysEx Libraian for Mac and MidiOX for PC. See the Support tab at www.redboxsoundshop.com for detailed instructions.
Can you save the volume from your faders?

No.

How do I set-up my r.e.d.BOX to accept a Flash kit I purchased from redboxsoundshop.com?

Are all of the cymbals chokable?

Can I mimic a remote hi-hat with another hi-hat pad?

No, there's only one foot hi-hat controller input.
How many cymbals can I add to this?

Assuming you are using all the inputs of a stock e-Pro Live kit, you can add two more cymbals.
