Midi Expression Compatibility with Elektron Digitone

Post by Falcon »

Hi, and thanks in advance for reading and possibly providing the question's answer.

I'm wondering whether the MIDI Expression (single) module can connect a kick pedal trigger directly into an Elektron Digitone. The Digitone has a usb port for MIDI as well as a MIDI port accepting MIDI in. As far as I've read, the Digitone is a USB "device" rather than a "host", and it is class compliant as well. I am also wondering whether, with this all in mind, the module will receive the requisite power via the Digitone's USB.

Cheers,
Falcon

MIDI Expression devices are not compatible with piezo based trigger pedals. I suggest an eDRUMin, which is designed for piezos. The ED4 has a MIDI out port that you could connect to the MIDI in on the Digitone.
