Pearl malletSTATION EM1 and Sampletank for Beginners Video 1/3

A very basic, informal lesson on how to use the Pearl malletSTATION EM1 and Sampletank for iOS (iPad). Video 2/3, this video focuses upon the hardware and equipment purchases needed for a highly portable, low-budget gigging rig. It is expressly for those who, like myself, are beginners in the world of electronic music and midi and are "just trying to get this thing to work." Please leave comments and suggestions below!

Thank you for making this video! I had the same questions when thinking about purchasing the malletstation.

I have notice that wth hitting my EM1 pads/bars wth no matter how mellow of a mallet, everytime I strike a key it makes such a thumping sound that drives me nuts, and it cannot be my Stand I do not believe as I have the very best poss. If anyone here has the same issue, can you tell me what you use to quiet the racket? If anyone here has a Malletkat, can you tell me if there is any differ?

Have you use the thumbjam app ?

[@genesismata1131]

What is the app for this?

[@juana.velazquez9286]

If you use the knock marimba, how you use the sustain pedal? I was unable to sustain with the pedal. Thanks

[@willdrum1]

No sustain on a marimba! (other than the natural sustain sound).

Can you recommend and amplifier/powered speaker to add to the EM1?

[@amandasycamore4164]

I already owned a Roland v drums amp for my son’s kit and use with my El Cajon processor, and it works perfectly. It’s already engineered for full range of percussion instrument sounds and the wedge design makes it perfect for directing sound at me and out of the pit. Lol. A nice keyboard amp will do the trick as well.

Hi where you got the moody marimba sound? Thanks

[@juana.velazquez9286]

I found it.
