Import Your Own Samples into the Roland RT-MicS Hybrid Drum Module The free RT-MicS Wave Sender app allows you to import your own custom samples into the RT-MicS using your mobile device. This opens up all sorts of creative possibilities, such as layering original sounds from studio recordings with an acoustic snare or tom, mixing in sound effects, or triggering complementary percussion sounds like tambourine by striking a drum (no mic needed). After connecting your device to the module, simply open the app, import samples stored locally or on iCloud Drive, and then assign them to be triggered normally or only when you hit the rim. Up to eight different samples can be stored in the onboard memory of the RT-MicS, and you can easily select them directly on the module during a gig. Features : - Transfer original samples to the RT-MicS - Assign and rename sounds as you like - Rim Only trigger mode setting allows you to trigger sounds via a rim shot only if desired - Compatible formats: WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless
