Winter NAMM is coming and Alternate Mode (K.A.T.) is showing their new product line-up before the big convention. The DITI is a new full featured TMI (Trigger Midi Interface). This will be the most robust TMI on the market once it starts shipping.  Preliminary information is pointing at a price between $200-300 (more to come on this later). The following specs are from Alternate Mode’s website:

  • Twelve stereo input jacks allow up to 12 dual zone pads or 24 independent membrane switches.
  • Can also be used with continuous controller HiHat input.
  • On-board microprocessor allows 1024 levels of dynamics.
  • Each pad is preassigned its own channel, MIDID note number, velocity range and response curve – which can be fully “trained” for superior response.
  • Features a greatly simplified control panel.
  • Global instrument changes can be sent quickly via SYS EX from a PC
