ATV EXS-5

The series EXS:
The series EXS consists of three models drums high-end electronics very affordable and whose difference is in the size of the pads and the stand, but all of them based on the fabulous xD3 sound module that contains very high quality sounds of modern and classic instruments. All of these sounds are recorded in the best studies using very high-quality current equipment, all sampled with patented technology. All the sounds of these high-quality instruments are recorded without compressing and stereo. 

Main features 

• The measures the of a drum acoustics.
• The xD3 module is based on the sound engine of the already famous aD5 module. 
• The Phenocaptors of All Pads and cymbals of this series based on the technology ATV high range ATV
• Perfect for both beginners and more advanced drummers who need a drum for the study.
• Sounds of drum high resolution generated by the xD3 sound module
• High quality pads that are specifically designed to maximize your playability and expression.

The Xd3 module
This xD3 module is based on the module drum aD5 high-end and includes only 5 kits drum predefined, but the 5 are absolutely fantastic, who needs more? Even if you need something more specific you can download many sounds of drum additional high resolution from ATV Sound Store.

When ATV record the sounds of instruments in the studio, pay attention to the smallest detail; the microphone placement, the position of the drummer’s ear, ambient sound with reflections of the room, even the placement of hi hat a the left and base tom the right of the stereo; each of these aspects translates into such natural sounds that you have never heard it.

• Slot for SD/SDHC card to save backups and play WAV files
• Metronome and specific functions for practice
• 20 songs (more reproducible with SD card)
• Auxiliary entrance leg an additional pad
• Headphone output + 2 main outputs Jack 6.3 mm
• MIDI USB interface for direct connection from a Mac or PC

Hi Hat
The most complicated thing to play in one drum electronics is the balance between a sound of open and closed charles, and it is the foot that controls it subtly. Until now, conventional designs of electronic hi hats usually what they use are contact sensors that detect the pedal movement, but these designs are mechanical and have limited precision. How does it solve ATV this problem? in an innovative way, it uses an optical sensor that provides high-precision detection that is not delayed even when the hi-hat opens and closes quickly.

The cymbals
The cymbals can be played and quenched anywhere around your entire circumference, thus eliminating  the need for nothing that inhibit the natural movement of cymbal. This is something you can easily check, just place the cymbal in the stand and you'll see how it oscillates in a natural way the addresses. The innovative design of these cymbals also replicates other details, such as the the way the whole cymbal vibrates when you hit its thin and conical edge. The surface is of and not only has a great touch, but it is also very silent. All these details in the design of these cymbals creates a sensation as much as there is in the market to a cymbal acoustic.

The sounds of cymbals of the xD3 module the perfection resonance and reverb patterns captured in recordings of cymbals acoustics in high definition study. The approach ATV contrasts with the data saving of other modules, which add the artificial reverb and use synthesis techniques to repeat and attenuate parts the envelope of a recorded dry sound. To see the difference, just listen carefully to the sound of a xD3 platio and you'll see the difference. This is possible because ATV record the full decay time (commonly called “cola of the cymbal”) sound of a stereo platio without applying any compression.

Bass Drum
The pad bass drum of the series EXS with head mesh achieves a perfect balance between damping and sensitivity. If you use a double pedal, you'll have it all the stability and sensitivity that you need to touch without problems fast patterns. 

Heads of mesh
ATV uses in his pads a head two-layer mesh lasting and with a great sensitivity. These heads play the full dynamic range of everything you touch, from imperceptible ghost notes to very strong blows. This is possible thanks to its patented design with multiple sensors that completely eliminates the problem of “hot points”.

Triggers
The trigger response to the coup is the most important and critical aspect in a drum electronics. All other aspects are relegated to a background if you hit the trigger response is not perfect. For xD3, ATV has developed a new system that creates a high-speed shooting analysis and low latency, which ensures a response to the sensitivity without equal. Through this patented technology, uncompressed sounds that contain a huge amount of sound information sound at the same time as the coup. 

What else should you know?

• The xD3 module can store and recover the configuration parameters. You can't just adjust the sensitivity of each drum sensor and cymbal, but you can also remove the uncomfortable “crosstalk” and configure the rimshot to the snare drum.
• User configuration data can be stored on the xD3 itself or on an SD card.
• The metronome has a tool to visualize the time precision.
• Using the xD3 metronome functions, you can visually control the accuracy of your timing on the temp When you play with the activated metronome function, the intensity of your blows and their times are shown in the lCD display. With this tool, you can practice while analyzing your performance. The tone of the metronome, volume, bpm, the time division, plus a signal cymbal to start, you can select and adjust.
• Each of the 5 kits drum stored in xD3 (rock, pop, swing and metal). 
• It includes songs that allow you to practice and play on high quality accompaniment tracks composed of professional musicians. Using the song function, you can practice different rhythms in a variety of accompaniment tracks covering popular genres such as rock, pop, funk and jazz. By playing a song, you can also use the marker and loop functions to allow you to repeatedly practice any section the song; A great tool when you want to work in parts you need to practice to improve.
• Recording function to record and verify performances. It is important that any drummer can objectively hear that it is exactly that he has touched. For this, the xD3 includes a recording function that allows you to record your performance on a track and metronome. The recording can be configured to start automatically and simultaneously with the first hit. A very useful feature that makes you concentrate without having to do complicated operations with the buttons.
