EFNOTE 3B drum-kit

FEATURES - EFNOTE 3B

Das neue EFNOTE 3B bringt die bewährte Qualität des EFNOTE 3 in ein noch flexibleres Format. Mit einem größeren 12" Kick Pad und einer 12" Hi-Hat bietet es ein realistisches Spielgefühl für Einsteiger und Fortgeschrittene. Ideal für das Spielen zu Hause, im Proberaum oder bei kleinen Gigs, bleibt das EFNOTE 3B dank des bewährten Sound Moduls genauso leistungsstark und benutzerfreundlich wie sein Vorgänger.

Für den überragend naturgetreuen Sound sorgen aufwendig produzierte Multilayer Samples. Jeder der 111 Werkssound besteht aus 127 Einzelsamples, wodurch eine außergewöhnlich hohe Dynamik erreicht wird. Die Sounds sind alle editierbar, für eigene Kreationen sind 50 User-Speicher vorhanden.

Das kompakte Sound Modul hat ein stabiles Metallgehäuse und wird über ein Touch Screen LC Display bedient. Mit seinem übersichtlich strukturierten Menü ist selbst ungeübten Nutzern ein schneller Zugriff auf alle Funktionen und Einstellungen möglich. Die Sounds lassen sich stimmen (Tuning), abdämpfen (Muffling) und klangregeln (EQ). Außerdem hat man ein virtuelles Mischpult, über das sich die Sounds individuell in der Lautstärke regeln und beliebig auf die Ausgänge routen lassen.

Das integrierte Metronom und die Rhythm Box sind ideal zum Üben. Außerdem kann man Songs und Play-Alongs auch über Bluetooth ins Modul streamen. Das EFNOTE 3 Modul hat auch ein eingebautes USB Audio Interface, über das 8 Spuren digital zum Rechner übertragen werden können. Zusätzlich hat man 2 Analog-Ausgänge, das EFNOTE 3 eignet sich gleichermaßen für den Live- und den Studiobetrieb sowie für Unterrichtszwecke.

Die mit Mesh Heads bespannten Snare und Tom Pads sind unter den Spielflächen mit jeweils drei Sensoren ausgestattet. Mit dieser Multi-Trigger Technologie wird eine einmalig hohe Sensibilität und äußerst präzise Ansprache gewährleistet. Zusätzlich verfügt die Snare über eine dritte Spielfläche. Dies ermöglicht eine 100% genaue Trennung zwischen Cross Stick und Rim Shot. Ein fehlerhaftes Auslösen der Trigger ist somit absolut ausgeschlossen. Das Kick Pad ist mit 2 Triggern bestückt und damit auch ideal für den Einsatz einer Doppelfußmaschine geeignet.

Die Cymbal Pads, auch die Hi-Hat, sind 360° – also von allen Seiten bespielbar. Somit ist eine Vorrichtung, die das Verdrehen der Becken verhindert, nicht mehr notwendig. Bei den Crash und Ride Cymbals handelt es sich generell um Triple Zone Pads, bei denen sowohl der Rand, die Fläche als auch die Glocke bespielt werden können. Außerdem verfügen alle Cymbal Pads über eine Choke Funktion zum manuellen Abstoppen.

Für ein akkurates und höchst sensibles Spielverhalten sorgt letztlich das innovative Hi-Hat Pedal, welches nicht über einen gewöhnlichen Schleifkontakt seine Position erkennt, sondern mit einem optischen Sensor arbeitet. Mit einem an dem Pedal angebrachtem Gewicht wird das Hi-Hat Top Cymbal imitiert und somit ein realistisches Spielgefühl erzeugt.

About EFNOTE

EFNOTE is a brand for electronic true musical instruments based on the beliefs of:    Beauty, Quality, Originality.

- Birth Story -

Want to create more valuable musical instruments with more free designs, with insane ideas.

In 2018, skilled engineers with a 20-year career who felt the limits of product development at a major electronic musical instrument manufacturer in Japan, gathered together pursuing flexible ideas that are not tied to cost, and the non-logical attraction of musical instruments.

No matter how much technology evolves, there are parts that do not change as musical instruments.
Redefine the original value of electronic musical instruments.

- Be a true musical instrument -

Musical instruments are something that will be loved forever.
It is worth not being swept away by the times.
It has beauty, and your skills are improved as you get closer.

Nowadays, musical instruments with electronic are losing their original values because of their priority on specs and price.

A musical instrument that can be loved for a long time.
A musical instrument that can be used safely in education.
EFNOTE sticks to true musical instruments.

- Philosophy -

Beauty + Quality + Originality

Every instrument has beauty. The beauty of materials. The beauty of shape. In order to resonate the sound beautifully, in order to image a beautiful sound. Beauty in electronic musical instruments.

A musical instrument has richness. There will be fun following practice period. What is more important than the quantity of functions or sounds is the quality of the musical instrument. Quality over number.

There is no musical instrument that everyone loves. Because people have different preferences and sensibilities. Musical instruments without middle-of-the-road approach, with unique ideas and technique, with originality that does not fade away.

For the everlasting value as the first note
