This caught my eye today - The new Yamaha DTX-MULTI 12 Electronic Percussion Pad.  I love products like this. This looks a little bit different in that it is split-level. It takes its sounds from the flagship Motif XS synthesizer and the DTXTREME III drum trigger module - 1,249 of them.  I want a go on this - I understand you can use sticks or hands and even your fingers.

It has 12 touch sensitive pads, you can load samples and and up to four sounds can be velocity switched or layered onto each pad  - what more do you want? Well  the unit is also equipped with a built-in sequencer, preset loops, pro-quality effects and a five-band EQ. You want more?  - how about  5 trigger inputs, plus hi-hat and foot pedal jacks for expanding the setup and finally Cubase AI 5?

It should be available in January - I want one.
