[Easily add electronic sounds to snare and tom sounds]
The RT-MicS, which combines a drum trigger and a sound module, comes preloaded with eight practical sounds. In addition to adding sounds that are effective for backbeats, such as hand claps, TR series sounds, and tambourines, you can also layer snare sounds with emphasized attacks to enhance your usual snare sound.

[You can replace the preloaded tones with your own tones using a computer]
RT-MicS can import WAV files up to 10 seconds long per type. Using the dedicated software ""RT-MicS Wave Sender"", you can import WAV files from your computer via USB, replace the preloaded tones with your own tones, and even rename the files.

[Built-in microphone for live sounds of snare and toms]
RT-MicS has a built-in microphone for picking up the live sounds of snare and toms. You can actively create your own sounds by connecting effects such as delay and reverb between the MIC OUTPUT terminal of RT-MicS and the mixer/amp.

[Equipped with two output systems]
RT-MicS is equipped with a MIC OUTPUT that outputs the built-in microphone sound, and a MIX/ELEC OUTPUT terminal that can be switched with a switch to output only electronic sounds or a mix of the built-in microphone sound and electronic sounds. The volume balance between the built-in microphone sound and the electronic sound can be easily adjusted with the dial on the side. The electronic sound can be muted by pressing and holding the button on the top of the unit.

[Compact and easy setup]
The RT-MicS is very easy to install. It can be attached and detached to snares of various hoop shapes* without using special tools. The sensitivity of the head sensor that picks up the signal to sound the electronic sound can be adjusted with the SENS dial on the side of the unit. It also supports battery operation, so you can set it up smoothly without having to deal with power cords. In addition, the ""RT-MicS Wave Sender"" can be set to trigger only when the rim is hit. You can hit the head to play an acoustic sound and the rim to play the electronic sound built into the RT-MicS.
*Wood hoops are excluded.
