It can play nearly any percussion instrument using any mallet or drumstick. The AP-1 is the first acoustic drum machine/metronome to feature dynamics and accurate velocity response. It can be controlled via any MIDI controller or interface. The device will also playback .MIDI files and function as a standalone metronome/drum machine for practice or performance.
