The heart of every performance: the Fame Hybrid Pro XT sound module

The heart of every performance: the Fame Hybrid Pro XT sound module. This module offers an unprecedented depth of sound and flexibility. With over 500 multi-layer sounds covering all styles and 100 fully customizable kits, including 80 presets and 20 user slots, every performance is unique. The Ultra-Speed Trigger Interface guarantees lightning-fast and precise transmission of every nuance. The sound editor software opens up unlimited creative possibilities by allowing you to load your own samples directly onto the removable 32 GB memory card on the side. The open sound architecture and the included add-on packages, which contain additional cymbal, e-drum and handpan sounds, invite you to experiment and discover. With features such as in-ear monitoring, backing track player, WAV song player and metronome, playalongs and creative Loops playing are a breeze. Assigning start/stop/pause/tap functions to pads provides additional control during performance. The Fame Hybrid Pro XT sound module is more than an e-drum module - it's an extension of creative expression, without compromise.

Intuitive operation with a revised user interface

The module is operated in a simple and structured manner via five menu items(MIXERUNIT/PROGRAM/CHANNEL/SOUND/SPECIAL) with different sections. The Display is divided into six sections, which are controlled using the knob and three push buttons. In clearly structured menu items, each required parameter can be set as required, and the overall volume can be adjusted via a LEVEL control, which can be disconnected if required and then only controls the headphones, for example.

In contrast to its predecessor, the Hybrid Pro XT does not have one data control under the Display, but three. This makes operation much easier, as each parameter has its own control in the lower half.

Hybrid Pro module with remote app and tablet holder

The XT version of the Fame Hybrid Pro offers a practical tablet mounting function that is compatible with every conventional model. This is particularly useful in combination with the new remote app. This controls the module in real time via a USB connection and allows useful changes such as volume, balance, gain and function. The app has two central levels that are essential for fine-tuning the e-drum sound: Mixer and Channels. On the mixer level, you can adjust the volume of the individual channels and adjust the balance between the different sounds. In addition, the BPM of the metronome can be adjusted for the selected kit and the stored song (if available) can be started. The Channels level contains an extensive mixer. Each channel stands for a specific pad of the Hybrid Pro XT e-drum set, such as snare, Bassdrum or hi-hat. The module also has five additional perc channels, which are controlled via the rim channels of the four Toms and the snare. In addition to the volume, important parameters such as gain, attack, hold etc. can be adjusted directly and continuously. These two levels work hand in hand to enable quick and clear control of the individual e-drum sound.

Please note: The remote app will be released in the app store shortly

Please note that the Hybrid App is currently only available in an iOS version for the iPad; an Android version will follow shortly.

All inclusive: All sound add-ons from the Hybrid Pro family

Numerous add-on packages have now been released with additional sounds and samples that are already available on the Fame Hybrid Pro XT from the factory. These are authentic and modern cymbal and drum sounds that we commissioned from a professional recording studio. Renowned microphones, Preamps and converters were used to guarantee a high-quality sound experience. Of course, these are high-resolution multi-layer samples with 44.1 kHz and 24 bit, which were constructed from numerous individual samples; the hihat sounds, for example, consist of over 260 individual samples.

All sounds were recorded using the multi-mic method, six microphones were used for each file. For the Cymbal sounds, a Zildjian K' Custom Dark Set, a Meinl Pure Alloy Cymbal Set, a Sabian AAX Set, as well as some Meinl Stacks and a whole series of Meinl Byzance were sampled.

Exclusive handpan sounds and loops

The module contains authentic and relaxing handpan sounds with matching loops, which were commissioned by us in a professional recording studio. Up to ten Velocity levels (layers) per sound are available, creating an extremely realistic playing experience. In post-production, six impressive kits have been created, which stimulate creativity and offer numerous design options in combination with the modern loops. The Handpan Add-On Package contains a total of 74 loops, consisting of handpan patterns, shakers and drum sounds. There are also numerous basic drum beats and percussion patterns in different versions and sound variations. Many of the Loops are offered in three different tempos: 80 bpm, 90 bpm, 100 bpm. Fame even includes some beats in the popular 6/4 time signature.Multi-layer means that each instrument is recorded at different volume levels. This means that not only the volume but also the sound and frequency change with different beat intensities. Some of the Fame sounds consist of up to 127 individual layers.

Backing track player on board

With the sound module, playing backing tracks is child's play. Simply transfer your favorite playbacks, samples or Loops in CD quality (stereo, 16 bit/44.1 kHz) to the SD card and assign them directly to a kit. hether you want to simulate a band accompaniment or start a loop or backing track, a tap on a pad is enough to control start, stop or pause. Assigning one of these functions to a pad is child's play via the app directly on the tablet. This brings a professional dynamic to solo performances or live gigs with the band.

Metronome of the next Generation in the Hybrid Pro XT

Whether for meticulous practicing or as an indispensable companion on stage, the integrated metronome sets new standards. You can save a customized metronome for each kit, complete with your preferred time signatures, accents and sounds.

Even better, you can use it as a clever count-in that switches itself off after one or two bars. This way, the introduction remains precise without the metronome still ringing in your ears afterwards.

Realistic sound profile with professional studio sounds

In addition to the impressive multi-layer samples, the Fame Hybrid Pro XT is characterized by another feature that contributes significantly to its ultra-realistic sound profile: The sounds output vary minimally depending on velocity and playing style. This fine-tuning prevents the so-called "machine gun" effect, which gives some electronic drum sets an unnatural sound. Instead, the Hybrid Pro XT offers impressive naturalness with professional studio-quality sounds.

When a pad is struck repeatedly, a slightly different sample with a unique sound profile is played each time. This sophisticated technology clearly sets the Hybrid Pro XT apart from other sets in its price range.

For comparison: While the Fame DD-ONE XT is already impressive, the Hybrid Pro XT offers up to 100 more layers per sound for some sounds, which underlines its extraordinary depth and variety of sound.

Three-zone ride cymbal and first-class sounds on board

The cymbal pads of the Hybrid Pro XT set take the drum experience to a new level with their excellent response and a playing feel that offers the perfect rebound. The 12-inch ride pad in particular , equipped with three separate zones for bell, bow and rim, enables a multi-faceted sound design that is in no way inferior to acoustic cymbals. The crash pads, also in 12 inch, not only offer first-class sounds captured in studio quality by our development team, but also the flexibility to assign each zone individually. On board are multi-layer cymbal sounds created with cymbal sets from Meinl, Sabian and Zildjian.

Apart from the outstanding sound quality, the cymbal pads of the Fame score points with their quiet playing style, which allows you to practice at home at any time of day without disturbing your roommates or neighbors. The robust and flexible mounting of the cymbals on their holders not only guarantees safety while playing, but also easy adaptation to any individual set-up preference.

Realistic hi-hat pad on a real stand: dual-zone hi-hat with HH-9000 stand in the Hybrid Pro XT

The impressive 12-inch hi-hat pad of the Hybrid Pro XT is mounted on the professional stand Fame HH-9000, which has been popular for years for its outstanding stability and excellent running properties. Manufactured in Taiwan, the HH-9000 features three double-braced legs and large rubber feet that provide a secure stand on practically any surface. The height of the hi-hat pad can be adjusted between 78 and 100 cm for perfect playability, while the spring tension can be infinitely adjusted for optimum kick resistance control.

The functionality of the hi-hat pad in the Hybrid Pro XT simulates an acoustic Set down to the last detail: the hi-hat can be opened and closed using the foot pedal, with the sensor under the pad precisely detecting the degree of opening. This ensures a fluid playing feel that is in no way inferior to that of an acoustic drum kit. The pad itself offers two playing zones - edge and surface - and the module delivers a wide range of multi-layer sounds for a perfect studio sound.

Practical and professional: Fame E-Drum with snare stand

The Fame Hybrid Pro XT E-Drum Set offers two practical options for mounting the snare pad: In addition to the option of attaching the snare directly to the rack with a pad holder included in the scope of delivery - which enables a space-saving and practical setup of the drum kit - it is recommended for those who want to exploit the full potential of the snare pad to mount the snare on the included Fame snare stand SDS8000. This option offers a much better grip, even when playing very energetically. While there is a risk of the pad coming loose and shifting with particularly hard hits on the rack, it remains securely in position on the Fame SDS8000 snare stand.

The sensitivity and realistic response of the snare on the Fame SDS8000 snare stand are outstanding, as the pad delivers optimum performance thanks to the decoupling from the rack vibrations.
