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 functions such as in-ear monitoring, backing track player, WAV song player and metronome, playalongs and playing to creative Loops are child's play. Assigning start/stop/pause/tap functions to pads provides additional control during performance. The Fame Hybrid Pro XT sound module is more than just an e-drum module - it's an extension of creative expression, without compromise.
A significant further development: Fame Hybrid Pro XT
The new module marks a significant advance on its predecessor and offers a number of advantages. First of all, it impresses with its robust workmanship, which promises greater durability and reliability. Instead of a single data controller, the module now has three, which makes control quick and easy. An enlarged display facilitates navigation and improves clarity, while the integration of app control ensures modern and user-friendly operation. Another significant advantage is the increased storage capacity of 32 GB compared to the previous 4 GB, together with the ability to remove an SD card from the side without having to open the device. This increases flexibility and convenience in use. Furthermore, the module offers five additional inputs for triggers and pads instead of just one, which significantly expands the connection options. Finally, six direct outs instead of the previous four enable a more comprehensive and detailed audio output, which is particularly advantageous in live and studio settings.

Intuitive operation with 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 desired, 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.
Open sound architecture with PC/MAC software editor
The unique open sound concept of the Fame Hybrid Pro XT module is a sensational solution for anyone who wants to sample their own sounds. Thanks to the conventional SD card, which can be removed from the side, samples, Loops and entire songs can be dragged onto the module, which can then be called up immediately.
All settings, such as eg. Kits, sounds, presets and triggers can be organized and arranged on the PC/MAC. Your own kits can be easily loaded with sounds and songs using the free software editor, allowing you to create a kit list to match the setlist at the concert, which can then be called up in sequence. If required, the software editor can be used to create multi-layer sounds with 127 velocity levels from your own sounds. An excellent multi-layer sound can be created from any WAV file, e.g. studio recordings of your acoustic drum set.
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.
Exclusive new sounds from in-house production
The Hybrid Pro XT comes with exclusive new sounds that originate from an elaborate sampling session of a Yamaha Recording Custom Drums in the Scherenmuseum in Solingen. The extraordinary acoustics of the room were captured by using two pairs of stereo microphones in addition to the overhead microphones and a mono microphone in front of the drum set. External reverb was also used for the metal kit, while only the natural reverb of the recorded room can be heard for all other sounds.
The available drum kits include:
Rock Dry: Direct microphones combined with overhead microphones
Rock Room: Additionally with 'Room near Stereo' for a spatial sound characteristic
Rock Stage: Extended and 'Room far Stereo' for an even more spacious sound
Raw Kit: All microphones are used, little EQ, slight harmonic distortion, use of a compressor
Studio Dry: Direct microphones and overheads, very clear and dry in sound
Modern Metal: An intense soundscape
Two snare variants are available for all kits: a deep snare and a gong tom. The metal kit also contains alternative Kick sounds. In addition to the drum kits, new Cymbal sounds have been integrated, based on a recorded Sabian AAX Studio set.

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 favourite playbacks, samples or Loops in CD quality (stereo, 16 bit/44.1 kHz) to the SD card and assign them directly to a kit. Whether 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 an impressive naturalness with professional sounds in studio quality.
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.
