Use Your Own Samples
Use your own hits, session recordings and favorite sample packs. Drag, preview and build the drum sound that actually fits the track.

Unlock the sound palette of your drums
One kit can sound vintage, tight, aggressive, wide or modern — Pioneer MP Trigger helps you find the right drum character in your home studio.
Plugin UI
Pioneer MP Trigger detects hits in live drum recordings and triggers your own samples, making drums sound bigger, tighter and more studio-ready. All key controls — detection, dynamics, mix and bleed control — stay within reach, without complex menus or routing-heavy workflows.

Features
Pioneer MP Trigger helps you quickly enhance or replace drums in a live recording, keep the natural feel of the performance and control mic bleed without complicated routing.
01
Use your own hits, session recordings and favorite sample packs. Drag, preview and build the drum sound that actually fits the track.
02
Your samples are automatically organized by loudness, and the velocity curve helps you shape the density, punch and character of the drums. Preserve the live performance, lift softer hits or make the part sound tighter and more powerful.
03
Pioneer MP Trigger helps preserve ghost notes, fast rolls and natural accents. Shape the dynamic response so replacement does not turn the part into a flat sequence of identical hits.
04
Shape how the part responds to soft, medium and hard hits. Velocity Curve, Leveling and Matrix Range Clamps help make drums smoother, tighter or more natural — without rebuilding the kit.
05
Instance Link lets multiple plugin instances communicate with each other, helping Pioneer MP Trigger separate real hits from bleed coming through nearby microphones.
06
Key controls stay right in front of you: detection, filtering, phase, round-robin, waveform preview, instance names and link status. Pioneer MP Trigger keeps the workflow fast and clear while still giving you the tools for precise adjustment.

Creative Triggering
Pioneer MP Trigger is not only for fixing drum recordings. It can turn physical movement into a musical part: tap sticks on a book, a desk, a practice pad or any object with a clear attack, record it with a microphone, and the plugin will follow the timing, accents, ghost notes, fast rolls and natural variations of your performance.
Instead of drawing every hit by hand, you can play the rhythm directly into the track and keep the feel of a live take, using samples that fit your production.
For the most natural playing feel, use the lowest practical latency setting in your DAW and audio interface while recording the trigger performance.
