MT-6 6-Channel Drum Trigger to MIDI Converter

Turn your acoustic or electronic drum pads into a MIDI drum controller.

The Amiteque MT-6 is a compact, six-channel drum trigger-to-MIDI converter designed for drummers, electronic percussion enthusiasts, and musicians who want to control MIDI drum modules, synthesizers, and other MIDI-compatible equipment using external drum triggers or electronic drum pads.

Built around a straightforward, hands-on design, the MT-6 focuses on what matters most: reliable trigger detection, expressive velocity response, and simple operation without complicated menus or unnecessary features.

Key Features

Designed for Practical Drum Setups

The MT-6 provides six labeled trigger channels:
