Next-gen Mobile Mallet Percussion Controller
The Keith McMillan-powered Pearl EM1 malletSTATION makes it possible to play your marimba, vibraphone, and xylophone parts on the same instrument, anywhere in the world. This highly portable universal USB bus-powered controller promises a revolutionary new approach to mallet percussion. Not only can you control your sound libraries from nearly any device — phone, tablet, or laptop — but you can even transpose keys to simplify difficult pieces of music. Keith McMillen Instrument's Smart Fabric Sensor technology gives the silicone pads an extremely sensitive response to soft mallets, boasting lifelike damping and even aftertouch control. The hybrid aluminum and steel chassis is built for travel, and the all-weather playing surface is great for outdoor pit percussion and ensemble performances.
Mallet percussion on the go
The EM1 is compact, lightweight, USB powered, and nearly universal, which makes it a great option for percussionists on the move.
Compatible with phones, tablets, and laptops
What Sweetwater loves about Keith McMillen Instruments is their compatibility across multiple devices. The Plug & Play, Class Compliant Pearl EM1 malletSTATION is no different, providing no-fuss support for Mac and PC laptops as well as iOS and Android tablets and phones.
Durable metal frame
You don't need your kid gloves to handle the Pearl EM1 malletSTATION. Its rugged aluminum and steel chassis is built to take the wear and tear of daily travel. Now you can practice and perform whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.
Responsive silicone keys
The EM1's soft silicone keys offer a lifelike playing experience. Velocity sensitivity puts you in control of your dynamics. Effects like mallet damping and aftertouch allow you to augment your performance.
All-weather silicone playing surface
Performing in the rain or heat is no sweat for the Pearl EM1 malletSTATION. Save your heavy mallet instruments for indoor performances and take the EM1 in their stead.
Streamlined and stand mountable
The slim, sleek EM1 malletSTATION can be played on any flat surface, dropped in a keyboard stand, or mounted to a pair of concert stands.
Three expression pedal ports
You're limited only by your sound library when you play out with the Pearl EM1. Three pedal inputs give you tactile control over parameters like sustain, expression, and MIDI parameters. Pedals not included; sold separately.
Pedal and stands not included
The Pearl EM1 is great on its own or paired with traditional percussion.
