Kenton Pro-KADI Mk2 Versatile MIDI Trigger Unit + WASP Cable

Bring vintage drum machines and analogue instruments into your modern MIDI setup with the Kenton PRO-KADI MKII. Designed for seamless integration with classic Roland drum machines and iconic analogue synths, this powerful MIDI trigger interface allows you to control legacy hardware from MIDI keyboards, sequencers, DAWs and drum machines.

Ideal for producers, electronic musicians, synthesiser enthusiasts and studio owners, the PRO-KADI MKII provides a cost-effective alternative to internal retrofits while delivering reliable MIDI-to-trigger conversion for a wide range of vintage equipment. Compatible with classics including the Roland TR-808, TR-606, CR-78, CR-8000, EDP Wasp and Gnat, the unit offers extensive routing and triggering capabilities with support for up to 13 outputs.

Beyond music production, the PRO-KADI MKII can also be utilised for custom MIDI control applications such as lighting systems, automation projects, robotics and theatrical effects. Please note that most compatible drum machines require a small modification or Kenton socket upgrade to operate with this interface.

Please note: Signal leads are sold separately, and users should select the correct version for their specific instrument model. Power adapters are supplied according to the destination country (UK, EU, USA or Australia).
