Steve Weiss Music sits down with composer and percussionist Ivan Trevino, percussion faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin, to discuss how he uses the Pearl malletSTATION EM-Pro in his creative process. From composition to live performance, Ivan demonstrates the flexibility of the malletSTATION as both a modular MIDI controller and a standalone xylosynth instrument.
With expandable range options up to five octaves, the malletSTATION EM-Pro allows Ivan to seamlessly move between instruments, trigger loops, and build compositions in an intuitive and musical way. Whether he’s practicing, performing, or writing new music, the onboard sound card and versatile MIDI capabilities make the malletSTATION an essential part of his setup.
In this conversation, Ivan shares insight into his workflow, performance approach, and the many ways the malletSTATION helps bridge traditional percussion with modern music technology.
