Whether you’re livestreaming performances, creating shareable content, capturing ideas in a DAW, or practicing with backing tracks, this sturdy device gives you a complete workflow in a single compact system and easy adjustments right at your fingertips. Bluetooth audio playback, onboard recording, and included Ableton Live Lite software make it easy to go from performance to finished content without additional gear.

Kitstream also serves as a powerful hybrid drumming platform with 500 onboard sounds, built-in effects processing, user sample import capability, and support for external triggers and an additional external microphone input.
