Details

The library features 108 designed drum kits, each capable of being customized with around 400 custom impulse responses. These impulses can color and shape the drum samples, adding depth and texture through various effects like vinyl noise and granular processing. The instrument supports six round-robin layers for each articulation, ensuring a realistic performance even with synthetic sounds.

Performance controls include adjustments for tuning, decay envelopes, and sample start points, allowing for precise manipulation of how convolution impulses affect each kit slot. Each of the seven kit slots is equipped with dedicated filters—lowpass, bandpass, and highpass—enabling further sound shaping. Additionally, smart randomization features facilitate the exploration of new combinations while preserving performance settings, making it a versatile tool for composers and producers alike.
