Captured in detail at AIR Studios' Lyndhurst Hall, this library combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary cinematic sound, making it suitable for a wide range of scoring applications.

Details

The library features a diverse array of articulations, including single hits, flams, and upbeats, with dynamic mapping across the keyboard to facilitate expressive performance. Each drum has been carefully tuned and voiced, ensuring a cohesive sound across the collection. With 20 dynamic layers and multiple beater options, the instrument allows for nuanced expression and layering possibilities.

Monolith is recorded with ten mic positions, providing flexibility in mixing and sound design. The drums were arranged in the hall to optimize their acoustic properties, enhancing their organic character. This setup allows for a rich blend of tones, from the deep resonance of larger drums to the sharp accents of smaller instruments. The library also includes alternative mappings and processed patches, expanding its usability in various musical contexts.
