The library includes a diverse range of sounds, such as kick drums, snare drums, hi-hats, and various metallic percussion elements, all recorded with both close and far microphone positions to capture the nuances of each piece. The intuitive GUI allows for modular mapping of articulations, enabling flexible performance options. Additionally, the library features a step-sequencing arpeggiator and a modular FX rack, providing extensive sound design capabilities.

Dynamic layering and deep round-robin variations ensure that each hit feels unique, enhancing the realism of the performance.

This makes Motor Rhythms a versatile tool for composers looking to incorporate unconventional percussion into their projects.
