Interface

Default interface

A synth layer on every drum

Every acoustic drum comes with a synthesized sample alongside its three microphones, so you can push the kit from natural to electronic, element by element.

The snare has 4 different hit positions plus an auto roll script, and the hihat has 5 levels of openness, triggered from one key by any controller, with an automatic closing sound.

Mix mics and synth

The default interface is a mixer for every channel: overhead, up and down microphones plus the synth sample for each drum, each with its own pan, volume and mute.

Click a drum on the picture to jump to it, or start from one of the presets. Stereo and multi-output versions are included for mixing in your DAW.

Settings

The settings panel changes most aspects of the library. Pick a mapping preset for your e-kit or MIDI files, or remap any element to any key with MIDI Learn.

From the same panel you set the hihat controller, mono or stereo overheads, the velocity sensitivity and the amount of reverb. Right hand and left hand mappings keep it playable from a keyboard.
