Interface

Three mics on every drum

Every drum was recorded with 3 microphone positions, and the default interface is a mixer for all of them: set the pan and volume of each one, or mute it, drum by drum.

Click a drum on the picture to jump to it while you mix. Stereo and multi-output versions are included, so the kit can go straight onto separate tracks in your DAW.

Built to be played

The 14" snare is sampled with 4 different hit positions, and with 8 round robins on the snare, hihat and ride, fast repeated hits never sound like the same sample twice.

The hihat has 5 levels of openness, triggered from one key by any controller, and closes automatically. Right hand and left hand mappings make the kit playable from a keyboard.

Raw or processed

The StarDrums samples are not processed by default, so the raw version gives you the kit as it was recorded, ready for your own chain.

The Processed version has some of the best gear applied to the same samples - compression, reverbs, EQ - for a very different, finished sound.

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, how the round robins cycle, the velocity sensitivity and the amount of reverb.
