Sound Sources and Rhythm Engine

The library draws on more than 3,500 organic sound sources. Sounds can be selected by source type, and a User section lets you add your own recordings.

Three sequencers, each linked to an independent sound slot, generate the rhythms. One sequencer lays out the initial pattern while another shakes it up over time. A Density option fills silent steps with hits at varying velocities, and it can be tied to the mod wheel to move between minimal and complex patterns.

Presets and Workflow for Cinematic and Experimental Music

Fragments - Modern Percussion includes more than 100 cinematic and experimental presets as starting points. Sonuscore describes the instrument as suited to cinematic, ambient and experimental contexts.

MIDI control of the Tone and Density parameters can be set up with minimum and maximum limits to tighten the design. Sequencer time signatures can also be varied to add complexity to a pattern.
