03In depth

Sound, Kits and Drum Styles

The plugin includes five recorded drum kits, and you can build your own kits with kit editing options. A custom FX algorithm called Slam and six character presets shape the tone, from high fidelity to a rougher rock sound. Each element of the kit has its own volume control, so you can balance the drums before adding reverb.

The library covers soft pop rock ballads through Seattle-style overdrive grunge, according to the developer's description of its range.

Workflow and Performance Controls

Drag-and-drop phrases can be moved into your DAW, and multiple audio outputs are available for routing. The performance tweaking controls let you make the drummer push or pull on the beat and play looser or more rigid. A mixer section and a master section with saturation and a maximizer complete the signal path.

The interface is built for quick use, so producers without drum programming experience can start from presets and adjust from there.
