Slammer: Multi-Sampled Drum Instrument by Klevgrand Free Download

Each of the 12 sound slots can be set up with its own sample and individual controls for gain, pan, pitch, decay and transient impact. A velocity curve controls how each instrument responds to playing dynamics.

The Dirt section adds compression and distortion, with eight different distortion algorithms. Its amount can be set separately for each instrument. Klevgrand says the built-in reverb, which comes with several presets, and the simple tone control act as a finishing stage for the kit.

The developer describes the range as covering light, slick sounds through to heavy, gritty ones.

Slammer is aimed at producers who want a playable drum kit without building one from scratch. The 30 instruments give a broad starting palette, and the 12 slots let you layer several sounds in one instance.

The global tone control and per-instrument effect sends keep the workflow short: pick sounds, adjust decay and dirt, then set the overall tone and reverb.

The plugin also ships with a set of factory presets, which can serve as starting points before you edit the sounds yourself.
