Kit, Snare and Cymbal Sources

The instrument samples a Yamaha Recording Custom kit. The snare is a Dunnett Titanium, and the cymbal set uses Zildjian and Paiste pieces: hats, two crashes, a ride, a china and a splash.

The articulation list covers the kick, snare, three toms, closed, pedal and open hats, tip and bell ride sounds, crash choke articulations and a snare rimshot. The rimshot is mapped to the top velocity layer for natural playing.

Controls, Layers and Routing

Velocity is split into 4 or 5 layers, and each sample has 4 round robins to reduce repetition when playing fast passages. Four presets are included as starting points.

Multi output routing lets you send each drum element to its own channel for separate processing in your DAW. MIDI mapping is also supported.
