Sound Sources and Microphone Options

The instrument is built from 506 Kontakt sample files and 18 audio files, totaling 56MB. The eight selectable microphone options let you choose how the drum is captured, so you can shift the tone and perspective within the same instrument.

Because the samples are organized as Kontakt instruments, the drum can sit alongside other percussion in a session and be played from a MIDI keyboard or controller like any other Kontakt library.
