03In depth

Folk Percussion Sound and Character

Pitch Innovations describes the tapes drum tones as warm and goat-skin based, with rolling rhythmic phrasing and expressive ensemble grooves. The kit was performed by 12 musicians, which gives the material a played, ensemble feel rather than a programmed one.

The focus is on rhythm and groove. The sounds suit film scoring, percussion-driven electronic tracks and hybrid productions that need a folk texture under modern elements.

Loops, Fills and One-Shot Patches

The kit includes 278 loops and fills recorded across multiple tempos, so you can pick a pattern close to your session tempo. It also includes 1212 one-shots with velocity layers and round robins, which helps keep repeated hits from sounding mechanical.

The one-shots can be played as solo, duo and full ensemble patches. This lets you build a single hit, a pair of parts or a full percussion section from the same library.
