03In depth

Festive band sound and character

The kit is built around a celebration band that the developer says starts slowly and builds in tempo as the dancers join in. Pitch Innovations highlights big dhol hits, bright stick sounds and tight band fills as its core sonic palette.

Because the material is organized as loops, fills and one-shots, you can use the full-length grooves as a foundation or pull individual hits and fills to punctuate a section. The band character works well for tracks that need an energetic, rhythmic lift.

Loops, one-shots and playable patches

The library contains 280 loops and fills, which cover arrangement moments such as transitions and build-ups. The 600 one-shots give you individual hits to program your own patterns or layer with other drums.

The playable patches come in solo, duo and full ensemble configurations. This lets you scale the band to the density your track needs, from a sparse two-player feel to a complete ensemble.
