Zampler Expansion: Game Of Drones – Drone and Pad Sound Bank by Beat

Game Of Drones focuses on mood. Beat describes the sound bank as calm and relaxed, and its content centers on sustained pads, textural layers and spheric effects. These sounds suit the role of a backdrop: a bed under a melody, a slowly moving wash between sections, or an effect that adds space to a quiet passage.

Because the material is made of sustained and textural sounds, it works best where you want movement and depth rather than a sharp, rhythmic attack. Producers can layer several sounds to build a denser drone, or use single textures on their own for a sparser feel.

The expansion includes about 1.3 GB of pads, textures and spheric effect sounds, all intended for use in Zampler. It is listed under Instruments and Expansion Packs, so it is a sample library that you load into the host rather than a plugin with its own interface.

To use it, you need Zampler version 1.0.2 or later, and enough free disk space for the download. Zampler itself is available as a free download from the developer, as noted in the product's system requirements.
