Analogue Drums Grandioso KONTAKT EXS24-DISCOVER

29-04-2012 | DISCOVER RELEASE | KONTAKT/EXS24 | 448 MB
Grandioso is about as big as it gets. Turn up the room mic, hit it hard and it will deliver explosive beats with resounding impact. Or back off the room mic and use more moderate dynamics for smooth, subtle and detailed grooves.

The kit is a vintage 1970s Ludwig Vistalite with the toms tuned low for growl, the kick unported for added weight, and two vintage Ludwig Supraphonic snares in medium and high tunings. Accompanied with classic Paiste 2002 cymbals. The kit was tracked in a wooden theatre with cavernous acoustics, providing a lucious natural reverberation. As usual we've used nothing but the finest gear to capture the kit including classic Neumann mics, vintage Neve 1064 and Ward Beck preamps. The tracks were then processed through a vintage Urei 1178 stereo compressor to add further weight and presence to the samples.

Features:

Multi-sampling: each key contains 24 velocity layers for expressive detail. Hihats are extensively sampled for convincing realism with 6 articulations (tight, closed, loose, semi-open, open, pedaled).

Layers: separately controllable layers for close and room mics.

Layouts: General MIDI (GM) and Extended Mapping (EX) layouts provided.

Kontakt instrument interface: with volume and pan controls for individual drums and room mics. Instant snare-swapping button.

Sensitivity control: increase the sensitivity of the kit for more subtle performances or leave it set to full dynamic range for rock and heavier tracks.

Presets: for quickly changing sounds.

• features only available when using Kontakt.
