Mac: OS X 10.5 or higher, Intel processor On the right-hand side, you can listen to demo tracks to hear the impressive results. This is especially clear with our hi-hat samples, for instance. Then, we cut most of the necessary sounds out of the grooves, in various velocities, and processed them to deliver samples as realistic as possible.
Although doing so is almost impossible, we broke with tradition in sample recording, which calls for capturing every sound individually Instead, our studio drummer played entire grooves. In particular, the innovative functions for creating fills generate very smooth and realistic drum tracks (see video).īecause we used high-quality cymbals and microphones for the recordings, the crash, ride and hi-hat cymbals sound especially refined and pleasant at various velocities.Īs early as during microphoning of the set and recording of individual samples, we took great care to replicate realistic circumstances. You can choose from thousands of assorted rhythms in the comprehensive Groove Library and compose your own drum accompaniment. The compressors built into the channels give you even more control over the level of compression. Its kick and snare drums come through clearly in any mixing situation – and still sound natural and not overly compressed. Some of the expensive plugins available on the market deliver a highly natural and dynamic drum kit sound as a solo instrument, but many fail as soon as they are supposed to be used for a complete mix in a powerful pop or rock production.Įither the kick drum suddenly sounds much too slack or fuzzy in the mix, or the snare drum, which initially sounds natural and dynamic in solo mode, suddenly gets lost in the background in the overall mix, drowned out by the guitars and other instrumentsīut this is exactly where the MT Power Drum Kit is strongest.
This is precisely where many drum sample programs fail. The MT Power Drum Kit Sampler differs from other, expensive drum samplers in that we have already pre-processed the sounds with compressors and EQs to make them a perfect fit for any mix. Samples have been specially recorded and processed to make them ideally suited for use in pop, rock and metal productions.
I know I can just drag & drop them from explorer so the MIDIs are 100% functionable like that, but would really like the added bonus of being able to preview beats in the UI.Īnyone fiddled around with this kind of thing? Or know whether it's at all possible? I'm sure it would be with some of the more comprehensive drum machine VSTs, but I don't feel like spending too much all in one go etc.The MT Power Drum Kit is a free drum sampler offering the powerful, high-quality sounds of an acoustic, realistic drum kit.
But if an *.rpl file is just a plain text file pointing to a directory, or a compressed directory, then it might be? I noticed that there are options for importing preset libraries - is this a possibility? It seems that a preset library is a single file as opposed to an entire folder, so might be barking up the wrong tree there. The MT2's content is all bundled up in one file so there are no existing loop directories to simply dump the new files in - seems like a reasonably closed system. I also have a copy of the MT Power Drum Kit 2 (paid) and would like them to interact somehow - like if I could somehow import the MIDIs so that they're drag & droppable through the MT2 kit's UI.
This morning I bought a copy of Ugritone's ultimate sample kit, it's basically 10-11 folders full of MIDI drum loops.
