HSDV - a unique new concept in electronic drum sample libraries....

Image

Instead of static snapshot samples that are fixed and untweakable apart from, perhaps, tuning them, HSDV is a complete multi-channel, true drum synthesiser that gives you complete control over the sounds to shape them and sculpt them as you want or need to create a massive diversity of vintage and modern and glitchy drum and percussion sounds and sound effects.

No more uneditable, static 808/909 kick or snare samples, no more uneditable, static Simmons samples or CR78 (whatever) samples, etc.! You can make and tailor your own - and more - to your exact requirements using the carefully designed and scripted Kontakt panel.

It is loosely modelled on the original Simmons SDSV where noise and tone (pitched oscillator) are balanced together and then shaped by a simple envelope but unlike the original, HSDV offers various noise types (white, pink and red), multi-mode (LP/BP/HP) resonant 2- and 4-pole filters for the noise, a choice of waveforms (sine, triangle 1, triangle 2 and square) for the tone oscillator. There are also a variety of different 'Click' sounds to mix into the attack of the sound for more 'punch'.

And unlike the original, the filter can be swept and the tone oscillator's pitch bend sweep is also invertable on the HSDV for a wide and versatile range of powerful drum sounds and sweeps that go way beyond the limitations of the original.

You have almost limitless control to make your own sounds but to assist, each module comes with 'factory' presets allowing to make your own kits simply by mixing and matching different preset drum sounds together. And if you make a sound you want to keep for use in other kits, you can store your own 'user' sounds per module. You can, of course, make as many kits as you want simply by saving the Kontakt .NKIs.

And if you have a knobby controller, its controls can be assigned for hands-on interactivity using the MIDI 'learn' facility.

Availability will be within the next week or so and the price will be $40. It will be available in Kontakt 3.5 and Kontakt 4 formats.

This new electronic drum sample library concept is an exciting new product for Hollow Sun and for anyone working in almost any genre of electronica where versatile and powerful electronic drums, percussion and effects are required.

Watch this space for more announcements!
