NI Kontakt Buffalo Drum:
- Each loop is offered in 3 tempos - 1x tempo, 2x tempo and 3x tempo. These tempos can be layered against each other and very easily turned on and off via keyswitches in any combination, with independent control for each tempos volume, panning, tuning, filtering, delay and EQ. This makes it possible to emulate anything from thundering low drums to high shaker type effects.
- A drop down menu lets you choose the trigger point for each loop to ensure that your loops always play back in sync to each other.
- A multi-sampled 590 MB Hits instrument is included featuring an intuitive mirrored mapping scheme.
- An elegant Kontakt user interface/script authored by Bo Clausen.
- 791 MB Library (435 MB.rar file download purchase only).
Stylus RMX Buffalo Drum:
- The loops are organized in Suites, according to their time signature and hit type.
- Groove Menu multi presets for all the Suites have been created for making polyrhythmic loops by using the "Three Time Tempo" concept.
- Various Example multi presets are offered to give the user hints and inspiration. A small tutorial included in the manual.
- A Suite that contains all the single hits (one shots) for creating your own grooves and fills to compliment the loops.
