Precisionsound has released Real CR-8000 in HALion, Kontakt, SoundFont, Rx2 and WAV formats.

Real CR-8000 is the Roland CR-8000 sampled in extreme detail. Precisionsound sampled each sound in up to 16 different single hits. Precisionsound also programmed rolls when possible to capture the true behavior of the CR-8000 when a sound is rapidly repeated. All hits and rolls have been sampled in both normal and accented versions.

All grooves of the CR-8000 has been recorded in 4 bars and soundgroups are separated, you get both a "mix" loop including all sounds for that particular groove and kick/snare, hihats, cymbals, Congas, Cowbells, etc. as separated loops for all grooves in both normal and shuffle versions. Precisionsound recorded the grooves in low tempo (around 60 BPM).

Real CR-8000 contains:

• 2 programs for NI Kontakt (variation of single hits as round robin and velocity layers).
• 3 programs for HALion (variation of single hits mapped in velocity layers).
• 1 program for SoundFont 16bit (variation of single hits mapped in velocity layers).
• 227 single hits and rolls in 24bit Mono WAV.
