ThaLoops has released the Hortator, a virtual instrument plug-in of a big bass drum. They say:
The drum sound is so versatile that it can be used in every genre. Add the tribal feel to hip hop beats, add suspense if you are film scoring, or make soulful rhythms for ballad song production.
The plug-in is programmed to be played with a MIDI controller. Kick samples from C1 to F1. Snare/side stick samples from F#1 to A#1. Hortator features 6 types of kick and 5 types of snare samples. Each kick and snare type has up to 12 velocity layers to provide realism and authenticity while playing the drum with a MIDI controller.
Assign a separate stereo output through the combo menus "Kick out" and "Snare out". That way users are able to apply plug-in effects to the sounds separately.
Price: $19.00 inc. VAT.
