Hi Fives

Hi Fives features the streamlined magical anatomy of Soundiron founder Mike Peaslee, who recorded over 9,000 samples of body, hand and mouth percussion in two microphone positions and up to 16 velocity layers. Body articulations include arm, chest, belly, thigh, and cheek slaps with up to 12 round robin. That's slapping yourself silly. Hands cover snaps, flicks, claps, punches, swipes, and scrub sustains, while Mouth includes clicks, pops, swishes, tongue drops, lip tweedles, spit, kiss, smack, gasp, exhale, grunt, heave, and an entire mouth-made drumkit. Sorry, no butt cheeks in this one. All of the articulations can be performed in ensemble, remapped, and randomized to create an army of Peaslees. This comprehensive human ham-bone beatbox features extensive round robin variation and deep dynamic velocity layering to give you ultimate realism, like you're playing this body percussion yourself.

After recovering from a few resulting performance-related contusions, we expanded these mortal tones with 20 ambient less-organic soundscapes molded from the same source clay and dialed in 20 custom FX presets to kickstart your next phat beat. From Rock to Trap, Hi Fives is ready to liven up any track you slap it on.
