Meet your new drum companion OneShot! More than a drum sampler, this is a percussive workstation specifically designed for one-shots (single strike samples). Every detail in the workflow design and sound quality has been given a lot of care and consideration, making OneShot a percussion powerhouse that is both fun to play, excellent sounding and stuffed with purposeful features.

Following the tracks of percussion innovations like Slammer, Borsta, Ting and Skaka, OneShot is Klevgrand’s biggest and most capable drum instrument yet. Packed with lots of handy features to give any drums an organic feel, like humanize settings, velocity layering and round robin. Plus, it comes with more features like choking, filters, envelopes, an extensive effects system, and multi-out routing. But don't worry, even with all these features, OneShot is still super-easy to use, flexible, and intuitive, offering an extensive hub for all your drumming needs, while staying true to the recognizable spirit and quick workflow associated with Klevgrand.

OneShot’s innovative sample playback engine gives you complete control over your samples, and lets you stay flexible. Each sound slot comes with its own mixer channel, allowing you to tweak effects, adjust levels, and route audio exactly how you want it. Plus, with support for multi-output, you can take your sound even further by processing individual channels in your DAW.

Will Post some Free Kits SOON!

Post

My first free kit for Oneshot!
https://mega.nz/file/YqoRUK5L#KBQEUzBHR ... nirL43lwUA
Is called LOFT HOUSE and has a GRITTY BASEMENT vibe. For those dirty house sessions.
Hope you like it!
More FREE kits to come!

What kind of sounds would be cool to have for Oneshot?
Chiptune drums? Lo-Fi stuff? Lemme know!

Post

Is there any special video tutorial with Oneshot you guys want to see?

Post

I've watched the videos but can't (yet) see what the fuss is all about?

I use Skaka a lot and like it. Lots of other Klevgrand products, too. And I like all of them except Tomofon was a mistake, can't get into it.

But this is kinda Battery with more options but for 99$...ugh, nope. There are other solutions, most of them don't allow import of user samples but have f.i. lots of midi grooves or sequencers to make grooves (SonicCouture Kontakt libraries sound fantastic and have three sequencers, up to 110 velocities per sample).

I just don't get this yet. Especially not for 99$.

Yeh, I must admit I looked at this and it took a while to work out what it did (and didn't do)
Battery seems to be the closest thing but Lives drum rack has sort of replaced that type of thing for me.
X32 and 24C mixers, S88MK3, Live + PUSH 3, Osmose, RedShift 6, Pro3, S4, Tempera, Syntakt, Digitone, OP1-F, OPXY, TR-1000, Eurorack, TD27 Drums, Guitars, Basses, Amps and of course lots of pedals!

The killer feature that seems to set this apart (for those who like to use their own sounds) is the round robin slider. I’m not aware of any drum sampler that lets you use multi-velocity samples and round robin as well. Groove Agent is the closest but you have to choose between one or the other, velocity triggering or round robin triggering - can’t do both. That ability seems to be limited to library developers. OneShot gets around this with the round robin slider. Load as many velocity levels as you want into a slot (the more the better for this) and then slightly increase the rr slider and it will alternate hits between adjacent samples, effectively allowing multi-velocity and round robin triggering with each slot. As far as I know this type of functionality is only available in more advanced samplers like halion, kontakt and falcon. OneShot is much faster and more intuitive to setup. The sample focus slider is very useful too - much faster than manually setting up velocity mapping for each sample.

The biggest flaw seems to be the inability to trigger two slots with a single trigger (kick and hihat for example). I emailed them about this and they said they would look into it.

Yes, surprising move from Klevgränd - instead of their usual whimsical stuff, this one seem to be a solid (and a bit pricy) workhorse for acoustic (and otherwise) drums.

There is the round robin feature mentioned above, something I’ve only been able to achieve in the sampler in Reason, and by coding SFZ files, both requiring lots of work.

But another unique feature, great for acoustic drums, is the advanced choke options. Specifically the function that choking an open hihat with a closed hihat won’t kill the open one immediately, and instead allowing you to set a short release time. You can get much more realistic hihat articulation this way. This I could only produce with SFZ before.

This plugin fills a (small) need in the plugin world. Not all that many people build their own multisampled kits, but I do - I’ll give it a good test run today.

I haven't used Battery for ages. And as an Akai MPC and EMU SP user i feel right at home with Oneshot!
I don't make any accustic music, i make electronic music and hiphop, and the built-in efx works great for that!

How does this compare to Logic's Drum Kit designer?

If this was part of the Percussion bundle (curious as to why it isn't..) with a deeper discount / lower price, I'd probably grab it. I own their other drum plugins and use them regularly. Some nice kits in this!

I downloaded to take a gander. FYI as far as competition:
Speeddrum by Apisonic Labs (I own it) seems to fall under everyone's radar and it's killer. Great support. And it will do round robins in conjunction with velocity layers. Also trigger 2 pads with one note. $60
Tal-Drum by Tal-Software also does layers and robins and has the drag and drop feature - $60
Soniccouture recently released its latest Kontakt (free version) based library called AC-DR (I own it) and it sounds VERY good. No user samples and only one kit but lots of manipulation and some great built in sequencers from which you can drag and drop MIDI. It's claim to fame is the comprehensive round robin implementation and velocity shaping you can do.

Post

Speeddrum is limited to 8 layers, while TAL Drum is limited to 4.
For acoustic drums (not something everyone cares about) I usually look for at least 16 velocity zones. The drums included with OneShot seems to be around 24.

Unfortunately it still doesn’t seem like Klevgränd can (or want to) produce a reverb engine that I think sounds good, and the convolution engine is limited to a few impulses that aren’t my cup of tea either. User impulse loading seems fully justified here.

Looking at the demo now. You can see in the edit window how the RR are handled. If you want lots of RR you need lots of layers because otherwise, for one, you won't have enough samples, and for two, the samples it picks for the RR will be further from the original strike sample as in samples that were hit much harder or much softer. I believe I'm noticing that the random RR selection is random but not "non-repeating random"... and that's not a good thing.

The UI needs improvement. To edit the effects and envelope for a layer you have to open multiple windows and scroll and you can't see in one view which effects are on or off. You should be able to click on one button for a layer and see all the effects that are on or off and select one from there and also see the envelope parameters in that window. If nothing else, you should at least see what effects are on by an indication next to the names in the drop down menu.
