Any ETA on teh hybrid kits Squiddy?

I have the iMap versions ready but the team was overloaded today and couldn't get the GM and VDRUM versions of them done today as well. So, it will be done by Wednesday and posted asap. I may be able to get them to post both the Hybrid kits for USD2 -AND- the hybrid its that combine USD1 and USD2 at the same time though. Remember this is the icing on top! But I want you all to have it because that's part of the fun.

Busy but dedicated to making this stuff great. Remember too that I am an active musician/songwriter/producer myself! I am just about to go to a session next week and want to have all of this on hand as well so... create some cool kits for me, give them to you guys... works out well!

Is the final USD2 Global Patch Update up now? Does it have a different name?
Thanks,
Sergio

Also, the minor minor tweaky fixes and/or settings (more settings) are going to put into a final USD2 Global Patch Update as well and we'll be done with USD2.

The only thing is that for all the MT kits I don't get any level, nor can I control volume or pan etc. in the instrument interface or the mixer in Kontakt. Tuning seems to work but not much more. Is this to do with how they're set up, being multi-track, something to do with the routing or whatever?

I'm sure that this will be covered in the upcoming Drums Masters manual.

Meanwhile, Have a look at this

for the routing in the Drum Masters 1 MT kits
-- note that the cymbals do not have their own mic channels, using the OH, Room, Room2 and Misc1 channels only.

Hi,

about the patches,

- will we have to apply them on the kits we'll get on the DVD?
or
- are the kits on the DVD already patched (and so these kits, on the DVD, are immediately ready to use)?

Thanks for your answer!

But what will REALLY make this special is that not only will the Sequel have another 25 Hybrid Kits that mix and match the above but if just 200 people are reached (1/4 of the level the first one got to) then everyone who bought Ultimate Studio Bundle 1 AND this Bundle 2 will get a stellar 50 more Hybrid kits that mix and match between BOTH bundles... and these are some of the best sounding kits ever because they really cherry pick amongst a diverse variety. Some of my personal favorite combinations of OWD and Drum Masters kit pieces... mixing and matching NDV Collins-style with Jerry Marotta Gabriel-style or Bonham with Ringo-style and a fusion of really good combinations as long as that reasonable goal is reached which I think can be accomplished if everyone gets into it.

Hi Squids, on vdrums forum you say that there will be 26 hybrid kits for just usd 2 and then 20 combining usd 1 and usd 2... when will we have the 50 hybrid kits between the both bundles ?

No it's 50 between them both.

By the end of this week.

Thanks DarkStar. Sounds like there's nothing wrong as such but that what I am seeing (or rather, not seeing) is more to do with how the MT kits are set up and routed.

Oh sorry, my english seems too bad : i thought that the sequel comes with 25 hybrid kits and then there will be 50 more kits for both bundles...

i thought "more" was the same as "plus"... but if i understand clearly, it means that the buyers of the 2 Group buy will not have 25 kits only but 50... is it ok ?

thanks

I've been very busy over the 6 weeks, so I'm kind of late to the party...

I'm finally getting around to downloading my kits from the last OW & DM group buys, and I see that I get the Phase 3 bonuses. But since I originally participated in the DM GB earlier in 2009 as well, I already have all of these bonuses.

Now I'm not expecting any "extra" bonuses, but I was wondering if I can give my redeem code to someone who has IP, or gets the starter pack, since these bonuses are completely useless to me.

Thanks!

[DarkStar]

Well I was also in last year's IP (DM1) GB and the first USD GB, so that USD GB Phase 3 bonus of 2/5 choices does duplicate a couple of things for me too. But, no big deal; on the other hand I got loads of new USD and OWD kits to play with and to mix and match into "hybrids_DS" kits. And the upcoming DM1 patch updates will turn my DM1 kits into STm kits too.

So, all in all, even without redeeming that code, there's lots of value there for me. The eSoundz/DownloadableSoundz Redeem codes are linked to your account - they would not be not transferrable.

I had the same question before. You can't. I'm not complaining though.
