Now this turns your Fusion into a cool Drum Machine.
Get 5 new acoustic drum kits:
- Yamaha Recording 9000, the live drums
- Rock Kit
- Fusion Kit
- Jazz Kit
- 80s Pop Kit
All those were recorded in a decent studio that is experienced in drums recording and it provides all those famous microphones to capture the sounds perfectly. The mic positions were placed very closely to make the sound rather dry. This allows to add any room ambience with the Fusion's effects section.
I used a specific and convenient Controller concept to make the sound totally versatile for all drum kits. Each kit follows the same convention with access to tone attack, mute, pitch and room ambience. Also you have always a suitable drum rhythm by simply hitting the Arp button.
Snares, Hihats and Ride Cymbals are provided in several dynamics per for each drum kit, it allows a lively sound like a real drummer does it.
The mapping mainly follows the GM standard, so you can even change the kit during a song and the concerned sound types (kick, snare, toms, cymbals, hihats) will remain as they are located on the same keys. Not satisfied with a kit in a song? Just change the Preset and get a better one, no further editing necessary!
As there are several recordings especially for snares and hihats you can choose between several versions of the same drum kit, which is a very convenient handling.
But even this is not all, the new "Fusion Drums by kpr" provides even more drums and percussion kits that are based on the Fusion's internal drums and percussion samples, always including ready-to-use rhythms just by hitting a button. Unfortunately the Fusion's drum mode programming is rather difficult and pretty time consuming, but I made it for this library: Modern drum kits with many sound mappings for contemporary and classic music styles, they all are here and the Controller assignment follows the same convention as mentioned above. No extra learning curve!
A comprehensive how-to instructional PDF is included that explains all instrument details of the drum kits and provides even a tutorial how to customize them for personal variations.
Here are a few audio tracks showing what you get with the new library and also some more informations about the content.
Audio tracks:
Rock Kit 1
This is a half beat rhythm and demonstrates also how including Echo and Pitch effects by using the Control Knobs.
some Cymbals
Here you can listen to some Cymbals and their full decay. Most important for real drums sound is the natural Cymbals set, and here you have them. Of course the Cymbals are different per provided Kit and there are also several Kit variations with different Cymbal inside too. Same with the Hihats, Snares and Kicks.
Modern Drum Kit 1
To get you a impression how's the more processed Kits sound. You can choose between a very live and dry sound for all Kits and add effects as you want by using the Control Knobs.
Modern Drum Kit 6
There are Electronic Kits too ...
Percussion Effects Rhythm
... and also unusual Percussion Effects Kits.
There are even more audio tracks on the concerned product page here http://www.backintimerecords.de/bitr026.htm
Although all Kits provide ready-to-switch-on Drum Beats an additional MIDI file with 64 rhythms is part of the library too. Those beats are pretty long, sound very human and each beat has variations and several fill in parts.
The above mentioned instructional PDF explains everything in detail and gives you a very good insight into the Fusion's drum section. It allows you to customize eveything easily to get a very personal and individual rhythm for your music and each song.
With this new Drum library your Fusion turns into a advanced Drum Machine with a lot of options, an easy-to-use handling concept and fresh Drum Kits with a new and dynamic sound.
This new sound product is available for Euro 49.00 and for the limited time until August for only Euro 39.00.
