DETAILS

Super Flexible Blend System.

Blend and control each drum with additional Trigger and Sub Samples.

Use the trigger samples to add extra bite to the attack with a selection of acoustic and electronic triggers to choose from. Control the Tuning, Pan, Attack, Release, High and Lo Pass Filters for each trigger independently to the main kick. Each Trigger also has two microphone positions to blend together to craft the perfect trigger.

Use the Sub to add bottom end to the core kick sound with an additional 13 tuned subs and 13 misc subs to choose from. Control the tuning and release for each sub individually.

Each Drum has 5 microphone positions and up to 27 Velocity Layers. If you've ever used the PSI snare you'll know just how flexible this system is for producing perfect drums for any purpose.
