DrumCore 4.1 Plug-In adds Multiple Output Routing

10th February 2017 - KVR Audio News

Sonoma Wire Works has released an update to the DrumCore 4 plug-in with tempo-stretchable audio and MIDI drum loops of performances by hit-proven drummers, plus multi-velocity samples of their drum kits in many styles. The 4.1 update adds multi-out routing, which enables producers and engineers to tailor the sound of the drum kits to fit their mix.

DrumCore 4.1 has 7 dedicated stereo auxiliary outputs for bussing sub-mix channels within a session. The full drum mix is still being sent to the main stereo output, while the sub-mixes are routed to the auxiliary outputs. Bus assignments for the 48 pads in each kit can be customized as needed. See the DrumCore 4 User Guide PDF (12.21.2016 or later, section 5.4) for instructions.
