Sub51 releases Drop Pad Rhythmic Edition for Kontakt and Komplete Kontrol
Sub51 has released Drop Pad Rhythmic Edition, an updated version of the Sub51/Soundtrax Drop Pad instrument tailored specifically for loop manipulation and with a brand new content library.
Drop Pad RE comes with a large library of original drum and percussion loops, arpeggios and toppers that can be combined in any permutation within Drop Pad RE's four-layer interface complete with level morphing, modulatable filters and modulatable effects. The tempo of loops can be varied over a wide range and the user can also drag and drop their own samples/loops directly into the interface with automatic tempo-matching to the host DAW or to Kontakt stand-alone.
New features include a Play button in the main window for auditioning loops and it is now possible to further modulate the path of the morph cursor using further Warp functions, which open up new possibilities for modifying rhythms. An Isolate function now allows one or more of the pads to be locked so that its playback level remains constant, for example, when you want your kick and snare patterns to remain steady but still have the toppers assigned to other pads following the Morph path.
In addition Drop Pad Rhythmic Edition comes with 128 snapshots and 235 WAV samples. Furthermore, Komplete Kontrol is supported via selected pre-defined parameters.
Drop Pad Rhythmic Edition can be purchased at a reduced price of £29.97 until 4 January 2023 (returning to £39.97 thereafter). The FULL version of NI's Kontakt 6.7 or Kontakt 7 is required.
