TAL-Drum

I wish it were possible to give a 10 out of 5 rating because that's what the plugin deserves after the last few updates. Now that it finally auto-names the outputs in DAWs like FL Studio and Cubase, it's pretty much the perfect drum plugin.

Great !

Very fast, easy and intuitive for a fully fledged drum sampler+ nice GUI, easy to use.

Now my favorite "bread and butter" drum sampler
+ easy to map MIDI (set the first note, and ask it to map the other pad chromatically)
+ modulation, envelopes
+ layers
+ good/simple explorer (set several favorite folders, then search your sample)
+ the resampling engines sounds great (old sampler emulation)
+ easy slicing
+ chromatic assignement (several continuous pads with same sample but different notes)
+ layers per pad (with cycling or randomisation for each MIDI note)
+ up to 64 pads with 16/32 or 64 pads displayed (for example: with 16 pad view, 4 pages of pads)
+ effect, including dynamics, saturation, spatial effects and a 5 band EQ (to mix within the plugin)
+ multiple output and simple mixer

- don't got for this if you are looking for an extensive library of presets
- a bit expensive without discount if you consider the other paid alternative and their features (such as XO or atlas 2).

This is the Drum Sampler I was waiting for 18 Years. I've been missing the classic workflow (Akai Samplers - Keygroups - EMU Samplers). It makes stacking sounds intuitive again. Working smooth, fast and it's even M1 native. I know, that everyone who worked with Battery 3 now will be very happy.
