from wikipedia
drum.crate kicks things off with a huge assortment
of vinyl inspired drum kits for Ableton Live 7. From deep layered bass drums and dynamic snares to
electronic claps, crunchy hi-hats, and zesty cymbals, drum.crate provides a far-reaching resource for who’s seeking to
produce original and futuristic tracks. Included are over 200 MIDI Based Live Clips ( Ableton Live )
which serve as starting points and allow for the most flexible editing of sound material.
Lots of the MIDI Grooves were recorded directly from a Roland V-Drum Kit ( without Quantization ).
As always the grooves span many genres and can easily be molded and tweaked to suit your style of
Music and Sound while retaining the swing and feel only given by a super talented drummer.
Check out some sound demos.
Also, included with this pack is a collection of Drum Articulation Racks, the
Articulator.
The articulations include drum
rudiments and playing styles that quickly add a truly individual touch. Flams, Release Strokes, Rolls, Fills
and Humanization techniques make
over quantized tracks sound far more authentic and the EchoTap adds a further creative
dimension to each separate drum sound. We've also optimized some of the over 60 preset racks
for standard electronic effects, such as static rolls, fills, stutters and buzzes.
The Articulator is presented as four unique flavors -
Psycho Flam,
Drum Roll,
EchoTap, and
Release Stroke. All Articulation Racks contain,
"Info Notes" for all available Macro Controls to allow the user to easily get to grips
with all devices. We feel that drum.crate combined with Articulator, is a must have
set of tools for any Producer or Artist who is looking for rapid and exceptional results.
Don't spend your time digging for drum samples and grooves, just dig in to drum.crate.
