Soundiron High School Drum Corps v2.0 KONTAKT

The Soundiron High School Drumcorps is a professional multi-sample drum library focused on capturing the powerful, tight sound of high school marching band drum line. There's a certain unique punch to those hard mid-tones with that truncated dry snap of marching snares and bass drums. It's quite distinct from the solid, pleasing punch and smooth resonance of typical rock, jazz and symphonic percussion. These drums are meant to be heard loud and clear from a great distance, delivered with the staccato precision of a military formation.

Functionality:
For the completely new version 2.0 redesign, we've added a full user interface and powerful new arpeggiation, ensemble building, room simulation, tone and articulation shaping features, providing you total control over every aspect of the sound and performance. We've also brightened and tightened the sound and added more flexibility to the bass and snare roll and crescendo articulations. The original 1.0 version of this library was originally released under the Tonehammer brand name in 2008.

This library now includes the powerful Megamixer interface, allowing you to create custom ensembles with up to 12 drums, with individual key-mapping, tuning, panning, release control, shaping and mixing and dynamic sample loading for optimal resource use. It also includes a specialized version of our Uberpeggiator arp system, with a new "EZ-Roll" mode that allows dynamic bpm-based roll creation, with velocity swelling, humanization control and much, much more.
