Addictive Drums 2: Pop CollectionAddictive Drums 2: Pop Collection High-end drums for a luxurious sound Included Products:
(Also includes the Addictive Drums 2 Engine) Make your productions sound like a million dollars What do all big pop songs have in common? Expensive sounding production. The United Pop ADpak was recorded in the legendary room put together by Bill Putnam that gave us hits by Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, U2, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Radiohead, No Doubt, Queens of the Stone Age and many many more. Add to that the Indie ADpak, with its hand-made ICE Custom Shop kit, recorded on 2″ tape for a vibrant, organic, punchy, sound, and the Alternative Rock and Indie Rock MIDIpaks, and you’ve got a rhythmical gold mine ready to pop out hit after hit after hit. Addictive Drums 2 It’s All About the Sound Tweak any of the professionally designed presets or build up a custom kit from scratch, it’s your choice. Addictive Drums 2 is packed with mixing and sound-shaping features that let you transform the raw sounds in amazing ways. Whether you need your drums to sound open and crystal-clear or produced and radio-ready, or grungy and heavily distorted, AD2 has studio-grade tools to get the job done. Lightning Fast Workflow The best sounds and features are useless if you can’t find and use them quickly when inspiration strikes. Addictive Drums 2 really excels in this area. Every detail – from drag-and-drop audio and MIDI to rapid linking and layering, to near-instant kit piece swapping–is designed to keep you in the creative zone. The clean layout and lighting-fast workflow include hundreds of individual features that make AD2 fast and familiar – even for first-time users. Every drum kit is recorded in world-class studios by industry professionals and amazing drummers to give you professional sonic options and creative control. Where Do You Start? To get the most out of Addictive Drums 2 you always start with XPN Audio’s Collections. A Collection is a bundle of ADpaks (drum kits), MIDIpaks (beats) and Kitpiece Paks (single drums) put together to give you the best possible drum production experience. Indie (ADpak) Classic kit. Vintage Mics. Analog Tape. Svenska Grammofonstudion – Gothenburg How do you get that warm beautiful analogue indie sound in a digital drum production software? You go proper old school: First, you take it to Svenska Grammofon Studion’s warm, organic 120m2 live room, with 10m high walls covered in old fashioned oak tiles, giving the room the kind of short, rich decay that’s perfect for drums. Second, you enlist the help of their impressive collection of vintage gear, and if you want old school, Svenska Grammofon has a lot. From the outboard, and microphones to old Steinway uprights and rare Fender amps to Fairchild compressors and Pultec EQ’s, every piece of equipment you normally only see emulated in a plugin, is there in real life. Third, you run it through a beautiful old desk, and they don’t come much more majestic than “The Queen”, a Neve 8048 console with 1081, 1064 and 1073 preamps, that was once owned by Queen themselves, and which has been used by rock royalty like Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. Finally, you capture the beautiful sounds distilled through this process on a Studer A80 2″ Tape Machine. Is it really worth all that effort? If you want vibrant, organic, punchy and warm with just the right amount of grit. Yes, it is. Drums on tape just sound better. Custom kit – ICE Custom Shop This hand made ICE Custom Shop modern vintage rock kit, with its fresh “old school” shells and vintage Slingerland hardware didn’t really need the blue sparkle paint job for you to know it was a cool character, you can hear it right away in the sound. We introduced it to a Premier Keith Moon signature snare “The Spirit of Lily”, part of the rare 8 piece signature kit, and they got along just fine. After a lot of experiments, we found the Paiste 2002 and Signature series, and a vintage Zildjian K 15″ hi-hat made the perfect companions. But there’s more to this ADpak than a really cool drum kit, the real magic happened when we warmed it up in the studio by running it through analogue tape. Kit Details: Kick:

United Pop (ADpak) Colorful and polished drums that POP! United Recording, Studio A – Los Angeles To record the ultimate pop kit, XLN Audio went straight to the top: United Recording. This studio at 6050 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood was created in 1957 and built to the exacting standards of Bill Putnam (legendary engineer and founder of Universal Audio). Studio A has witnessed the birth of some of the most iconic hit songs of the last half-century. While the equipment has been lovingly maintained and updated over time, the actual recording rooms have remained untouched. Listening to the lush clear warmth of this ADpak you can understand why. After all, if it’s good enough for Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, U2, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Radiohead, No Doubt, Queens of the Stone Age, … Vintage Drum Kit – Leedy & Ludwig Certain things just get better with age; fine wines, Miley Cyrus, and this Leedy and Ludwig kit. The years have been kind to these drums, drying out every drop of moisture and leaving them crisp, clear and resonant. Yesterday’s drums, treated with love to produce the kind of uncluttered sounds that are perfect for today’s pop hits. For snares XLN went extra clean, giving you the choice between a Ludwig nickel over brass, and a 1960’s Japanese copy of a Slingerland drum called “Trump” that’s so crisp, XLN Audio just had to add it to this ADpak.

Indie Rock (MIDIpak) Beats for the Indie Rock Kit Indie Rock is as much about a sound as it is about specific drum grooves. This MIDI Pak delivers those authentic grooves in grand fashion. This MIDI Pak contains tons of classic Indie Rock grooves played by two of Sweden’s most in-demand drummers: Fredrik Sandsten (The Soundtrack Of Our Lives) and Staffan Ljunggren (Trummor & Orgel). Works with any Addictive Drums kit, but is particularly well suited for the Indie ADpak. Features
Alternative Rock (MIDIpak) Bold, catchy drumming with eccentric flair! Alternative Rock was born in the 80s, exploded in popularity in the 90s and continues to resonate with people all over the world today. We think it’s because bands like Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M. and Kings of Leon are not afraid to break the rules of mainstream rock and compose eccentric songs with bold flavour and personality.

Each kit also includes actual plate reverb and real room ambience you can blend in for maximum sonic possibilities. Reel Machines is a collection of the most iconic electronic drum sounds of the 80s.

To make it even more special, each instrument includes a real room ambience as well as vintage plate reverb that you can blend in to fit your needs. This kit comes with tons of presets designed by top sound designers. Each kit includes sounds ranging from classic and super-clean to modern and heavily processed.

The Funk’d Up MIDI Pak takes you on a fantastic voyage with unconventional, funk-fusion beats in the style of Jamiroquai, Prince and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Unlike typical funk, this drumming is a bit more musically complex (and harder to play!) Works well with any of the Addictive Drums kits. Features

EgoistGroove in a Box Use samples or full songs as a sound source. Instant Groove. The onboard bassline, a drum machine and the multi-effect sequencer make Egoist the perfect track sketching tool in the studio and on the road. You’ll soon fall in love with its distinct features and concept. It’s All Simple But Effective Stuff The Slice Arranger Couldn’t Be More Straight forward Egoist easily does what would take considerable effort in a traditional sampler: In record time, it can rearrange even the most predictable of samples to some great-sounding chops. Each slice has separate controls of pitch, direction, attack, decay and volume. So, let’s assume you play the same snippet over and over again – each step would sound completely different than the one before. The factory library packs 760MB sonic material, from acoustic beats, piano- & percussion loops, synths, vocals to FX, so you can go for hours before using external audio. Via „Load Sample“, you can import the formats .wav, .aiff and mp3. Drum ‘n’ Bass What All Good Music Is About Having made a slice sequence, you might wanna grab inspiration by its tail and move on with the structure of your idea. Therefore, we added the Bassline and the Beat. And this trinity of Sample, Beat and Bass really provides the most minimal setup to craft an idea in one go. The Bass Tab lets you create classic bass lines (á la 303 or SH101). Run the oscillator in saw or pulse and tune essential parameters like resonance, decay & cutoff modulation. The drum module is straight and to the point, just like its neighbour. More than 1,000 sampled kick, snare and hi-hats (open and closed) neatly organised in 15 kits. You can control pitch, loudness and velocity options. 96 samples per drum kit and a “Mix and Match” option leave you with endless combinations. Cheerful Rebel Arpiculation Is Arpeggiator and Intonation Rather than being a static add-on, the effects can be varied on a per-step basis. Of course, being able to treat effects as one-shot moments is much more dynamic than using overall global effects. A familiar concept to anyone who knows Effectrix. There are 7 processors in total, a small but well-formed array: Reverb, Chorus, Delay, Filter, Lo-Fi, Tape Stop and Looper – to be applied to Slicer, Beat and Bass. These con artists of sound are all quite beautifully depicted in their respective icons. Each offers a couple of parameters that can be edited via sliders, while the Filter section begins by offering 7 types and an equal amount of cutoff modulation sources from across the instrument. Neat Integration with your DAW Slice Key Mode: Triggers Patterns or Slices per MIDI Much like a traditional hardware sequencer, Egoist uses a pattern-based method for chaining patterns into a song. Each pattern can contain a different sample, slicing setup, individual bass, beat and effects setups… If you’d rather use your DAW’s sequencer instead, the small piano keys button at the bottom left lets you trigger the patterns or the individual slices. On the setup page, you can select whether the sequencer’s clock source is internal or via your host, and choose if DAW/host will start the sequencer on playback. The patterns themselves are triggered by pressing C1 through D#2, and the individual sequencer slices by pressing C3 through D#4. Sounds & Presets Some catchy tunes coming out of this thing:

Deputi DP-08DP-08 Introducing the Deputi Sounds DP-08 Kontakt instrument. This instrument was created by sampling a vintage 808 in the highest quality possible. The DP-08 gives you freedom to use the most legendary drum machine in music history like you’ve never experienced before! We think you’ll be blown away by the unique and expressive ways this machine can generate fresh and unlimited new ideas by using the DISRUPT™ feature. When hitting Disrupt™, the DP-08’s parameters will shift and generate something completely new & musically fresh! Disrupt If you’re skeptical about randomization, we totally get it! Unlike other randomization features haphazardly added to music gear in times past, we programed DISRUPT™ to stay within a musically contextual and useful range- (no more unusable and non-musical results!) With Disrupt™, your sound sources, pitches, envelopes, FX sends, FX presets & parameters all morph into a new soundscape… yielding sound design discoveries that would have historically taken hours to create! As always, your pattern, volume level settings, and master controls will stay where you set them, ensuring you never lose the groove! Sequencer The DP08 has a 32 step sequencer that allows you to input note, velocity and pitch information per step. The sequencer defaults at 16 steps but can be switched to 32. It also includes controls for latch, clear, number of bars, grid type as well as copy & paste functions. Parameters The master section allows for parameter changes of the sound selection, level, tuning and envelope for each drum sound. All of these parameters can be controlled by host automation, or disrupt buttons. FX Section The extensive effects section has over 60 high quality reverb impulse responses as well as 5 delay modeling engines. Each drum sound has it’s own reverb and delay send knob.

To get the most out of Addictive Drums 2 you always start with XPN Audio’s Collections. A Collection is a bundle of ADpaks (drum kits), MIDIpaks (beats) and Kitpiece Paks (single drums) put together to give you the best possible drum production experience. Session Percussion (ADpak) Hard-as-nails. Produced by Ross Robinson. Svenska Grammofonstudion – Gothenburg To capture all this percussive goodness, XLN Audio went to Svenska Grammofon Studion’s huge live room, with its impressive 10 meter-high ceiling, and took advantage of its equally huge and impressive selection of vintage mics. To those in the know, the words Neumann U47, U67 and M49 will start the juices flowing, add the fact that those mics were all run through a Neve 8048 console with 1081, 1064 and 1073 preamps, and XLN were in full audio-geek drool territory. If you’re not impressed by numbers, just have a listen to these sounds, and what they can do when the right MIDI is run through them. Congas and timbales playing totally new grooves, with a vibrant organic feel you’ll never get from regular percussion sample libraries… ¡Agua! Handpicked Percussion Kit This ADpak comes with the obligatory Latin set of a pair of congas, Tito Puente timbales, LP wood block, plastic block and tambourine, plus a Brazilian Caixa snare and pandeiro and a large orchestral bass drum. Played on their own to add flavour to your productions, or slotted into other ADpaks as interesting additions, these sounds are rich and punchy and sit nicely in the mix. But this is no ordinary percussion set. We put it together to act as a super unique, fully functioning drum kit with the congas and timbales as toms, and the pandeiro working as a hi-hat. The obvious kick and snare are the Caixa and bass drum, but the different slap styles of the pandeiro can easily be split over kick, snare and hi-hat, for some bad-ass samba business. We tested a lot of cymbals and hi-hats to choose the perfect set to complement this crazy percussive set, giving you a completely different way to hear any drum pattern you want to feed it. Oh, and it was all hand-picked and tuned by metal legend Ross Robinson for the recording sessions. No biggie! Kit Details: Kick:

Boutique Mallets (ADpak) Hand-crafted drums played with mallets Soundtrade Studios – Stockholm A kit like this, hewn from the forest, needs some space around it, so XLN Audio put it in the biggest one we could find. Soundtrade is Stockholm’s oldest and largest surviving studio, and over the years everyone from ABBA to Childish Gambino has come here to take advantage of its massive 100 square metre studio 1 live room’s world-class acoustics. Basically, anything you put into this room sounds great, and this Wacco kit is no exception. The Kit – A Boutique Wacco Take one look at this kit and you know it’s going to sound different. Drums don’t come a lot more organic than these Finnish beauties. Since 1998 Wacco has turned out beautiful wooden kicks, toms and snares (some literally carved out from single slices of tree), heat-treated, beautifully finished with natural satin oil, and tuned to perfection with traditional rope-tensioned lugs to give a natural sound like no other. To finish it off, we paired the kit with dry cymbals from the Meinl Byzance series, trashy and low with a sandblasted smoothness. It’s the kind attention to detail that shines through in the sound. Warm and natural, and as organic as the stuff it’s made of. All the drums in this ADpak were played with both sticks and mallets, with atmospheric cymbal swells to swish you into a whole new direction. Soft and folky, deep and different. Whether you’re writing a simple love song or a cinematic film score, this kit has the sounds to suit. Kit Details: Kicks:

OneShotMeet your new drum companion: OneShot! More than a drum sampler, this is a percussive workstation specifically designed for one-shots (single strike samples). Every detail in the workflow design and sound quality has been given a lot of care and consideration, making OneShot a percussion powerhouse that is both fun to play, excellent sounding and stuffed with purposeful and easy to use features. What do you get? With OneShot, you’ll get a very large volume of high- quality drum sets and percussion sounds, meticulously recorded using multiple velocity layers and round-robin samples. But OneShot isn’t just about the pre-packaged sounds. You can easily import your own samples just by dropping audio files into OneShot, letting the built-in smartness do the heavy lifting and automatically organize the samples into playable instruments, just a click away. There will also be additional sound packs available for purchase, both from Klevgrand and from collaborations with other artists – including different inspiring genres and styles, as well as less commonly used instruments. On release, the available additional sound catalog spans from glockenspiel and kalimba to classic hard rock drum kits, delivered by Ghost drummer Ludvig Kennberg and recorded by music producer Niels Nielsen (Ghost, In Flames, Dead Soul, MCC). More sound kits will follow. How does it work? OneShot Sample Playback engine – a Klevgrand approach. OneShot is a brand new and highly innovative sample playback engine that gives you complete control over your samples while still staying flexible. Each sound slot comes with its own mixer channel, allowing you to tweak effects, adjust levels, and route audio exactly how you want it. Plus, with Slots and Triggers At its core, OneShot revolves around Slots, that are activated by Triggers. A Slot consists of one or multiple audio files, for example a snare with several samples of different velocity. The Triggers are mapped to MIDI notes and contain individual envelopes, humanize settings and more. A Slot can be activated by several Triggers, and since each Trigger has its own unique settings, you can use the same Slot over several Triggers adding useful variation, including the smart Humanize function which sets how much the playback of the sound should be randomized each time the note is played. Mixer Environment and audio routing A Slot in OneShot is its own channel in the internal mixer, where one can add effects, change pitch, pan, volume and send parallel signals to two busses. The two busses and the main output also has two effect slots each. OneShot comes with a quite large set of effects like EQ, Compressor, Delay, Reverb(s), Distortion and stereo widening that can be inserted to any channel, bus or output. OneShot also supports multi-output, where each channel can be routed to separate host output channels for further processing in the DAW. Key features

STORMDRUM 3The Most Extensive Percussion Library For The Big Screen Featuring huge cinematic drums and percussion from around the world, you won’t find a collection as complete as Stormdrum 3. Designed for film and game composers looking to create bombastic and thunderous percussion, Stormdrum 3 delivers more power than you could ever ask for. And even when you want subtle, tame, more ambient drums and metal hits, it places all of this and more in your arsenal. Drums From The World Over The true potency of Stormdrum 3 is that it enables you to craft a fantastic musical story of any culture, any era, in any context. A documentary of the Amazon rainforest would be incomplete without deep tribal drums, and an intense sci-fi thriller featuring a heart-pounding speeder chase wouldn’t be the same without futuristic, designed auxiliary percussion. Stormdrum 3 gives you vivid realism, clean recordings, and maximum strike on every hit. We put all of our focus entirely on designing the perfect tool to architect cinematic experiences on command. Whenever your stream of ideas begins to dry up and you begin forcing yourself to continue composing, Stormdrum 3 will jumpstart your inspiration with a bang. Mickey Heart: Mickey Hart (of The Grateful Dead) brought his private collection to Studio 1, in tandem with the Remo company. The producers recorded an arsenal of drums, woods and metals hand-selected by one of the world’s greatest percussionists over his career. “In SD3, our focus was to capture Mickey’s unrivaled percussion collection in the best possible multi-sampled way. It is very flexible. And note that even the close mix comprises the input from 8 microphones. This virtual instrument is his legacy, and mine as well,” says producer Nick Phoenix. Taiko Family: The Holy Grail of taiko samples, these instruments were recorded from taiko drums in the collections of Mickey Hart, Remo, and the top taiko builders in Japan. Boasting individual hits as well as full ensemble strikes, Stormdrum 3 gives you the best source material possible to add a realistic taiko ensemble to your music. Big Drums: Large, deep, and booming, this collection comprises the heavy backbone of Stormdrum 3, not including taikos. With names like The Beast, Lord Of Toms, and Dragon Ensemble, you should get a sense of the raw power in Mickey’s one-of-a-kind drum collection. Gong Clocks Waterphone: Mechanical and detailed, this is the perfection collection for you if you enjoy adding subtle, barely-noticeable layers that your music. One of the coolest highlights is a set of recordings from 6 antique clock shops, perfect for creating complex rhythms without cluttering your percussion section. Metals: You get access to the many bells, deep bowls, chimes, and cymbals collected by Mickey on his world travels. This unique collection includes everything from handmade doorstop drums and hammered copper pots to the Brazilian berimbau, played on a metal wire. If you like using a lot of auxiliary or “odd” percussion, this collection alone makes Stormdrum 3 an excellent investment. Shakers: An assortment of uncommon objects: ganza, rainsticks, snake rattles, seed pods, and even deer hooves from Mickey’s private collection. Small Drums: The classics: bongos, frame drums, tambourines. The slightly more obscure: tablas, madal, and many more. Clean performances across all instruments, captured by microphones that allow the most brilliant high-end details to shine through. These may be the most fun collection of all to play. Woods: Unusual wooden percussion from all over the world, including: unpitched wooden resonators to the chromatic gourd marimba and balaphone, the mighty gourd drum, a playable 12 ft. long redwood tree branch, and scraped Thailand frogs. Microphones: Stormdrum 3 was recorded in Studio One, the same location as Hollywood Orchestra, allowing them to blend seamlessly in a single mix. The library includes 5 microphone positions, including: Close (set of 8 Neumanns and Sennheisers), Mid (mid tree, 15 ft), HiFi (super-clean and modern, 15 ft), Main (Neumann M50 Decca tree, 20-25 ft), and Vintage (RCA ribbons, 25 ft). You can blend these different tones and positions as you choose into a single composite sound. Features

FabrikatorProduct Overview Building on the strengths of Konstruktor, and keeping with the ethos of raw, unpolished percussive sound, Fabrikator explores the texture and motion of acoustic-synthetic sounds colored with convolution. The task was to design distinctive synthesized percussion that would complement the new acoustic palette while offering fresh material for the convolution engine: sounds and textures that would react in new and unexpected ways. Different design and mixing methods were applied to produce nine categories of synthetic percussion: over 200 multi-articulation sample instruments in total. Sound treatments include valve and fuzz-wah filters, frequency disintegration and granulation, harmonic and digital distortion, and pitch/time and modulation effects. PUSHING RHYTHM DESIGN New convolution impulses bring the total to almost 400, including vinyl/radio/tape/digital noise and static, particulate and granular effects, digital and acoustic sound effects, frequency modeling, mic effects and chorusing, stereo imaging, and new, pitch-based impulses for adding harmonic interest to rhythms. With Fabrikator’s totally new sample content, the aim was to shape and control the interaction between convolution impulses and more dynamic textural material. What new rhythmic possibilities might emerge? Going beyond frequency modulation, panning, and spectral effects, this is a new direction for generating rhythmic sound treatments from sample content. TEXTURE AND MOTION Fabrikator pushes the concept of a hybrid drum designer and kit builder in ever more creative directions. An all-new sound palette of custom-designed acoustic and synthetic percussion for generating fresh, dynamic rhythms—with a deep focus on texture, motion, and spatial elements. CONVOLUTION COLORS Sculpt each kit slot with convolution: almost 400 custom-designed impulses that color, shape, and spatialize every nuance of frequency and texture. Create deep, echoing kicks, dynamic, resonating snares, shimmering, syncopated hi-hats. Bitclutter, Humfuzz, Echoglitz, Monoflak… ROBOT OR HUMAN? Control the amount of randomization that is applied to velocity and quantization—separately for each kit slot. Make those snares and hi-hats extra trashy. And with 6 round-robin layers for every articulation, even fully synthetic kits can find a new groove. Let those kits run loose. PERFORMANCE CONTROL Adjustments to tuning, sample start points, decay envelopes, and sample width can be used to control how different convolution impulses color an instrument. Fabrikator is multi-out capable: kit slots can be routed to separate output channels for automation control and 3rd party plugins. FILTER CONTROL Each of the 7 kit slots has three dedicated, independently selectable lowpass, bandpass, and highpass filters, each with dedicated cutoff and resonance knobs for on-the-fly switching. Filtering offers another way to control how convolution impulses color the sound. SMART RANDOMIZATION A powerful kit-building tool, this feature preserves the kit’s performance controls and offers three randomization modes: sample banks only, convo choices only, or both. With two temporary memory slots for comparing new combos, tailor settings then save a snapshot of your new kit. FEATURES

Deputi DPXDPX Introducing the Deputi Sounds DPX Kontakt instrument. This instrument was created by sampling a vintage DMX in the highest quality possible. The DPX gives you the freedom to use one of the most legendary drum machines in music history in your DAW! We think you’ll be blown away by the unique and expressive ways this machine can generate fresh and unlimited new ideas by using DMX’s DISRUPT™ feature. By hitting Disrupt™, the DMX’s parameters will shift and generate something completely new and musically inspiring! Disrupt If you’re skeptical about randomization, we totally get it! Unlike other randomization features haphazardly added to music gear in times past, we programed DISRUPT™ to stay within a musically contextual and useful range- (no more unusable and non-musical results!) With Disrupt™, your sound sources, pitches, envelopes, FX sends, FX presets & parameters all morph into a new soundscape… yielding sound design discoveries that would have historically taken hours to create! As always, your pattern, volume level settings, and master controls will stay where you set them, ensuring you never lose the groove! Sequencer The DPX has a 32 step sequencer that allows you to input note, velocity and pitch information per step. The sequencer defaults at 16 steps but can be switched to 32. It also includes controls for latch, clear, number of bars, grid type as well as copy & paste functions. Parameters The master section allows for parameter changes of the sound selection, level, tuning and envelope for each drum sound. All of these parameters can be controlled by host automation, or disrupt buttons. FX Section The extensive effects section has over 60 high quality reverb impulse responses as well as 5 delay modeling engines. Each drum sound has it’s own reverb and delay send knob.

DropkickStep into the future of electronic kick drum perfection with Dropkick, the toolkit with 8 processors extensively tested and fine-tuned, especially for kicks. Make your kicks stand out from the crowd. Make them hit hard, loud, with maximum impact. Dropkick is a hack for your kick drums, combining pro producer techniques and processors from analogue emulation to psychoacoustic. Dropkick is an extremely fast and easy way to make weak kicks sound powerful, and those that were good in the first place are turned into super-kicks. Who is Dropkick for? Dropkick was created for sound designers and producers of electronic-based music. We tested it and tuned it to work well across multiple genres, including EDM, Drum & Bass, Techno, Trap, House and more. We packed so much into a single plugin to give you the ultimate kick toolkit. 8 in 1: Each of the 8 processors has a lot going on under the hood, more than meets the eye. They have been meticulously crafted and finetuned to the point that each of them could have been a one-knob plugin in their own right, but here you get them all because we like to spoil you! Power and Focus: Using a high-pass filter to enhance the low end seems counterintuitive. However, this technique has been used by professional sound designers and mixing engineers for many years. Setting the filter’s frequency at the fundamental and adding a little resonance not only boosts the bass but also removes unwanted sub-harmonics. Dropkick takes this technique to the next level as its surgical peak can resonate a single frequency. This makes it possible to strengthen and extend the fundamentals. Phase Warp: Offset the lower frequencies to shape the character of the transient and lower the peak level. This concept is not new. However, Dropkick takes it up a notch by using analogue-modelled filters, creating non-linearities that make for extremely smooth transitions and a little extra warmth, too. Like the other processors in Dropkick, these filters have been fine-tuned to work well on kick drums to get you in the sweetspot faster. Control the Power: DAMP progressively removes higher frequencies while still allowing the transient to cut through letting you to reshape the frequency content of your kicks. CLEAN dynamically removes boxiness and muddiness freeing up precious headroom and helping the kick to translate better in the mix. TRIM shortens the lenght of the kick tail to keep it tight and prevent boominess. Simply listen in realtime and adjust a single knob until you acheive the perfect balance. Get More Punch: SNAP enhances the attack and punch of the kick using an advanced transient processor that dynamically shapes the attack stage based on frequency content, fine-tuned for kicks. This technique delivers maximum punch with minimal increase in peak level, helping you kicks cut through the mix. Enhance: FIRE uses psychoacoustic techniques to enhance the sound of the kick. The low end is re-synthesized and harmonically enhanced while The mid and high frequencies are processed with analog-modelled saturation adding warmth and brighness. OVER is a dynamics processor based on an “over the top” compression technique, that has been fine-tuned for kicks. It brings out high end detail and tames the mids, while stabalising low end dynamics.

Modern Soul and R&B (ADpak) Fat, warm, organic drums for Modern Soul and R&B Riksmixningsverket – Stockholm XLN Audio wanted to be able to capture the sounds of this classic kit in beautiful isolation. Situated on a small island in the centre of Stockholm, Riksmixningsverket is one of the best sounding old naval warehouses in the industry. And at its centre is a classic analogue heart through which to capture some sweet sonic love, the Neve 8068 console. Old desks like these do something magical to music, they give their own character, enforce the punchiness and thickness of the sounds. It’s hard to put into words, but your ears can definitely tell. Classic Kit – Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple kit An absolute classic. Clean and crisp and smooth like butter. This Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple kit is made of sheets of Maple ply wrapped around a single layer of African Wenge hardwood, delivering a finely tuned tone that plays rich and clear across the full dynamic range. However you want to hear them, slamming out the breaks, or simmering in the back, they have the perfectly balanced sound to sit super comfortably in the mix. For snares, XLN Audio felt they needed two. A deep Longo Solid Ply Cherry for big, fat hits and thick side sticks and a shallower, high tuned 1968 Ludwig Acrolite for tighter, snappier hits. To top it off, we hand-picked smooth Meinl cymbals to glue the whole kit together, wrapped in warmth and balanced highs. Kit Details: Kick:

Vintage Dry (ADpak) Authentic 1970s Studio Drums INGRID – Stockholm Walking into Ingrid Studios is like walking into a time capsule. The place was built in 1969, and while stacks of hits have been recorded within its wooden walls, including ABBAs first album, almost nothing about the studio has physically changed in all that time. The place still oozes seventies flavour out of every surface, and sounds like nowhere else XLN Audio has ever been, capable of capturing both the dry, light, tight drum sound of the early ’70s and the thicker, fatter beats that disco brought towards the end of the decade. To ensure Ingrid’s impeccable ’70s character is not polluted, no gear made since the ’80s is allowed to pass through the doors, making the drum sounds XLN captured for this ADpak as close as you can get to the ’70s without a modified DeLorean and 1.21 gigawatts of electricity. Vintage Drum Kit – 1968 Ludwig Silver Sparkle Kit It doesn’t get much more ’70s than this. The 1968 Ludwig Silver Sparkle is like the drum kit equivalent of a glitter ball, and it’ll make you feel just as groovy. But to get the sort of authentic ’70s drum sound that’s been brought back into vogue by artists like Daft Punk and Justice, XLN pulled out all the retro tricks. They started by tuning and dampening the individual drums using authentic ’70s methods: The kick was stuffed with a pillow and a large sheet of felt. Newspaper was taped to the snare heads and more felt sheets were pinned to the toms. Then, to ensure audio authenticity, XLN Audio recorded it using only microphones from the 1960-70s (Coles, Neumann, Sennheiser and Bang & Olufsen) sent through the studio’s vintage API console.
