ARIA Sounds are proud to present “Surdos & Snares”, a percussion ensemble consisting of three snares and three surdo drums, all placed in the displayed formation (screenshot below), and reproduced faithfully, so you can play these drums, and they will sound in these positions.
We have absolutely pushed the variation and authenticity to the limit with this library. There are 127 dynamic layers per hit/technique/key in these drums, which provides even more benefits than the obvious lack of repetition, or the dreaded “machine-gun effect”. Say you record/play in a performance with this instrument, and then possibly go into the MIDI data and tweak a few hits’ dynamics to get the performance how you want it… and then decide the general feel needs to be either louder or quieter.
Each drum has been played with varied techniques, including soft mallets, sticks, rims, hands, different brushes.
Click each of the drum icons on the interface to loud and unloud that particular drum. Unloaded drums will appear on the keyboard interface as black, and loaded drums with active samples will be shown as blue keys.
- This library runs in KONTAKT 4 and above.
- Library size is 6.5GB
