Sep 8, 2004 12:00 PM, The Editors
Propellerhead Software has released the Reason Drum Kits ReFill, a huge multigigabyte collection of pristine drum kits recorded in a professional setting. Played by an experienced drummer, tuned by a professional drum tech, recorded in a world-class room with top-of-the-line equipment and producer, this ReFill kit goes beyond just trying to mimic the sound of certain drum kits. Instead, it captures the actual recording process of the kit as a whole, with its subtle nuances and resonant signals into all the discreet microphones, the overheads and the ambient distance microphones. This allows the user to be placed in the producer's seat with the power to mix and mold the perfect sound.
The Reason Drum Kits ReFill was created using Propellerhead Software's Hypersampling method that includes:
Multiple velocity levels for capturing each instrument's full
dynamic range.
Multiple microphones for capturing and controlling distance, ambience
and character; each microphone has it's own channel in the Reason mixer
for full flexibility.
Multiple same-velocity samples; the NN-XT automatically alternates
between sets of similar-sounding samples for a more realistic
performance.
Multiple variation sampling for capturing the human input and the
different techniques, grips and playing styles that bring life to an
instrument.
The Reason Drum Kits package comes with 17 preset kits created from more than 10,000 samples. The kits are divided into genres with styles covering pop/indie, funk/soul and rock/metal. Style templates for each genre will help users get the sound they are looking for.
The product comes on a DVD hat includes two versions of the ReFill: one 16-bit and one 24-bit. Also included are demo songs, MIDI categorized files and kits for Reason's ReDrum Drum Computer module. The Reason Drum Kit ReFill is now available at Propellerhead dealers worldwide or directly from Propellerhead Software for an MSRP of $129.
