Voxengo AcuDrums is a sound sample library designed to capture acoustical sound of various drum and cymbal instruments.
The main idea behind AcuDrums library is to capture a contemporary drum kit sound. The library as a whole contains 8000 WAV files
and takes over 6 GB of disk space.
Instruments of this library have multiple velocity layers with each velocity layer having 5 sample variations designed to reduce the
“machine gun” effect.
The microphone placement that was used for sample recording reproduces a 3-dimensional sound stage. Instruments of the library
when combined together as a kit are said to have a good spatial separation and placement: they will sound like they were placed on
a sound stage, not like they are coming from the same position in space, the company says.
AcuDrums library features:
- Up to 16 velocity layers per instrument
- 5 sample variations per velocity layer
- Several stick and beater types
- Several zones per instrument
- Prolonged decay
- Hundreds of samples per instrument
- 44100 Hz 16-bit stereo samples
- Stored in plain WAV sample files
Compatibility: Samples and instrument files of this library are compatible with Native Instruments Kontakt 3.5 and 4 (Kontakt Player
is supported in demo mode only) and Cakewalk Session Drummer 2 and 3.
NKI and SFZ instrument files of this library can be additionally loaded in various compatible samplers. Individual WAV files can be
loaded in most samplers.
