    Hi Guys,

    Please recommend me Best / Simple plugin or library for Drums/Percs one shots
    (basically anything with LOADS of Great Drum and Perc one-shots)

    With a simple workflow like Omnisphere please - where I can quickly Audition them from presets menu - based on my Midi pattern (Omni is Great but lot of long sounds and not quick one shots for drums)

    There must be a Simple plugin with lots and lots of Drum/Perc presets for quick auditioning

    I've tried Klevgrand plugins - but personally din't like em (IMO not that they are bad)

    Genre (if that matters) - Melodic Techno / Dark Ethno Prog House

    Much Love
    G

    XLN XO if you want to use one-shots, and not long samples. Loopcloud if you want longer loops, bigger library, little keyboard plugin to trigger samples in the app. XO is like a drum machine. Apisonic Speedrum2 is a good one, and TAL-Drum is nice also. Some people like Algonauts Atlas, and I'm not one of them. ADSR also has a drum machine that would work too.

    XO is definitely not for everyone. They all have some pros and cons, so it ends up being a personal preference as much as anything else.
