Well I gotta comment on this one, I bought this pre-order full of anticipation as there was no demo created yet for it, I have to say in all honesty I wasn't particularly impressed with this one. I felt like the samples that come with it are more or less just shit that they piled together for the Kontakt script. The instrument itself is nothing to write home about either. I guess I just expected more from VIP SOUNDLAB that's all. I do & continue to support them as they are more or less my " go-to" for my beats.

Thankz theDingus for bringin tha' info to tha peeps

 

Amazing Drum Machine to say the Least The sounds are SUPERIOR to 95% of the drum companies I have heard. Makes for an awesome workflow for producers i have to admit i had a learning curve at first. When it loads it has the FX pre - engaged so you have to turn the FX off. It has an seprate EQ for each drum sound in addition to the effect page so you have to know what you are doing or you will have to much EQ on a pad and distort the sound. So for someone who doesnt know what they are doing when it comes to EQ'n they will be lost. The Sound Library is INCREDIBLE to say the least i contacted the vendor themselves and the sounds are actually hand picked from their best drum kits on there site , thus you are getting the BEST sounds from them with drum machine. I recommend you read the manual first and LEARN how the effect engine works on it as it has a built in tape machine , transient master , eq and compressor. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone for looking for an awesome Drum machine for your kontakt. I also asked them how to import your own sounds into and IT CAN be done as well. So i am giving this one 4 out of 5 stars ;))) Thankz theDingus for bringin tha' info to tha peeps
