Acousticsamples SmallDrumKits Library

The SmallDrumKits are 4 different Drum Kits (3kits plys the old DrumysM), each has two toms, a snare, a ride, a hihat and a bass drum.

SDKA interface

On the upper part of the settings panel, you have access to the volume of each element to make the library sound exactly like you want. The lower part has a few more tweaks:

Mapping presets, you can choose from the default, GM, V-Drums, IMAP, NSKIT, and your custom preset.
You can also map everything like you want to match a midi track, simply select a key click on midi learn and then click on the key you want to assign the sample to.
We implemented a midi driven hihat, meaning that different openess will be triggered depending on the value of that trigger. If you wish to reverse the controller action, just select the invert button.
You can choose wether the overheads samples will sound mono or stereo.
The response to the library to the velocity can be controlled with the sensitivity button.

Sample player

SmallDrumKits comes with its own sample player, the UVI Workstation 2(requires v2.5.2 or later).
We provide it for free with every library that you buy, you don't need to buy an expensive sampler to use our products.
