The ultimate tool in percussions
Have you ever imagined that you are alone in a store you like and you can choose whatever you want? That's exactly what's going on here: we went to our favorite percussion store and sampled every instrument we liked. Working with an experienced percussionist, we carefully recorded every aspect of each selected instrument. We did also take cool pictures for main percussions, so you can have a "true" idea of the instrument you're playing with.
As usual we were really committed into recording quality: first we did rent an excellent recording studio with a percussion expert sound engineer, and then brought our gear: Brawmer and Neumann microphones, Manley, Fearn & Neve preamp and compressors, high end analog to digital converters and the best sounding soundcards in the market.
Percussion Store doesn't contain any loop, only single shots. Of course every instrument was deeply "multi-sampled" in 24 bits / 96 kHz, at dozens of velocity levels when applicable, different playing techniques (depending on the instrument), different hand positions, rolls, fla... All expertly played.
Packed with 100% original sounds, Percussion Store contains more than 150 percussions coming from all over the world for a total of more than 6000 samples:

In the mess of technical figures, it's sometimes difficult to be realistic, so let's be honest. A few years ago, we started to record all our new sounds in 24/192 resolution, thinking that it was the best solution of all. In a way it is, but after tons of testing and comparing, we did choose the 24/96 format for two main reasons:
1- Although one can hear the difference between 16/44.1 and 24/96, even experts can't tell the difference between 24/96 and 24/192.
2- And to be honest, 24/192KHz is still to heavy to use with current computers and harddrives, even with the new productive UVI Engine.
