XpanDrum - Product Details

  XpanDrum ($29.99-89.99 USD) is our newest product   for Native Instruments Kontakt. Featuring up to 16-way   round-robin samples, XpanDrum is a collection of four sampled hand drums, each expandable to as many as four drums per MIDI channel. Each drum uses extensive Kontakt scripting to allow user-definable humanization of the ensemble's performance, including tuning, timing, dynamics, panning, and volume of each "virtual" layer. In addition to these features, we've added intelligent round-robin (surpassing the effectiveness of Kontakt's default behavior), voice conservation for efficient performance, keyswitching for realtime ensemble size control, and two "repetition keys" for fast repetitions without having to strike the same key repeatedly. A velocity sensitive Low-Pass Filter allows for realistic dynamics at a fraction of the RAM usage of standard percussion libraries.

Each individual drum is available as a seperate downloadable purchase ($29.99 USD per drum), and the entire collection is available at a discount ($89.99 USD).
