FEATURES
PERCUSSION offers powerful performance features and a wide range of both essential and exotic percussion instruments.
RESONANCE SIMULATION
PERCUSSION uses a unique sampling and playback system for unprecedented realism. Drum Head Resonance Simulation (DHRS) intelligently switches between recordings of strikes on still drum heads and recordings with resonating drum heads. This allows round-robin sets that recreate the real-world sound of played drums, adjusting for style and performance.
55 INSTRUMENTS, 7 KITS
This diverse palette of percussion instruments offers symphonic classics like timpani, snare, and concert toms, alongside tuned percussion like celesta, marimba, and vibraphone, and even playful hand percussion like agogo, jawbone, temple blocks, and much more. Each instrument can be played individually or as one of seven smartly combined kits.
