***** 5/5 star review in Sound On Sound! Meet your new drum companion OneShot! More than a drum sampler, this is a percussive workstation specifically designed for one-shots (single strike samples). Every detail in the workflow design and sound quality has been given a lot of care and consideration, making OneShot a percussion powerhouse that is both fun to play, excellent sounding and stuffed with purposeful features. Following the tracks of percussion innovations like Slammer, Borsta, Ting and Skaka, OneShot is Klevgrand’s biggest and most capable drum instrument yet. Packed with lots of handy features to give any drums an organic feel, like humanize settings, velocity layering and round robin. Plus, it comes with more features like choking, filters, envelopes, an extensive effects system, and multi-out routing. But don't worry, even with all these features, OneShot is still super-easy to use, flexible, and intuitive, offering an extensive hub for all your drumming needs, while staying true to the recognizable spirit and quick workflow associated with Klevgrand. OneShot’s innovative sample playback engine gives you complete control over your samples, and lets you stay flexible. Each sound slot comes with its own mixer channel, allowing you to tweak effects, adjust levels, and route audio exactly how you want it. Plus, with support for multi-output, you can take your sound even further by processing individual channels in your DAW. "Over the last four years we've discovered that many music creators out there want to use drum sounds in a similar way to how we like it at Klevgrand. This has given us the confidence to develop a fuller concept, OneShot, that will make our existing users feel at home and also welcome new Klevgrand users." – Tobias Engström, CEO & Co-founder BYOB (Bring your own beat) OneShot isn't just about the pre-packaged sounds. You can easily import your own samples, just a click away. More cowbell! With OneShot, you'll get a large volume of high-quality drum sets and percussion sounds from start, meticulously recorded using multiple velocity layers and round-robin samples. But the fun doesn't stop there – with additional sound packs available for purchase, including collaborations with top artists, you'll never run out of inspiration. From classic drum kits to unique percussion instruments, OneShot has everything you need to take your beats to the next level.
