The Ultimate Urban Drum Rompler If you've always wanted to make the phattest urban beats with incredible hard-hitting drum sounds, but never spent the years being a beat chopper or crate digger, then this library is for you. It takes years to properly learn how to chop samples, rip breakbeats, create the right "swing", and run it all through the expensive hardware to get those perfect drums. This library does all of this for you. And for the experienced producer, you have access to advanced features like importing your own drums with MIDI and running them through our synthesis and incredible effects. Route pads to separate audio outs, use your own plugin FX inside the app, and get full access to synthesizer type programming to make for the ultimate urban drum rompler! Highlights: - 10,000 Combined Drum Sounds - 750 Beat Chops & Kits with MIDI - Load/Save your Own Samples - Host your own Plugin Effects - Insert FX, Global & Master Buss - Full Synthesis for Pads 1-12 - Route Pads to Individual Outs - Dedicated "Slug" Knob - Swing Groove Templates Factory Preset Style The factory presets come with Kits, Full Loops, and Chops from the Loops all in the style of Boom-Bap, Lo-Fi, Hip-Hop Soul, Vinyl and Chill-Hop. Similar to these artists: The Roots, J Dilla, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, and the Wu-Tang, etc.. Use Chops for Drums Any beat maker knows that loop chops represent the phatest sound. So along with the chops on each pad, you can tweak the chopped drums in order to create your own kits from the chops. Sampled from Hardware No drum sounds will ever sound good if they are not sampled from the correct hardware. We use all of the industry standard and our own secret gems in order to produce the hardest hitting drums. Secret Weapon Features: - Alias Name and Tagging for Drum Sounds - Route Drum Sounds to Separate Outputs - Load Your Own Plugins into FX Slots - Ability to Export MIDI Patterns - Save Presets with MIDI Data Embeded - Dedicated Knob to Lay Behind the Beat - Use Chops as Drum Sounds - 5-Insert FX Per Pad 1-12 Route Audio Outputs to any Channel Our app gives you the ability to route any drum pad sound to any output on your multi-channel audio device. This is paramount for mixing drums and separating them out for more flexibility when editing and mastering. Stacking and Layering With 36-pads, you can even stack and layer different drum sounds, which is a very popular producer trick. Simply assign the same MIDI Note to multiple sounds and stack as many drums as you want with one hit. This is how producers get those "out of this world" phat drum sounds. Amazing Effects In partnership with Overloud™, we have the full version of the famous Vintage Keyboard FX Suite of effects readily available. We also have licensed a ton of other high quality effects, all with very lush, warm, and vintage sounds. Each pad 1-12 can have up to 5 insert effects per pad, along with global and master busses. Every knob/fader can be MIDI learned, so you can adjust effects in real-time with a controller. Run the entire beat through a crazy reverb or phaser to instantly change the entire "feel" of the beat or drum sound. Our FX arsenal is so vast that you will spend months just exploring all of the possibilities.

***** 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.
