For your information, Voxengo AcuDrums is a professional sound

sample library that captures acoustical sound of various drum and

cymbal instruments. The main idea behind AcuDrums library is to

capture a maximally pristine and unprocessed contemporary drum kit

sound. Library as a whole contains more than 17000 WAV files and

takes more than 11 GB of disk space. Instruments of this library

have multiple velocity layers with each velocity layer having 5

sample variations reducing the “machine gun” effect greatly.

AcuDrums library features:

* Up to 16 velocity layers per instrument

* 5 sample variations per velocity layer

* Several stick and beater types

* Several zones per instrument

* Prolonged decay

* Hundreds of samples per instrument

* 44100 Hz 16-bit stereo samples

* Stored in plain WAV sample files

Compatibility: Samples and instrument files of this library are

compatible with Native Instruments Kontakt 3.5 and 4 (Kontakt Player

is supported in demo mode only) and Cakewalk Session Drummer 2 and

3. NKI and SFZ instrument files of this library can be additionally

loaded in various compatible samplers. Individual WAV files can be

loaded in most samplers.

Samples of individual instruments can be purchased separately or in

custom bundles (a discount may apply), with the prices currently

ranging from USD 8.95 to USD 18.95 per instrument. Samples can be
