This is not a big deal.Ī couple of caveats - Version 1.0.0 does not play entirely well with Cubase. Unlike Amplitube 4, for example, there is no sequencer/recorder built in to the stand alone version. Having found the phrase you want, simply drag and drop it into your DAW. The shell profile, damping and tuning can also all be adjusted on the fly. The diameter and depth of every drum model can be adjusted to get the exact sound the user wants. The range of acoustic kits provided coupled with the enormous customisation available means you really can find that right sound for your project. Unlike some of its competitors which rely exclusively on sampled drum sounds, MODO Drum has a whole new and exclusive synthesis engine, for both drums and cymbals. It really does make the others look a little lacking, even though the filtering concepts are broadly similar MODO Drum just make it more intuitive. Super easy to navigate and find the pattern you want. The MIDI patterns, accessed through the superb UI, are amazingly good – IMO quite possibly the best suite available in this kind of package.The quality of the bundled kits in MODO Drum is excellent, so absolutely no worries in that regard. 10 kits in the package – most rivals offer only 2 or 3 (with the purchase of additional expansion packs necessary to add to the basic kits), Groove Agent has 3 acoustic kits and dozens of alternative EDM kits.On the other hand the Groove Agent interface seems to have been designed by sadists and makes it almost unusable. The GUI is significantly ahead of the pack IMO, although AD2 and EZ Drummer are not particularly difficult to use either. The GUI – scalable, clear, and most importantly the most intuitive one I have ever experienced on a drum VST.In no particular order then the key selling points for me are: Infinite velocity layers and round robins – each hit is generated and controlled by the modelling engine so that no two hits are ever exactly the same - impressiveĮffects – EQ, dynamics, distortion, reverb/delay, and modulation New modelling engine (really quite something. So what do you get? Here are some of the main features: IMO that most important something is the extremely clear, powerful and easy to understand GUI, but it is not the only something. In order to succeed it will have to have something particularly special the others do not offer.
ADDICTIVE DRUMS VS SUPERIOR DRUMMER REDDIT FREE
There are, of course, simply dozens of free EDM VSTs, but these are not in the market for realism – not substitutes for real acoustic drums. There are also a couple of very usable, albeit very limited in comparison, free drum VSTs, MT Power Drummer being probably the most popular. MODO Drums enters a market where there are already a number of established competitors, to name a few: EZ Drummer, Addictive Drums, Groove Agent (although this last one is much more aimed at the EDM user). Snap up your copy while the introductory pricing is still available. A word that is frequently heard in the promotional videos is 'punchy', and it is certainly that. Quality modelling, real time kit element editing, first rate groove library, more kits in the package than its rivals, and above all a wonderful clear, intuitive and easy GUI. This is an excellent modelled acoustic drum application. I stress that the opinions following are mine alone and based upon my personal experiences in a home studio set up. From IK Multimedia, the creators of Amplitube and Philharmonik to name but two, is MODO Drum.
