Soundiron Apocalypse Percussion Micro

Apocalypse Percussion Micro is the compact starter edition of Soundiron's acclaimed Apocalypse Percussion Ensemble library.

This heavy cinematic drum library features a total of 28 hard-hitting ensemble articulations, including 6 concert snare drum sets, 5 large tom sets, 7 bass drum sets, 4 Indian Dhol sets, 3 Turkish Doumbek sets, 1 Irish Bodhrán (frame drum) articulation, one Egyptian Riq, and a Greek Daf articulation, so you have access to a broad range of powerful sounds to create with.

Apocalypse Percussion Micro has a simple and intuitive user interface with full articulation control, modular kit-building, dynamic arpeggiation, and customizable FX routing, with 119 real-world and special effect convolution spaces.

Each articulation we performed by an ensemble of each drum type, ranging in size between 3 and 6 players in unison, for a massively epic sound.

Each articulation sound set has 4 - 12 dynamic velocity layers and 2 round-robin variations per note.

Soundiron captured these instrument ensembles in the same bright, open hall where they recorded the legendary Olympus Symphonic Choir, Mercury Boys' Choir, Montclarion Grand Piano, Struck Grand, Tuned Artillery, and many other libraries.

The space and wide large-diaphragm close mic array give these drums a potent and aggressively open sound, with just the right touch of transparent natural reverberation.

This library also includes 15 custom sound-designed FX presets to expand your creative options.

Contents

The custom-scripted Kontakt user interface gives you flexible control features, like attack, release, transient start offset, dynamic swelling, and a robust Arpeggiator system that provides a full range of custom dynamic modes and step sequencer pattern creation options.

There's also a complete DSP effects rack, including reverb with over a hundred life-like spaces, such as cathedrals, churches, halls, bunkers, garages, tunnels, chambers, rooms and creative FX convolution impulse responses.

The library comes equipped with a powerfully simple ensemble bank preset, a fully customizable 8-socket kit building "Megamixer" preset, and the unique dual-layer tuned percussion system preset that lets you play any articulation as a pitched instrument over the whole key range and combine any two articulations together, each with their own fully independent control parameters.
