Nicolas Signat has released Alive Underground Drums V2, an updated version of the drum instrument for Native Instruments Kontakt.

Alive Underground Drums is a new approach of a virtual drumkit : one microphone, a huge reverb from an underground parking lot, many high-end drumkits and a lot of possibilities ! It’s simple to use and sounds massive.

We have recorded each element with high-end gear (Rode NT4 mic + Nagra LB recorder) in high definition (88kHz 24 bit stereo), on several zones (except kicks) and always with 6 random robins. In total there are : 4 kicks, 9 snares, 3 alto toms, 2 medium toms, 3 floor toms, 3 hi-hats, 8 rides and 12 crash cymbals.

Changes in Alive Underground Drums V2

  • 4 new snares + 8 new cymbals.
  • New GUI with new features for every patch.
  • Offset knob + Midi Learn function + CC4 controler for the hi-hat opening, especially designed for edrummers.
  • Midi files from the audio demos.
  • Several little glitches resolved.

The library is available to purchase for £29.99 GBP until January 2014 (regular £39.99 GBP).
