Wavesfactory has announced the release of DrumCircle, a virtual drum instrument library for Native Instruments Kontakt.

DrumCircle is the biggest and most ambitious sample library that we’ve ever made. Features 2, 4 and 8 drummers playing together in the same recording studio. Check out this album in Facebook to see some pics of the recording session. And also, check the making of.

You can combine the number of drummers, up to 14 players. 28 articulations (including toms played with hands), 6x round robin, 6 velocity layers, 4 mics with natural bleeding. Mixer section with volume, spread, pan, tune and EQ controls on each mic. FX section with compression, reverb, delay and saturation.
