The Unfinished has announced the release of Algorhythms 02, a collection of over 480 carefully programmed synth drums, collated into 20 electronic kits (with a further 3 bonus cinematic kits) for Kontakt, WAV, Battery 3/4 and Geist formats.
The sounds have been designed using some of my favourite softsynths (including Zebra, Diva, Massive, Bazille and FM8) and then processed with my favourite software plug-ins from the likes of UAD, Kush Audio, FabFilter, Native Instruments and Sonnox.
Designed with a dark, crunchy and punchy vibe in mind, Algorhythms 02 features deep kicks, driving snares, dirty claps, crisp hats and eclectic noises; as well as analogue-modelled ethnic drum sounds, cinematic hits and synth impacts in the bonus kits.
This drum collection can produce beats ranging from pounding, epic trailer slams, to techy, intricate underscore beats; from punchy, house grooves to subtle, minimalist techno rhythms.
The Kontakt version provides a specially designed GUI that allows you to control the tone and shape of each sample, via tuning, amp envelope, transient, filter and EQ controls; as well as being able to send delay and reverb effects. There are also lof-i, distortion compression, transent, filter and EQ controls across the whole drum kit.
Algorhythms 02 is available for purchase for the introductory price of £29.99 GBP (regular £39.99 GBP). Prices ex VAT.
