Soniccouture has introduced a new Kontakt Player-powered virtual instrument that combines the old school-style drum machine with 21st century sampling techniques. AC-DR Acoustic Drum Machine features round-robin samples, multi-channel sounds, and generative sequencers.
This has been years in the making – the idea started life as a kind of reverse follow-up to Electro-Acoustic: ‘let’s make acoustic drums sound electronic’. But, it took quite lot of experimentation and head-scratching to figure out exactly what that might look – and sound – like. It’s come our better than we dreamed possible. Now it’s time for you to check it out.
