German Log Drum

Product Overview

Kontakt Version Required:
4.2.3 Full Version (Not for Kontakt Player)

The German Log Drum is a 356MB virtual instrument. Each note of our 8 note pentatonic Logdrum has been meticulously sampled at 6 velocity levels, then turned into a chromatic instrument within Kontakt. The instrument used was a Schlagwerk 8 note Oak Log Drum in Bb major pentatonic (F2 G2 Bb2 C3 D3 F3 G3 Bb3).

We recorded it with center, stereo and room microphones, and played it with timpani felt beaters (soft and hard) as well as with the hand.

Features:

• 1188 samples at 24-bit 44.1 kHz.
• 3 Microphone Positions.
• Quick switch articulations.
• Original user interface and advanced custom scripting engine.
• GLD Full.nki (All articulations and dynamic keyswitching).
• GLD Felt.nki ('lighter' version with just the Felt articulation loaded).
• GLD Soft.nki ('lighter' version with just the Soft articulation loaded).
• GLD Hand.nki ('lighter' version with just the Hand articulation loaded).

Buzzrolls

Buzz rolls are also included (2 octaves above the clean hit) and various percussive hits are found an octave below. Buzz rolls are where the beater is allowed to come to a natural rest on the note. We included this feature for round robin possibilities and creative options.
