These processors - a five-band EQ, hi- and low-pass filters, a noise gate, a compressor and a transient shaper - appear (and can be inserted) like DAW plug-ins, but only work inside Superior Drummer 2.0. Versatile ‘X-pads’ allow further samples to be loaded into the virtual kit.Ī new Mixer page enables the instruments selected in the Construction window to be mixed, and new processors, designed by UK plug-in developers Sonalksis, can be applied to the different drums. The Construction page, where the drum kit is displayed and samples can be loaded, now features an amplitude envelope that lets you set the attack, decay, sustain and release of the individual drums. Now, with the release of Superior Drummer 2.0, Toontrack have raised the bar, and added new features that may well have users soiling their studio chairs.įirstly, they’ve updated the graphical user interface (GUI), making it more intuitive for the user.
In combination with the large selection of extra instruments added for stacking and sound design purposes, the sounds of Superior Drummer 3 give you an incomparable palette of options to craft drum tones beyond your wildest imagination.Superior Drummer 2.0 is, according to developers Toontrack, “a complete overhaul of the original DFH Superior”, a virtual drum instrument that we first reviewed back in SOS March 2005.īack then, we applauded the virtual instrument for its realism, drawing particular attention to its “meticulously recorded acoustic kit sounds” and the “extraordinary level of detailed editing” available to the user. In addition to close microphones and several ambience positions, the Superior Drummer 3 setup also includes eleven room microphones set up in a surround configuration, for use in anything from stereo to 5.1, 9.1 and all the way up to 11.1 systems. The library boasts in excess of 230 GB of raw sound material captured in extreme detail. The Superior Drummer 3 core sound library was recorded by award-winning engineer George Massenburg at probably the world’s most quiet and ideal location for sampling, the Galaxy Studios in Belgium.
This is the definitive tool for percussive sound design. It bridges the gap between acoustic and electronic and lets you venture off into completely new sonic landscapes. Combining the creative power of the sounds, the ambiences and the extensive set of features, Superior Drummer 3 is more than just a drum sampler – it’s a bottomless well of creativity. The idea with Superior Drummer 3 is to let you step into a virtual studio with the best possible raw material and mix options at your disposal to create drum sounds in an environment where only your imagination sets the limits. A CREATIVE PLAYGROUND WHERE NO RULES APPLY.
