Professional Drum Replacer and Sample Library
TRIGGER is the audio industry’s not so secret weapon for getting big, professional drums sounds in mixes. With an easy-to-use interface, you can quickly replace or augment kicks, snares, and toms in your recordings with a massive library of professional drum samples. TRIGGER’s phase accurate multi layered triggering engine lets you seamlessly trigger 8 stereo samples simultaneously such as a close mic sample, stereo overhead sample, and a stereo room mic samples. Or, mix many direct mic samples to develop your own custom unique sounds. This multi-channel triggering functionality allows the user to recreate the sound of natural drums with real multitracked samples. Each sample layer has parameters for customization such as velocity and dynamic control, attack, sustain, release and independent levels.
When using TRIGGER, you will hear tight, phase accurate drum triggering without unwanted mistriggers, flamming, or phasing. Kick samples line up tight with the original kick drums, snare drum transients align perfectly, and tom fills come out exactly like the original tracks.
Trigger has the unique functionality to be set in a way that in can automatically be instructed to NOT trigger certain leakages on a drum track using its Leakage Suppression mode. Using the Leakage Suppression technology you can trigger a drum track with 100% accuracy even if this drum track has many loud bleeds from other drums.
Trigger comes with three latency modes, and can work with live triggering using a 4ms LIVE MODE.
