You can think of percussion as the spice and flavor you sprinkle over the
top of your music to give it its unique taste and feel - unless of course
you're kickin some serious Latin grooves in which case your percussion
tracks need to seriously rock. No matter, SONiVOX has gone to the ends of
the earth to unearth one of the tastiest percussion libraries you've ever
heard -- Flying Hand Percussion. Produced by veteran sound designer and
composer Eitan Teomi, this exquisite selection of hand-held and exotic
electronic percussion instruments provides a quality and playability we
guarantee you haven't experienced before. And that's great news for your
music.
FlyingHand Features:
This exquisite library is recorded in high fidelity with multiple mic
positions, 24 bit samples, an extensive selection of articulations (styles
of playing), up to 20 dynamic samples (soft to loud) per instrument, and
up to 4 alternate takes per articulation. All in all, over 40,000 samples
packed into 4 DVDs of pure creativity.
But FlyingHand Percussion goes one big step further, something that no
other percussion library does. It intelligently helps you play those tracks,
makes your music sound so real you can practically taste it.
How does it get that good? Read on, and don't forget to check out the demos
and free instruments!
The Performance Tools:
"Legato Drumming" - FlyingHand Percussion includes a proprietary and unique
technique that intelligently responds to musical phrases, inserting musical
nuances and tonal variances that provide an added level of authenticity.
The result sounds very much like a real percussionist when they hit the drum
in a slightly different place each time or moves a hand across the drum head
creating a small scraping sound, etc.
Playable Keymaps - you need to be able to play a percussion library with
your own hands and have it sound real. So, all FlyingHand instruments are
keymapped for playability and remain consistent throughout all instruments,
which not only results in real sounding tracks, but allows for fast
production. Includes custom keymappings for the Zendrum MIDI Controller.
Virtual Room Impulses - FlyingHand Percussion through the entire recording
process from initial input to final mix. Included are custom made stereo and
surround room and hall impulses. These are delivered in a special edition of
the PsP Audioware Nitro Filterbank plugin, which is a long name for a really
cool effects plugin that puts your percussion tracks exactly where you want
to hear them in your mix.
