Vir2 Studio Kit Builder brings together the most complete collection of acoustic drum kits ever delivered into one Kontakt-powered plugin. With 130 drum kit pieces and more than 50 prebuilt drum kits, you can create your perfect drum kit whatever your choice of style and genre.
In addition to the comprehensive collection of drums, you also get full control over multiple mic positions and multi-track mixing of the kit. The huge variety of built-in MIDI grooves make the job of creating pristine and professional drum parts simple whether you´re working on a sultry brush groove or a hard-hitting metal track.
From pop, rock and drum and bass, to blues, jazz, metal and beyond, this dynamic drumming virtual instrument is hugely versatile.
The main interface allows you to easily click-and-choose any kit piece, and thanks to the fast optimized load time, it´s possible to audition any drum or cymbal on the fly and build new custom kits within seconds. Shape the acoustics using the versatile mixer, which includes several high quality effects on every channel and bus for precise tonal shaping. For added flexibility, route individual mixer channels to separate outputs for traditional mixing in your sequencer. Studio Kit Builder quickly adapts to any workflow or style.
Over one thousand MIDI files across dozens of styles are provided to help build a drum track quickly. MIDI files can be dropped into your sequencer directly from the Studio Kit Builder interface.
Studio Kit Builder is powered by Kontakt Player 5 and integrates seamlessly into any modern VST, AudioUnit, or RTAS host sequencer.
