Product Overview

Pacific Percussion is part of the larger Pacific library, featuring a diverse range of percussion instruments. This library emphasizes repetition sampling techniques, allowing for dynamic and expressive performances across various percussion types, including anvil, bongos, low drums, cymbals, snare drums, tenor drums, and more. The inclusion of multiple speeds for repetitions enhances playability, making it suitable for both fast-paced and nuanced compositions.

Details

The library includes a variety of percussion instruments, such as six separate low drum patches, multiple anvil patches, and both snare and tenor drums with options for snares on and off. The sampling captures a high dynamic range, with many patches offering between 12 to 18 dynamics. Instruments are recorded in an ambient hall, utilizing close, section, and main/far mic positions to provide a rich sonic environment. The repetition sampling allows for up to four speeds, with the fastest speed designed to approximate playable rolls, triggered by the speed of performance. This feature is particularly useful for creating realistic rhythmic patterns.

Controls within the library allow for independent manipulation of different drums within a patch, enhancing the ability to create complex textures. The interface includes volume sliders and stereo image controls, which can be adjusted to suit the desired mix. Additionally, the library offers multis such as "Jungle Chase," "Moon Chase," and "Orchestral Tutti," providing pre-composed combinations of instruments for immediate use. Overall, Pacific Percussion is designed for composers looking to incorporate detailed and dynamic percussion into their scores, suitable for cinematic and orchestral contexts.
