'Voyager Drums' by Best Service brings you two power drum kits recorded and edited by the maker of "Artist Drums" and "Artist Grooves". This punchy and powerful sound is perfect for your Pop, Rock, Jazz and Funk productions. Also included for instant use are 360 MIDI grooves. Two different YamahaTM Drum Kits have been recorded from three different microphone positions.
'Voyager Drums' has been recorded from three different microphone positions with 24-Bits and 96kHz quality, five Round Robins and 16 velocity layers are used. Drums recorded in the Principal Studios near Münster, Germany. The finest equipment from SPL, API, Apogee as well as microphones by Neumann, Sennheiser, AKG, Rhode and Shure were used to achieve the best results possible.
Kit 1 is a Yamaha Maple Custom and Kit 2 is a Yamaha Recording Custom. PaisteTM Line Series cymbals were recorded with the Kits.
Each drum kit comes with three different instruments:
• Full Kit, direct, overhead and room microphones
• Overhead, direct and overhead microphones
• Direct, direct microphone only
You can set individual Attack and Decay times for all three microphone positions. Since the direct signal has been recorded in mono you can set your own panorama.
Trigger Samples:
The Trigger Sound allows you to enhance the natural sound of the bass drum (also available for snare and toms) with synthetic drum sounds. This way you can create new and exciting drum sounds. The trigger sounds have an individual Delay and Pitch control as well.
Effect Section:
The Effect Section has been designed for easy use. The compressor offers a selction of useful presets. The limiter helps you not to overload you signal. Using the equaliser and the distortion you can shape the sound to your taste.
The Arranger:
The arranger allows you to trigger MIDI grooves from within 'Voyager Drums'. These grooves will always be in sync to your sequencers speed. Select from five different speed presets, each containing 48 straight grooves, 12 triplet grooves and 12 fills.
The grooves have all been recorded according to the BPM settings, bringing you a total 360 individual variations. You can also find the grooves in your library folder as midi files for use in your sequencer.

Thanks to the Best Service Engine 2 you will enjoy a beautiful and easy to use interface and have easy access to all real-time performance parameters.
