ABBEY ROAD 60s DRUMS provides astonishingly authentic sound as well as deep and detailed control. Everything you need to get the sound you want - from vintage to modern - is clearly laid-out in three control pages: Drums, Mixer, and Options.
On the Drum Page's top panel you can individually adjust the tuning, volume envelope, and overhead and room microphone mixes for each drum.
On the Drum Page's top panel you can individually adjust the tuning, volume envelope, and overhead and room microphone mixes for each drum. The kick drum has additional controls for adjusting the balance between microphones inside and outside the drum. Similarly, for the snare you can adjust the balance between the snare top and snare bottom microphones.
The bottom panel lets you select articulations for the selected drum. For example, selecting the snare drum will give an articulation menu showing the different types of snare hits such as center, halfway, rimshot, flam, roll and others.
Each articulation has its own volume envelope, with knobs for ‘Attack’, ‘Hold’, and ‘Decay’. One popular drum recording technique of the 1960s was to cover the snare and toms with tea towels, so samples of this technique are also included. In addition, each articulation can be assigned to a MIDI note, allowing you to fully customize your kit mapping.
