| AN
ENTIRE PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Virtual
Drumline™ has
made its mark as the industry standard for marching
and concert percussion sounds. Composers, percussionists,
studio musicians, and educators alike will discover
a sonic onslaught of variety in Virtual Drumline,
featuring the world champion percussion section of
the Santa Clara Vanguard. Using Virtual Drumline
along with your favorite music composition software
will arm you with an enormous palette of percussive
possibilities.
ENDLESS VARIETY AND
DETAIL FOR ULTRA REALISM
Virtual Drumline is not just about marching drums.
Its huge collection of orchestral, world, effect,
drumset, rhythm section, and drumline instruments
are programmed with virtually any articulations and
playing techniques imaginable. Enhanced multi-sampled
velocity layers, attack/release and EQ control, multiple
mallet selections, rolls, glissandi, solos and ensembles,
and automatic RH/LH alternations are but a few of
the powerful features programmed into the VDL instrument
collection.
NO SAMPLER REQUIRED!
The entire VDL library
integrates seamlessly into Native Instruments'
powerful Kontakt™ Player
2 (included). There is no need to purchase
a separate sampler program. This player is
capable of loading up to 64 channels of MIDI
in stand-alone mode or can be run as a VSTi,
AU, DXi, or RTAS plug-in within various music
applications. It is a Universal application
compatible with Intel/G5 Macs or Windows
and will incorporate seamlessly into Sibelius
5 or Finale 2007, which both come with built-in
support for Kontakt Player 2. |
