Scarlett Plug-in Suite is a program that provides a definitive suite of Compression, Gating, EQ, and Reverb for tracking and mixing. Each powerful plug-in has a host of fast and easy-to-use pre-sets, providing a great starting point for a huge number of popular sound sources, from vocals and guitars to synth bass and percussion.
One of the most significant advantages of Freetakt is that it offers a lot of features that are typically only found in paid sampler plugins. For example, it includes a built-in sampler mapping and editor, script editor and a variety of effects. The plugin also has an intuitive user interface, like Kontakt, making it easy to use and navigate. Overall, Freetakt is an excellent alternative to Kontakt, especially if you're on a budget. While it may not have all of the features of Kontakt, it offers a lot of value, considering that it's completely free
Please bear with us as our Freetakt software is currently in Beta and may have some instability issues. We are working hard to improve it and make it more robust, while keeping it always free for you. Thank you for your understanding!

IVGI can deliver very soft and subtle saturation, that feels at home on the master buss. It is equally capable of very dense and dirty distortion effects to spice up single tracks. IVGI's base sound is comparable to the DESK mode in the big brother SDRR.
Just as SDRR, IVGI reacts dynamically to the input signal. Even the modeled fluctuations react dynamically and also change depending on the drive setting, so that it doesn't get in the way of the
SOUND. Stereo tracks benefit from it's modeled crosstalk behavior.
Just as its big brother SDRR, IVGI features a Controlled Randomness, which determines the internal drift and variance inside the unit. It contributes to the liveliness and realness of IVGI's saturation character. To achieve this, all internal processes are modulated to some extent.
IVGI gives you a sensible amount of controls to manipulate the character of the saturation itself. It offers a unique ASYM MIX knob to alter the symmetry of the signal without affecting the harmonic content much.
IVGI also lets you alter the frequency dependency of the saturation with the RESPONSE control.
Hi, I made this instrument a couple of years ago. I wanted to try the entire process of sampling drum instrument. My old friend Michal Zubaty provided his own drum kit that he plays. I recorded his drum kit with his settings and tuning in a small room covered by a lot of carpets, blankets and acoustic panels to get tight, vintage, raw sound. I also used non-traditional mic settings – two mics in front of the drums. The first mic (Front MONO) is below and captures dense frequencies. The other one (Front STEREO) is above the cymbals and captures the high frequencies. This combination gives you better control over frequency balancing. This drum kit works well with rock, jazz or funky styles. Each drum was recorded with 8 velocity layers and 4 round robins.
Since there aren’t many free drum kits out there, I believe it will be useful to someone.
