In creating the Protean Drums X Sample Library, E-MU sound engineers meticulously sampled acoustic drum kits in professional studios. The result is a diverse collection of over 500 presets. The range is from bread-and-butter kits to specialized R&B, stadium rock, jazz, and much more. Electronic drum samples and additional percussion instruments were added to round out the soundset, offering you every last drum sample of E-MU's popular PX-7 Command Station to cover every sonic eventuality. The Protean Drums X samples have all been optimized for E-MU's powerful filters, effects and synthesis architecture, giving you comprehensive hands-on control over all aspects of your sounds and performance from the moment you load your sounds. Add Protean Drums X to your E-MU Desktop instrument and dial in the perfect drum sound every time.<BR><BR>The samples were recorded at 24-bit/48kHz with several mics, mixed to stereo, then converted to 16-bit and mixed to mono. Each drum was sampled at a myriad of velocities. We preserved those velocity levels and picked the best matches to create instruments that had velocity switches built in. Some components are 8 samples deep! The results are drum kits with real room ambience and unequalled expressiveness. Electronic drum samples and additional percussion instruments were added to round out the soundset.
