Steven Slate Drums 5 Plus A Set

It would appear drum libraries are being packed with more and more content these days at more affordable prices and Slate Drums 5 is no exception.

But with more libraries and content, its becoming harder to impress customers.

Steven Slate Drums 5 Plus A Set

The latest instalment of Slate Drums ships with all of the legacy content from Slate Drums 4 Platinum, plus a set of brand new kits and cymbals.

After extracting the samples to your folder of choice, you must run the Slate Drums 5 plugin installer, followed by the sample installer, after which youre ready to go.

They still have a coldness or detached feel about them due to not having controllable snare bleed for the kicks and toms, but they work just as well now in louder genres than they did initially.

These kits do have a snare bleed channel for the kicks and toms, and it brings in that classic warmth and realism of a live drum sound.

That, coupled with a nifty snare ring channel (which really emphasizes the snare overtones for a great ping sound) and more detail in the sampling, makes these kits perfect for blues, funk, jazz, indie and more.

The drums are of course where this library truly excels, but there is an offset.

The video below covers this workaround along with showcasing the librarys sounds, and includes links to the NoteMapper plugin and some logical presets to get you started.

Everything else is just fine, and with a separate mapping plugin this becomes almost a moot point in the end.

Each articulations volume can be tweaked, and the usual controls for shaping the velocity and decay are all there.

Slate Drums 4 had it pretty bad and Slate Drums 5 has it pretty bad too.

Neither of them seem to make sense, and neither of them seem to get along, and whats left is an exasperating puzzle.

There is no way to copy an articulation to another key, so you must drag in multiple instances of kit pieces to achieve this and most of them automatically map to the same keys as their counterparts no matter what preset youve loaded, saved or tweaked.
