Description:

This collection of vintage drum machines was created from the original drum machine. Additionally, the sounds were modified with distortion algorithms, vintage reverb and transient enhancements to offer an even wider sonic palette.

The “VDM Complete” includes a self contained Reason ReFill featuring Combinator Redrum and NN-XT patches with “eye-candy” graphics that are reminiscent of the original drum machines. Also, an assortment of 125 blank Reason Combinator skins are included for you to customize your Reason rack.

For non-Reason users, the VDM Complete includes the “Sampler Collection” which has all the .wav files (1,448 Samples) and preset files for the following soft samplers:

• Apple Logic EXS24
• Digidesign Structure (All Versions)
• NI Battery
• NI Kontakt

Furthermore, all 1,448 of the samples in the collection are in organized folders for you to browse and load into any software or hardware device that uses the standard .wav format such as Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic, Sonar, Akai MPC, Roland MV, etc.

MSRP: $39.99.

Keymap makes it easy to create and edit sampled instruments on your computer, and with its tools and functions you can easily convert your samples in great sounding sampled instruments. Import your EXS24 instruments, loop your samples, use Harmonic Resynthesis to reshape sounds and use a variety of pitch detection mapping tools for getting to the result very quickly, without leaving the Keymap environment.

When you are ready to use your instruments in your music, you can export them as industry-standard Logic/Logic Express EXS24 instrument files and samples. Each sample file created by Keymap always contains full mapping details so that it can be imported in any sampler application.

Redmatica has created a series of videos that demonstrate how Keymap works – an example is avalable below.
