Goran Grooves Handy Drums- Flamenco Percussion

Practical, Intuitive, Easy-To-Use Interface

• Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
• Antoine de Saint-Exupery
• Handy Drums do not require a complicated manual to use. An elaborate design of over 50 samplers and smart algorithms power your seamless experience behind the simple user interface.

Multiple Dynamic Levels

• Each drum and cymbal was sampled at multiple dynamic levels to ensure the instrument’s fullest dynamic range when played back. Handy Drums Flamenco Percussion contains up to 9 dynamic levels per instrument.

Round Robin

• Up to 20 samples per dynamic level
• When a drummer strikes a drum, each subsequential stroke is ever so slightly different from the one preceding, no matter how consistently they are played. That’s why our ear can instantly tell the difference between a roll played by a real drummer and a single sample being looped.
• Each drum and cymbal has been sampled numerous times at every dynamic level. During a playback, no sample is repeated sequentially, but a different sample is triggered. The result is a natural-sounding performance.

24bit Samples

• All Handy Drums samples come in 24bit wav format for the ultimate resolution and sound quality.

Immaculately-Sampled Acoustic Drums

• To achieve larger-than-life yet completely natural-sounding drums, every step of the sampling process is critical. Starting with the drum tuning, drums were carefully treated before even a single note was played.
• They are captured using the highest-quality mics, preamps, and converters to preserve every minute detail.

Unparalleled Realism from Virtual Drums

• Sound so natural you can almost touch them.
• Handy Drums sound like an actual drumset being played right in front of you in a room instead of a bunch of individual drums sounding in their own isolated spaces.
• We achieved realism by recording the full breadth of acoustic drums and their natural ambiance, then meticulously edited and mixed them in the post-production.

Mixer

• While the Handy Drums come pre-leveled between components, you still have an option to tweak and automate individual drum components to suit your mix. More kick or snare. No problem.

Adjustable Drum Mapping

• Handy Drums conform to GM drum mapping wherever possible. Drop in any standard midi drum loop onto your DAW timeline to hear instant results. Easily match the mapping of Handy Drums to any custom midi drum loop.

Multiple Outputs

• Use your favorite compression, reverb, EQ, distortion, or other FX plugins to further manipulate Handy Drums’ individual components. Output each drum components to any of the available eight stereo subgroups and independently process them.

Variable Hi-Hats

• An acoustic hi-hat is a complex instrument in its own right. Handy Drums’s variable hi-hats utilize the full range of sampled hats from tightly closed to closed, 25% open, 50% open, 75% open, and 100% open, for both tip and edge sounds.
• Despite these 12 types of articulations, multiple dynamic ranges, and round robins, you can seamlessly switch from one to another using only TWO notes and a CC4 controller.

Adjustable Cc4 Curve (Variable Hats Foot Controller)

• For e-drummers who want to use Handy Drums, you can adjust your hi-hat foot controller curve. The curve is particularly beneficial for drum modules that do not output the full value range from 1-127.

Dedicated Drums / Percussion Mixer Tabs

• Keeping in line with the rest of the Handy Drums plugin range, Flamenco Percussion comes with dedicated drums and percussion mixer tabs.
• As bonus percussion, fingersnaps and metronome sounds are also included.

Audition Buttons

• Quickly preview the sounds of the drumset by clicking on the icons. They will play at random velocities.

Resizable GUI

• Make the high-definition interface as large or as small as you need to suit your computer monitor best.

Perfect For Drum Replacement

• In a perfect world, there would be no need for drum replacements. Unfortunately, as producers or sound mixers, we are sometimes handed drum recordings of substandard quality, so to rescue the mix, drum replacement becomes essential.
• This sampled drum instrument makes for an ideal drum replacement contender. If your DAW can extract transients from an audio recording, it is a simple task to create a MIDI track from it and rout it to Handy Drums instrument. Instant punch and presence.
• Alternatively, you can use a dedicated drum replacement tool such as appTrigga3.
