Goran Grooves Handy Drums- Pop Brushes

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.
• Access all of the essential functions intuitively.

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 Pop Brushescontain up to 13 dynamic levels per instrument.

Round Robin

• Up to 12 samples per dynamic level
• When a drummer hits a drum, each subsequential strike 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 human and a single sample being played over again by a computer.
• Each drum and cymbal has been sampled numerous times at every dynamic level. During playback, no sample is repeated sequentially, but a different sample is triggered. This is particularly useful on Pop Brushesbeats which may use a lot of snare notes in succession.

24bit Sample Depth

• All Handy Drums samples are captured in 24bit wav format for the ultimate resolution and highest fidelity sound.

Immaculately-Sampled Acoustic Drums

• To achieve larger-than-life yet completely natural-sounding drums, every step of the sampling process is critical. Whether it is drum selection, skin selection, drum tuning, room selection and treatment, mic choice and placement they all play a part in achieving the desired result.
• All our samples are captured using the highest-quality mics, preamps, and converters to preserve every little detail.

Unparalleled Realism From Virtual Drums

• Sound so natural you can almost touch them.
• Handy Drums Pop Brushessound 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 this realism by recording the full breadth of acoustic drums and their original ambiance, then meticulously edited and mixed them in the post-production.
• The sound is very much like you are listening to the drums within a beautifully treated, compact studio room.

Mixer

• While all Handy Drums come pre-leveled between components, you still have the option to tweak and automate individual drum components to suit your taste. More kick, snare or hi-hat. 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 compressor, reverb, equalizer, saturation, or other FX plugin to further manipulate Handy Drums’ individual components. Output each drum components to any of the available eight stereo subgroups and independently process them.

Bonus Percussion

• Add additional color to your rhythm tracks and uplift sections by using percussion, included as a bonus with the Pop Brushesdrumset.
• As with other Handy Drums plugins, the following percussion elements come with their dedicated mixer tab
• Handclaps, fingersnaps, tambourine, cowbell, shaker, triangle, and metronome sounds.

Audition Buttons

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

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.

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.
• Pop Brushessampled 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.
