Goran Grooves Handy Drums- ReGoran Groovesae Standard

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. Handy Drums do not require a rocket scientist to operate. An elaborate design of over 50 samplers and intelligent algorithms are working behind the simple user interface. We did the tweaks, so you don’t have to. 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 is coming through when played back. Handy Drums Reggae Standard contains up to 10 dynamic levels per instrument.

Round Robin

• Up to 12 samples per dynamic level
• When a drummer hits a drum, each subsequent 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 by a computer. Each component has been recorded numerous times at every dynamic level. During playback, no sample is repeated sequentially, but a different sample is triggered.

24bit Sample Depth

• All Handy Drums samples are captured 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 as important. For example, this can include drum and skin selection, tuning, damping, room positioning, mic positioning, mic choice, etc. to name but a few. All of this gets done before even a single note is recorded. Handy Drums Reggae Standard are captured using the highest-quality mics, preamps, and converters to preserve the tiniest details.

Unparalleled Realism from Virtual Drums

• Sound so natural; you can almost touch them.
• The Reggae Standard sounds like an actual drum set 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 width of acoustic drums and their natural room ambiance, then meticulously editing and mixing them in post-production.

Mixer

• While the Reggae Standard comes pre-leveled between components, you still have the option to tweak and automate individual drum components to suit your taste. More kick or snare. You got it.

Adjustable Drum Mapping

Handy Drums conform to GM drum mapping wherever possible. Import any standard midi drum loop onto your DAW timeline to hear instant results. You can also easily match the mapping of Handy Drums to any other custom midi drum loop.

Multiple Outputs

• Handy Drums Reggae Standard has eight separate stereo outputs so that each drum component can be routed and processed independently. You can use your favourite compressor, reverb, EQ, saturation, or other FX plugins to further manipulate Handy Drums’ individual components.

Variable Hi-Hats

• One of the features we are most proud of.
• An acoustic hi-hat is a complex instrument in its own right. Handy Drums’s variable hi-hats utilise the full range of sampled hats from tightly closed to closed, 25% open, 50% open, 75% open, and 100% open, for both edge and tip 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)

• E-drummers who want to use Handy Drums with their electronic drum kit can adjust the hi-hat foot controller curve with ease. The curve is particularly beneficial for drum modules that do not output the full value range from 1-127.

Bonus Percussion

• To improve your Reggae track groove and pop, we have included a collection of percussion instruments with their dedicated tab and volume controls.
• The following percussion instruments accompany the Reggae Standard, as an added bonus
• Handclaps, fingersnaps, bottles, tambourine, cowbell, shaker, triangle, woodblock, cabasa, and metronome sound.

Audition Buttons

• Hear quick previews of the individual components by clicking on the icons. They will play at random velocities.

Resizable Gui

• Throw away your microscope. Adjust the size of the high-definition interface as large or as small as you need to suit your eyes best.

Perfect For Drum Replacement

• Sometimes producers or mixing engineers find that the acoustic drum tracks on the recording are not ideal for the track and so using drum replacement may become necessary to get the desired result.
• Our Reggae Standard sampled drum instrument is an ideal drum replacement contender. If your DAW can extract transients from an audio, it is a simple task to make a MIDI track from it and route it to Handy Drums VST instrument. Instant punch and presence!
• Alternatively, you can also use a dedicated drum replacement tool such as appTrigga3.
