Goran Grooves Handy Drums- Studio Legend

Pre-Mixed, Ready-To-Use Studio Drums

• Get that legendary sound at your fingertips without spending a century studying and replicating the drumming and engineering greats that made those drums so famous.
• We poured in our knowledge and years of experience carefully setting up recording sessions to sample and bring you these authentic sounds in a handy, ready-to-use package.
• With just the right blend of close mics, overheads, and room mics, expertly sculpted for a full, punchy, natural-sounding drum set, it will sit right into your mix.

Easy To Use and Manipulate

• It’s as easy as loading the Studio Legend plug-in, sending your favorite midi groove to it, and being ready in a few minutes. We did the time-consuming work to get you a finished drum sound right out of the box. You are free to focus on the musical aspects of your track.

The intuitive interface still allows for plenty of tweaks to suit your taste.

Critically-Acclaimed Drum Sound

• Drum sounds behind the hit drum machine are here for your DAW.
• Goran Rista, the producer of Handy Drums, used the same recording and production techniques he did for BeatBuddy’s original drumsets, an award-winning, best-selling drum machine.
• The revered drum sounds that have made the BeatBuddy such a hit with live performers are now available in their expanded versions for your recording needs.

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 work behind the simple user interface to provide a seamless experience.
• Access all of the essential functions intuitively.

Multiple Dynamic Levels

• Each drum and cymbal was sampled at numerous dynamic levels to ensure the instrument’s fullest dynamic range when played back. Handy Drums Studio Legend contains up to 12 dynamic levels per instrument.

Round Robin

• Up to 10 samples per dynamic level
• No human plays subsequent drum hits identically regardless of how great a musician they are. This is one of the things that makes it sound so beautiful and real to our ears. The constant change is intrinsic to a realistic drum sound
• That is why in Handy Drums each drum and cymbal have been sampled numerous times at every dynamic level. During playback, no sample is repeated sequentially, but a different sample is triggered.

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 just as important. We paid close attention to every detail such as: skin selection, tuning, placement, room, mic choice and placement to name but a few.
• They are captured using the highest-quality mics, pre-amps, and converters to preserve every little detail.

Unparalleled Realism from Virtual Drums

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

Mixer

• While Handy Drums come pre-leveled as they would naturally occur in an acoustic environment, 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 favourite compressor, tape sim, reverb, EQ, phaser or other FX plugins to further manipulate Handy Drums’ individual components. Output each drum component 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. Studio Legend’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 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.
• The variable Hi-hats alone contain over 700 samples.
• In addition to variable hats, standard open/close/foot hats are also included for better compatibility with GM drum loops. As a bonus, included is foot splash hi-hat articulation on B1.

Adjustable Cc4 Curve (Variable Hats Foot Controller)

• Using Handy Drums with electronic kits is just as easy and pleasurable. You can even adjust your hi-hat foot controller curve which is particularly beneficial for drum modules that do not output the full MIDI value range from 1-127.

Bonus Percussion

• The Studio Legend comes with several bonus percussion instruments and their dedicated mixer tab, for additional colors and better compatibility with the rest of the Handy Drums plugins range.

The Following Percussion Elements Are Included

• handclaps, fingersnaps, tambourine, cowbell, shaker, triangle, and metronome sounds.

Bonus Percussion

• The Studio Legend comes with several bonus percussion instruments and their dedicated mixer tab, for additional colors and better compatibility with the rest of the Handy Drums plugins range.

Resizable GUI

• The high-definition interface can be adjusted to be as large or as small as you need to suit your computer monitor best.

Perfect For Drum Replacement

• Sometimes it may become necessary to replace drum sounds of an already recorded acoustic drum track in order to meet the needs of a particular track. (Maybe you have a great drum take but someone knocked over a mic or two during recording and now you have a problem)
• Drum replacement to the rescue.
• 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.
