BRING YOUR OWN SOUND

A Kontakt instrument with no samples. Another Soniccouture innovation.

Drag and drop your own samples onto the pads, then shape, warp & drill using our unique custom drum processors.

THE KONTAKT INSTRUMENT

THE SAMPLER PANEL

8 DRUM PADS
SHAPE TOOLS WITH VELOCITY MODULATION
DRILL SEQUENCER
CHANNEL + MASTER EFFECTS

Drag and drop your samples to one of the 8 pads. Choose vintage sampler modes, set up complex drilling rhythmns and create evolving modulations.

BEAT TOOLS: EUCLIDEAN BEATS

8 Euclid Tracks
Drag and drop MIDI patterns to DAW

Euclidean Beats is a revolutionary way of generating drum patterns; simpler than it first looks. Set any number of hits and any number of steps per track, and Euclid will space it all out equally for you. Generate creative grooves you never imagined within seconds - you can't put a step wrong.

BEAT TOOLS: BEAT SHIFTER

8 tracks with generative 'beat shifting' functions
drag and drop patterns to DAW
save and load patterns from disc

An 8 track step-sequencer with a difference - each track can be programmed to shift its notes as the beat plays, creating new beats as the patterns evolves. Sounds can be set to move a lot, stay completely still, or move incrementally while never losing their musical timing.

BEAT TOOLS: POLY BEATS

8 POLY-RHYTHMIC TRACKS
DRAG AND DROP PATTERNS TO DAW

Poly Beats is a new kind of drum sequencer from Soniccouture. Each track divides the bar into arbitrary subdivisions, or polyrhythms. Since each track can be set completely different from each other, polyrhythms can quickly sound very strange and unnatural. Definitely for the left-field.

DRILL GENERATOR

Create fast glitching or rolling, granular effects with Blank's custom Drill Generator.

Each drum can have its own effect, which you can trigger via the Beat Tools or by MIDI controller.

"Blanks will get you dragging, dropping and grooving in no time."

Sound On Sound Review

ONE-SHOT WONDER

Many massive grooves have been built with single hit drum samples.

A natural acoustic drum sound is not what you want for every track.

Here James shows you how you can bring life and movement to a beat using just four single samples.
