“Professional‑grade acoustic waterphones are relatively expensive, which makes the idea of a sample library, created by experts in the field, all the more appealing and cost‑effective. It’s a beautiful‑sounding and impressive Kontakt instrument, in line with the rest of Soniccouture’s catalogue of more obscure and inspiring instruments.”

“I absolutely love AC‑DR! All the sounds have been created organically, whether recorded via microphone, passed through an analogue processor or given character in a physical space. The raw sound‑sources are beautifully recorded, and the various methods and ingenuity used to create them results in a huge palette of unique source material to work with. The way in which each element can be manipulated beyond imagination is endlessly creative and incredibly addictive, and this is where the lines blur between acoustic and electronic. The fact that the instrument is based entirely on samples of natural acoustic drums appeals to the drummer in me, but you can also create the most remarkable ‘electronic’ sounds. In combination with the comprehensive beat creation tools that lend themselves to the more mechanical side of drumming, the AC‑DR can indeed ‘emulate classic drum machines of the past’ but it is much, much more than that — and very much worth adding to your VI arsenal.”

Mark Gordon tested out the Lumen for SOS, and said:

“I enjoyed playing the Lumen, a lot. It feels solid and well built, the pads are responsive, and the a long-lasting battery sets it apart from almost every other electronic percussion device I can sampled sounds are excellent. Having a built-in speaker (that actually sounds very good!) and think of, enabling it to work perfectly for busking, a favourite pursuit of acoustic players.”

“The Lumen takes a unique acoustic instrument into the digital age and is beautifully presented and well implemented. It’s a refreshing newcomer to the digital percussion scene.”
