What Ministry Of Rock 1 does
The library is drawn from the EastWest Studio 2 rock drum sound and from bass guitar and guitar recordings made in the same sessions. The developer lists round robin samples for bass drums, snares, toms and hi-hats, and performance drum hits extracted from the recordings. Drumkits are optimized for use with Roland V-Drums.
The guitars are offered as truly playable rhythm and lead parts, both clean and distorted, and the guitar and bass recordings were made in dual amp configurations so the user can choose the amp and mix the sound. Bass material includes legato bass guitar samples and legato staccato repetitions, and the developer says the articulations were reverse engineered from actual performances.
Key features
- Drum round robins. Bass drums, snares, toms and hi-hats are sampled in round robin, and performance hits extracted from the recordings are included alongside them.
- Dual amp guitar recordings. Guitars and basses were recorded in dual amp configurations, so the user selects the amp and mixes the resulting sound.
- Clean and distorted guitars. Rhythm and lead guitar parts are provided in both clean and distorted tones.
- Legato and staccato bass. Legato bass guitar samples and legato staccato repetitions are included for bass parts.
- Articulation programming. The developer states the articulations were reverse engineered from actual performances, so the programming follows recorded playing.
Who it is for
The plugin suits producers and sound designers writing rock parts who want recorded drum, bass and guitar material from a single library, and mix engineers who want to choose between dual amp guitar recordings.
