What Armory does
Users can browse Stagecraft’s catalogue and buy only the samples and presets they want. Stagecraft states that software should show visually what it does, so the interface is meant to make processing visible.
Advanced effects chaining lets any individual sample be routed through Stagecraft’s custom effects, so a kick can take a reverb or a ride cymbal can be given a glitch sequence. Armory is available as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and a 30-day free trial is offered.
Key features
- Advanced effects chaining. Individual samples can be routed through a chain of effects, and any of Stagecraft’s custom effects can be added per sample.
- Integrated sound catalogue. The instrument includes a large catalogue of drum sounds, with browsing of the library built into the plugin.
- Visual feedback. The interface displays processing visually, in line with the developer’s stated aim for software to show what it does.
