TUPANS X3M

Inspiriert durch den Sound aktueller Blockbuster

Strezov Sampling realisierte mit Tupans X3M eines der zur Zeit wohl am meisten gefragten Instrumente. Inspiriert durch den Sound aktueller Blockbuster liefert diese Library die bis dato noch nicht verfügbaren bulgarischen Tupan Drums für KONTAKT. Aufgenommen in den Sofia Session Studios bietet Tupans X3M insgesamt drei Ensembles (a8, a3 & Solo), darüber hinaus wurden weitere für dieses Instrument eher unkonventionelle Spielweisen aufgenommen (Brushes, Mallets).

Zusätzlich zu dem authentischen Sound der Tupan Drums wurden 3 Sets an handgemachten Sound Design Percussions drauf gepackt, diese entstanden aus dem Material vorangegangener Produktionen wie z.B. Thunder X3M.

The X3M Percussion Engine

The concept behind the this engine is fairly simple – the keyboard range is divided into 12 zones that you are able to assign different sounds to. After making the template of your choosing just plug in and play – nothing else needed!

In addition to that the engine also allows you to tweak individual zones, as well as the whole mapped ensemble patch with various effects and mic positions. Combining these with the natural and organic recordings you have maximum flexibility when it comes to sound.

Once you load up the X3M Ensemble Builder you automatically load all samples inside the “Samples” directory. However, the instrument is built in such a way that it actually keeps all samples purged, unless you load them up into a zone. This means that not only you have a single patch with all types of percussion you might need, but it is also optimized and doesn't hurt your RAM ressources in any way!
