Heavyocity DM-307 KONTAKT
DM307的样本来自于模块化的synth鼓、活的打击乐器和经典的模拟鼓机。总的来说，该库包含7.5 gb的未压缩样本(尽管这只使用了48gb的硬盘空间与NI的无损压缩)，超过3600个样本分布在1500多个预置。这个图书馆是一个免费下载的产品，它将与免费版本的Kontakt播放器合作愉快，或者，正如我在评论中所使用的，完整版本的Kontakt 5。安装和认证遵循了Kontakt的标准实践，我对这些步骤没有任何问题。
DM307是建立在大量的循环和单击样本集合之上的，它是各种预设结构和基于kontakt的声音操作工具，它们可以很长一段时间来定义该工具的内容。我将在一分钟内访问Kontakt接口，但是我们先从库结构开始。在最高层次上，预置是用7种工具和2种多类型的工具来组织的。许多单独的样本会出现在一些预设中，但它们呈现的方式，以及你能用它们做什么，在每种情况下都是不同的。

例如，DM307风格的套件乐器预置都是由五组声音组成:kicks, snares, hats、打击乐和铙钹/ FX。在每个工具包里，你可以在每个组中得到12个不同的声音(12个不同的踢腿，12个不同的snares，等等)在五个连续的键盘上映射。虽然您可以通过适当的MIDI注意触发任何这些声音，我们稍后会看到，这个接口包括一个五车道的网格编辑器，用于创建使用这五组声音的基于步骤的模式。Kit Groove工具基于样式包，但也包括一系列模式(用于五车道网格编辑器)。这些预置有很多，它们被组织成基于genre的主题，包括鼓和低音，Dubstep，电子，混合配乐，工业优势，拉丁和摇滚。
在这两种乐器类型中，声音本身提供了一个巨大的变化，从相当传统的声学鼓声到电子和模拟合成鼓的声音和没有处理。我可以很容易地想象出当代电影配乐中的基本声音，几乎任何现代电子舞曲的风格，以及先进的电子音乐。
Loop菜单组也以genre为主题，涵盖电子、种族混搭、混合评分、工业混搭、城市混搭和实用元素。每个预置都包含多个八度的映射循环，有些集中在一种乐器类型(snares，踢腿等等)，而在另一些中，你会得到一种不同的单工具循环的混合。后者是一个很有趣的实验;只要敲击键盘的组合，就能看到有节奏的有趣的鼓声和打击乐表演。你能立即创造出一些真正有趣和新鲜的电子节拍，这是一种令人尴尬的感觉。
原文
DM307’s samples are derived from modular synth drums, live percussion and classic analogue drum machines. In total, the library contains 7.5GB of uncompressed samples (although this only uses 4.8GB of hard-drive space with NI’s lossless compression) with more than 3600 samples spread across 1500 plus presets. The library is a download-only product and will work quite happily with the free version of Kontakt Player or, as I used for the review, the full version of Kontakt 5. Installation and authentication follows standard practice for Kontakt and I had no problems with any of these steps.
While DM307 is built upon this extensive collection of loops and single-hit samples, it is various preset structures and the Kontakt-based sound manipulation tools that go a long way to defining what the instrument is about. I’ll come to the Kontakt interface in a minute, but let’s start with the library structure. At the top level, the presets are organised into instruments and multis, with seven instrument and two multi types. Many of the individual samples will appear in a number of presets, but the way they are presented, and what you can do with them, will be different in each case.

For example, the DM307 Style Kits instrument presets are each built on five groups of sounds: kicks, snares, hats, percussion and cymbals/FX. Within each kit, you get 12 different sounds in each group (12 different kicks, 12 different snares, etc.) mapped across five consecutive octaves of the keyboard. While you can trigger any of these sounds via the appropriate MIDI note, as we will see in a minute, the interface includes a five-lane grid editor for creating step-based patterns using these five groups of sounds. The Kit Groove instruments are based around the Style Kits but also include a series of patterns (for that five-lane grid editor). There are plenty of these presets and they are organised into genre-based themes covering Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electronic, Hybrid Scoring, Industrial Edge, Latin Organic and Rock.
In both these instrument types, the sounds themselves offer a huge variety, from fairly conventional acoustic drums through to electronic and analogue synth drum sounds with and without processing. I could easily imagine the basic sounds working in contemporary film score, almost any style of modern electronic dance music and through into cutting-edge electronica. The Elements Kits each take a specific sound group — kicks, hats, snares, for example — and map a collection of sounds of that type across five octaves. The Impacts and FX group does something similar but with a series of much more unconventional sounds such as pitch dives, reversed hits, sweeps, sirens, risers and analogue hits. The Standard MIDI Kits map a selection of the Style Kits in a fashion suitable for standard third-party MIDI drum loops or a MIDI drum kit.
The Loop Menus group is also genre-themed, covering Electronic, Ethnic Mashup, Hybrid Scoring, Industrial Mashup, Urban Mashup and utility Elements. Each preset contains multiple octaves of mapped loops, some focused on one instrument type (snares, kicks, etc.) while in others you get a mixture of different single-instrument loops. The latter are great fun to experiment with; just hit a combination of keys and see what rhythmically interesting drum and percussion performances just pop out. The ease with which you can instantly create some really interesting and fresh electronic beats is just a touch embarrassing.
