Presentation
A-Kit is a set of 7 plugins (plus an
additional plugin to facilitate registration). They are available in VST,
RTAS, and AU formats, and require a sequencer set to (or able
to operate at) 44.1 kHz resolution.
These modules, driven by MIDI tracks, produce the sounds of a
drum kit. They allow you to set variations on velocity
and attack, which are driven by incoming velocity and pitch-bend
MIDI information. Each plugin is able to add modulation to the
velocity and attack thanks to the "velocity deviation"
and "attack deviation" parameters, which may be set
by the user for subtle or extreme results.
All settings may be saved as a standard preset file.

Specifications.
A 44.1 kHz sampler is incorporated into each module
of A-Kit. Thanks to a high polyphony, a more realistic
sound can be achieved on instruments with long resonance
and decay, such as cymbals and toms. The polyphony also allows
for a more realistic snare roll, since each small hit
within the roll does not cut short the previous one.
The sound bank is 45 MB of multi-samples, spread over
the 7 plugins, and reaching as many as 40 velocity layers per
instrument. This allows for a very realistic palette of sounds.
Set up an A-Kit module with a boring, static drum part. Set the velocity
and attack parameters to "alive" and you will
soon see that the setting lives up to its name. Of course,
using your favourite filters, compressors, and effects,
you may then tweak A-Kit's sound from within your sequencer to suit your
personal taste.
