For each drum element, you can add up to five insert effects in Sampletank’s mixer in Multi mode, and process each one differently. The kits sound authentic, in part due to the dry quality of the analogue drum recordings. You can also play sounds using Sampletank’s virtual pad mode rather than a keyboard, and the pack also uses Syntronik’s DRIFT algorithm to add dynamic movement to samples. Beat Machines is also compatible with other Sampletank 4 kits, which makes for easy construction and layering. The kits are mapped to the general MIDI drum map standard, which means they can be used easily in any DAW. Loaded kits are mapped via MIDI and shown on Sampletank’s virtual keyboard, with a selection of 329 MIDI patterns that can be assigned to other keys for triggering, either for use in a track or just to hear what the kit sounds like when assigned to a pattern. Sampletank also lets you import your own samples for added flexibility. You can use the latter in Multi mode to build custom kits, perhaps mixing kicks from one model with snares from another and cymbals from a third, up to a total of 16 parts. In the Beat Machines library, you can filter the patches or select from the full list, and there are presets for whole kits as well single elements.
Since drum samples are relatively simple compared to piano samples, for example, this pack weighs in at a slim 1.6GB. Beat Machines is a collection of sampled analogue drums running in IK Multimedia’s Sampletank 4 CS.
