Great stuff. Thank you. Please implement this in Blanks and MoonKits also. Big fan of you plugs. ✌✌

[@normanlove222]

I really love the sounds. up my alley

[@synthtaxi4497]

Such a great tool. Thanks for this awesome update!

[@ThePickledOnions]

Really good update James thank you. Couple of things I'd like to see. 1. When in chance mode (green velocities) it'd handy to be able to maybe control or shift click empty slots to add actual hits while in chance mode for auditioning. 2. Seamlessly add hits over all bars instead of mouse drag currently stopping for each bar. 3. An extra drum lane in Block mode that gives us random fills/accents generator by velocity wherever they're placed. Don't know if that's possible lol 4. Need that reset menu in beat shifter on all your drum libraries unless I'm missing it. Great library!

1. This may be possible with next update 2. that's a limitation of kontakt I think.. 3. maybe email us with more detail abotu what you mean here 4. you can reset Beat Shifter by alt-clicking the circular arrow icon in the menu

Great work, looking forward to electro acoustic update.

[@SoniccoutureOfficial]

@@michaelgallagher7226 Yes, we should get to that soon. Any requests?

[@michaelgallagher7226]

@@SoniccoutureOfficial GUI in ACDR style or just the available options with regards to filters and envelope gains, 707 and 727 to complete classic Rolands and increased percussion. Modern machines such as a MFB 522 and Jomox + Elektron representation if possible. More slots available in sequencers if possible as well.

@@SoniccoutureOfficial I'd be happy just to get Blocks into the other drum libraries.

@@SoniccoutureOfficial I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring here. The TR-707 is just 'OK' -- I had one but it was incredibly limited. The Roland TR-626 (which is arguably a combination of the TR-707 and 727 anyway) and Yamaha RX5 would be worthy additions. Maybe adding the ability to LAYER sounds in a kit would be cool too! My big dream, though, would be a reimagining of the awesome Boss DR-660. I know integrating ALL those sounds into the Electro-Acoustic plugin might be prohibitive due to all the multi sampling that would need to be done, but a limited sound set would be amazing!

[@SoniccoutureOfficial]

@@rickrockzyootoob We will NEVER add layering, lol.. it is against my personal philosophy of drum design. EA is in fact an illustration of the fact that if you parallel process your drums you can add any kind of texture or layer you like while keeping things nicely aligned and in phase.

[@RafaelOliveiraBR]

Great plug-in.

[@normanlove222]

I would love to see how the export to midi looks in FL Studio. No one ever show that in FL 😊 It sometimes is different and cant drag.

[@SoniccoutureOfficial]

@@normanlove222 I’ll take a look at that for you

[@rickrockzyootoob]

Hi James!

[@bartvisser9968]

Wow nice. Is this sequencer going to be added to Sun Drums too?

[@SoniccoutureOfficial]

@@bartvisser9968 we hope to release it as a standalone midi plugin soon.

[@bartvisser9968]

@@SoniccoutureOfficial sounds good

[@theboofin]

@@SoniccoutureOfficial Would love to have that.

[@dj_instruments937]

Why does everything have to be for fucking Kontak? smh like Damn or at least make VST versions. Won't be buying this no time soon.

[@SoniccoutureOfficial]

@@dj_instruments937 Thanks for dropping by to say that.
