Amazing products just magical ❤

[@klevgrand]

[@pthomas36]

Looks super cool! Definitely going to check this out because I seem to always be looking for drum expression tools.

[@klevgrand]

Sweet!

[@macronencer]

I knew you guys would come up with something interesting, and the separation between slots and triggers is a nice idea.

[@klevgrand]

We agree! Cheers!!⚡️

round robin is great and makes the kits sound very natural! the UI is great and does so much but never feels overwhelming

Cheers!

[@toitoitoy]

I wish this had a Borsta sequencer...

[@jarkkojs]

Product itself: awesome. I have not tried a single preset yet. I needed a kit for a track so I though that let's build it in OneShot to try it out and everything made total sense :-) Usually it is other way around: I skim few presets and forget the plugin for a month or few before trying it next time. Did not have to learn how to use this one.

[@mdk1983]

That is intelligent architecture in action. Major design patterns like Chain of responsibility, Decorator all put to good use. With one perfected component aggregate, very easily replicated to a 3x3 matrix, with cross cutting functionalities externalized to global. Well done Klev. I can already see a long product roadmap with such scalable architecture. All the best!

I would really like the ability to trigger this from audio - I do a lot of drum replacement / augmentation when mixing - this would work well for that if I could trigger from audio track / level. I don't want to generate midi triggers from the audio first as that as is generally less effective / consistent in terms of timing / phase. it also missing polarity / phase switch at the moment?

[@jeandoyon7532]

A very interesting multisample drum sampler, well done!!! On top of its all, if you ever add the possibility of adding velocity modulation to different parameters of the sampler (e.g., amp attack and decay, sample start point, pitch env, etc.) for one shot samples (i.e., with a single sample layer) that would be a very appealing drum sampler in my book … along with the possibility of mapping and using an electronic hi-hat pedal foot controller to control the decay or opening of a hi-hat slot(s). Just a few wish list and suggestions for future updates! Again, great work ! It looks like a very promising drum sampler and multisample library so keep up the great work! ;)

[@klevgrand]

Cheers!

[@Garflips]

Unfortunately the omission of velocity modulating the filter cut off or any parameter other than sample layer is a deal breaker. The more MIDI expression control the better.

[@jeandoyon7532]

@@Garflips Agreed! Personally, as much as I find the multisample layering of their drum sampler very interesting and well implemented , it is a little ironic that they called it OneShots when it is not really designed for expressive one shots, but for multi samples. The drum sampler Blank by Soniccouture is to such ends a much better drum sampler for the design of expressive one shot drum samples.

[@Garflips]

@@jeandoyon7532 now if blanks was to let you drop in a dozen samples for round robins with random, no repeat available then it would really be over the top because the modulation capabilities combined with round robins would easily make up for not having samples in velocity layers. I have Soniccouture's latest AC-DR library and it is one of their best yet in terms of round robins, layers and expression.

[@hasan7786]

Going to assume you can add non-percussion one shot samples in there as well which opens this plugin up even more. Saw the marimba pack and thought "what else can I throw in here". Wish all drum plugins had sequencers but you cant have everything. Bought the ALM Motto drum machine and im like "why dont all drum machines have a simple sequencer with parameter locks. Automatically makes it fun to program versus automation in a DAW or using a piano roll to program drums which I just dont do well.

[@KlemenKotar]

As always, very musical demo/overview by Klebgrand. This thing needs a sequencer and bunch of sequences played by Noa :)

[@torley]

OneShot brings together some nifty things, and I'm trying the demo, but I'm having performance issues loading kits. Takes 3-5 seconds to load most of the acoustic kits and show the "Opening Preset" window. This makes it a slog to browse quickly and it's lot slower than expected on a Mac Studio M2 Ultra, especially relative to my experiences with XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2 and others that load kits with round-robins and a lot of multisamples in less than 1 seconds. Can anything be done to improve the responsiveness, maybe background streaming?

[@SunJuice_]

The same issue, loading presets on Windows takes 6 seconds, too slow, while loading on XLN Audio Additive Drums and Battery 4 only takes less than 1 second

[@klevgrand]

[@klevgrand]

[@abolit]

Thanks for the video. Is there any way to save the imported samples (multiple) as a drum kit WITH all samples along w/o going to each slot and save the individual sample in user's folder?

[@PieterSchlosser]

Looks/Sounds great! Can you have faders/pots etc midi learn?

[@klevgrand]

Yes you can!

[@vladrileynavilys]

can it be opened in Maschine ? Using the pads and sequencer ?

[@crisloor5]

Hello, does this work with the Boss Dr-770? Can I use the pads or rhythms of the dr 770 to control the sounds of the samples?

[@klevgrand]

If you can get out midi data from your boss dr770 then it should work!

[@Garflips]

Needs velocity as a modulation parameter as in control over frequency cutoff and resonance as well as over the amount of effect the envelopes have as in mod level. Add those features as well as non-repeating random sample selection and forget the price increase and you'll reap a lot more sales, IMNSHO.

Looks fabulous but a big commitment/investment in learning and setting it up for work. I already have my hands full with Jamstix/Jamcussion (an infuriating but rewarding beast) along with other Klevgrand percussion focused plugins (I love Klevgrand and have several plugins) so will probably pass on this one as it'll distract me to much from getting song recordings done (I'm a musician first and foremost)

[@agmcusimaziya397]

Awesome Stuff Guys...ONE QUESTION THOUGH...CAN THIS PLUGIN BE USED AS A DRUM REPLACER LIKE SLATE TRIGGER OR ITS STRICTLY MIDI?

[@Temperjames]

you'll get a better answer if you make the question clearer... what do you mean?? This plays back samples via MIDI... as you can see. Slate Trigger can take incoming audio and then plays back samples internally, or externally from another sampler I dunno if that answers your question or not??

[@coleboillat7695]

[@tobytodelafontena]

This looks gorgeous, but the lack of a sequencer stopped my "instant buy" pathologic behavior 🧐. Do you plan to add one in a future update or not?

[@AnimusInvidious]

Wouldn't it be optimal to just connect your favorite sequencer to it?

[@klevgrand]

OneShot is compatible with all your favourite sequencers like the stock ones in every DAW👍

[@Brendan-Black]

​@@AnimusInvidiousExactly. I swear there's always someone waiting to swoop in with a silly complaint no matter what product is released. The plugin is called Oneshot, not SeqDrumShots or something. Lol. If you want a drum sequencer, then seek one out - there are plenty of them out there! But that's not what _this_ software was intented to be and it shouldn't be criticized for what it isn't and was never intended to be.

[@tobytodelafontena]

​@@Brendan-Black Exactly. (I swear there's always someone waiting to play dumb US Marshall, no matter the subject). Obviously! Where was my head? The plugin is called OneShot, which implies that there ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT HAVE A SEQUENCER, even if it is a drum plugin. Obviously. What an idiot, what a slimy little shit I am. Insult me, everyone, I deserved my fate, you've got my blessing. What a deep, deep shame to make such a stupid remark! Asking for a sequencer in a drum software... OMG!! In 20 years people of the world will still remember it thanks to Brendan Black who brought all this up to date and reestablished order and truth. Who would dare to put a sequencer in drum software? Toontrack? XLN? Wave Alchemy? Xfer Records? Soniccouture? Audiomodern? If you're looking for an idiot, look no further: it's me.

[@-------K-------]

Why is it called "Oneshot" if it has multi-velocity kits? I think marketing-wise it was a very bad decision to name this plugin "Oneshot". You'll unfortunately lose a lot of potential customers this way, as many people will think this is just another 'oneshot-type' drum plugin like Polyplex or Triaz. Which is a shame considering that this seems to be a very capable and powerful plugin.

[@Niowiad]

Velocity layers (rather than round-robin sorting) on slots don't take anything away from the fact that those reproduced samples are "one-shot" in nature, i.e. single-hit, non-loopable, non-sustained, and with a decaying volume envelope, typical of percussion.

[@-------K-------]

@@Niowiad That's not what "one-shot" typically means when talking about samples (especially drum samples). One-shot means that there's only one sample for that particular sound/instrument, meaning no velocity layers or round-robin variations.

[@Niowiad]

@@-------K------- I don't know where you got that idea from, but that's fine, I'll leave it at that.

[@hasan7786]

Named apprepriately I think. I wish it was called one shot sequencer and it had a sequencer. The ALM Motto drum machine was an instant buy just for the sequencer and parameter locks BUT doesnt have patch saving. So...take what you can get.

[@AnimusInvidious]

To my understanding, "oneshot" differentiates between loops vs single hits, not whether a sample has velocity layers / round robins.
