[@CharlieRobbins]

Sounds great! Congrats on the release!

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Thanks a lot Charlie! Hope all is well!

[@nathanstatham]

Snoozy trinket…. I see what you did there 😂 love it!

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Yoooo.... hahaha! Nice. \m/

[@WrongSideOf50Drummer-hj9ol]

That snare sounds amazing!

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Thank you! There's 10 snare options total in Monarch. \m/

[@WrongSideOf50Drummer-hj9ol]

@@rsdrumsofficial That's good to know - I do love the default kit snare though, just the sound I am after. Reminiscent of The Cult and also Billy Idol's - Rebel Yell - recorded live in Chicago 2009.

[@rsdrumsofficial]

@@WrongSideOf50Drummer-hj9ol Glad to hear it! Thanks for the kind words.

[@SamiK1989]

These sounds AMAZING. I'm pulling the trigger on this one now, thank you!

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Hope you like the drum library!

[@KNITTEDmusic]

Grabbed the kit yesterday upon release. So far, it’s awesome. The one shots for toms were an awesome addition! Also being able to have rimshot flams with adjustable speed?! Hell yeah. I’d love to see more content surrounding the kit. Walkthrough, the kit being used within a mix, a mix breakdown, anything that showcases and gets people more involved and in tune with RS Drums. You guys make the best libraries. Monarch is great, but I don’t even see myself moving on from Fairview. I’m going to purchase just about anything you guys release. I own all the groove packs, and one of the one shot packs. Keep it up. Love the products.

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Really happy to hear that! I was pretty excited about those added features. So really appreciate the feedback. Hope you enjoy the new kit! \m/

[@lucaslby]

I have to grab this one 😵 Sounds aaawwesome

[@YunQiPan]

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Thank you!

[@ZagadochnyPrince]

Sounds great 😸 👍🏽

[@lenzlambrecht6925]

How are all of These presets so good, can't wait to try them Out later

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Glad you like them! Let us know which one ends up making it into a mix.

[@Reapertips]

i love it!!

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Thanks a lot!

[@justin1603]

We come to the point where you can do pro records with plugins....and if you play & programm them well you can do an finished album....its amazing

[@Liescomefromtheright]

Punch and pop, just the way I like it.

[@pellefsen]

Wow! I love everything about this package, the versatility, the sounds, everything . I know it´s Anups kit and all, but I just want to say that some octobans would make this a complete winner. How about recording 4 octobans in the same room an add them to the Monarch as a 2.0 upgrade?

[@pellefsen]

(Yes, I’m a huge fan of Dream Theater and Mike Portnoy)

[@rsdrumsofficial]

@@pellefsen Thanks for the kind words and feedback! Very happy to hear it. Octobans would be a lot of fun! Unfortunately, I don't own any to sample, but definitely could be cool to do in the future.

[@Emm_R_Guitar]

Sweet, Did I see an aftertouch switch there in the screenshots?... I cant wait to see the Ekit set up / playthrough tests.

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Yes! We added aftertouch. I'll be releasing a video soon about setting up Monarch with an E-Kit.

[@Emm_R_Guitar]

@@rsdrumsofficial amazing - thanks for listening to your users!

[@rsdrumsofficial]

@@Emm_R_Guitar Absolutely! We're always looking for ways to provide updates as needed. So all of the feedback is super helpful.

[@SenseiKreese]

Holy shit, this is exactly what I've been looking for, I'm so sick to death of the downtuned snare thing, I play funk metal, I need it to crack and snap like this.

[@bjquebedeaux3597]

Is there any way to use these amazing drum loops on an ipad by any chance?

[@rsdrumsofficial]

These grooves are only for this demo, but Monarch does come with it's own unique groove pack of 100+ grooves and fills.

[@KMMUSIC87]

is this a standalone vst? or does it need something like kontakt. And, are there grooves included?

[@rsdrumsofficial]

You'll need Kontakt Player (free) for Monarch. And yes, Monarch does include it's own unique groove pack with 100+ grooves/fills.

[@pedrovanzeler1185]

Amazing kit! Even more amazing snares! Just one question, are the plug ins you can add, like tape, from NI or did you guys program them?

[@rsdrumsofficial]

Thanks a lot! You can add processing within the instrument, which do include some of the built-in processors for Kontakt. However, these will not apply if you're using multi-out routing. It will only affect audio coming out of the default outputs.

[@pedrovanzeler1185]

@ I was curious because I really liked the tape. Ahah The Reverb IRs were a nice touch as well!

[@rsdrumsofficial]

@@pedrovanzeler1185 Thanks a lot! Really happy to hear you're enjoying it.

[@ashthereverseflash]

Do these midi files playing right now come with the drums!?

[@rsdrumsofficial]

These grooves do not, but Monarch comes with it's own unique groove pack of 100+ grooves and fills. We also send out free grooves monthly if you're signed up for our email list, and these grooves may be part of one of those emails coming up.

[@ashthereverseflash]

@rsdrumsofficial oooh hell yeah, I’ll be coping "The Monarch Kit" Black Friday, the snares are incredible with this one, definitely will be signing up as well, free midi packs !? I live for that since I’m a guitar player, appreciate the feedback.

[@rsdrumsofficial]

@@ashthereverseflash Awesome! Yea, we send out a few MIDI files every month to email subscribers, and these will work with both Monarch's and Fairview's groove player. Just need to install like any other MIDI groove pack.
