Overview
Extinction Level Event is one of the most natural and realistic drum libraries on the market. We meticulously sampled each aspect of our drums so that you had the most musical, dynamic layers possible.
We developed a custom mixing panel right into ELE where you can control drum bleed, microphone levels, and even bring in your own one-shot sample right into the instrument.
We also spent a LONG time creating amazing presets for you to use that’ll fit right into your songs… but the mixing panel includes all of the EQ and post-processing tools you need if you want to tweak and create your own sounds.
There is also a fully functional MIDI Groove Player inside of ELE. Now you can select the perfect groove for your music right within ELE and drag it into your DAW–without needing to program a single drum hit.
Did we mention that ELE runs in the Kontakt Free Player and is fully integrated with NKS? Yep. You don’t need to buy anything extra when you buy ELE!
ELE also makes MIDI-remapping a breeze, so if you prefer to play on an electronic drum kit or just want to change the notes for your drum map, it’s only a matter of a few clicks and boom, done!
Unparalleled Realism
Some drum libraries are a one-trick pony in that they do “the thing” and that’s the only “thing” they do. ELE brings realism to a whole new level and features:
- Full drum kit bleed that you have full control over
- A ridiculous number of dynamic layers, which means your ghost notes and rimshots will actually bring dynamic qualities into your music
- Tons of samples, no more annoying round-robins that are easily detectable and make it super annoying during double-bass or blast beats
- Tons of musical articulations that are actually useful so that you can create realistic hi-hat patterns, snare rudiments, and more
ELE allows for any style of music, from the softest dynamics found in jazz to absolute shotgun rimshots that you’ll need for heavy metal breakdowns.
Comprehensive Built-In Mixer
One of the things that can be annoying is having to open up separate plugins in various places when working with drums. We made it so that ELE is its own, complete package. You can change every aspect of the drum tone right within ELE itself.
With our new built-in mixer, you have everything you need:
- Two different EQ types
- Transient designer
- Compression
- Saturation
Don’t forget that you can also load up a one-shot sample to help beef up your drums… right within the built-in mixer. You don’t need any other drum plugin.. It’s all right in ELE.
Integrated MIDI Groove Player
We know, we know…
One of the most annoying parts about working with programmed drums is the fact that you have to program them!
This is even more annoying if you’re not a drummer… because how do you know which pieces of the kit to use? What about drum humanization? Which velocity settings should you use?
Say goodbye to all that.
These grooves were played by real drummers, so they have the feel and touch of a real performance… All you have to do is select which beat you want to use and drag it into your DAW.
Also Includes TCI Files!
When you get ELE, you not only get the Kontakt Drum Library. You will also receive Trigger2 (TCI) files of all the shells used in ELE. Allowing you to easily sample and replace recorded drums with ELE if you happen to own Trigger2.
Full Control Over Your MIDI
Do you want to create a specific drum map so you can play live on a MIDI controller? No problem. MIDI mapping is simple, easy, and fast. Within seconds you can totally remap the notes with ELE to fit your needs.
Additionally, you can re-route the audio outputs of ELE however you want, giving you full audio control of where you want signals to go in the DAW.
Up And Running In Seconds
Extinction Level Event runs on Kontakt Player by Native Instruments, which means it’s quick and easy to load it into your DAW.
Once loaded, you have a number of ready-to-go mix-ready presets that can get you started off with a bang. These are perfect for general songwriting or, hell, just use them in the final mix; why not!
Every page of the ELE instrument has been thoroughly designed and everything you need is literally one click of a button. No more menu diving, no more hunting for settings, less time looking for great sounding drums and more time playing with great sounding drums!
