Antidrum 3 is a mighty compendium of experimental multi-sampled percussion, melodic sustaining and special effects
instruments, created from a vast catalogue of field recordings, found sounds, prepared objects, unique surfaces and noisy
contraptions. It’s an extraordinarily powerful toolbox of musical paint, spanning a full spectrum with everything from
rich bass tones and boomers to tight clicks, clacks, zings, clanks and zips. But don’t let the name fool you — Antidrum 3
covers much more than just percussive content. We’ve captured electronics, tonally resonant surfaces, alarms,
appliances, electric toothbrushes, elevators, cattle, giant plate glass windows and all manner of other things to get some
awesome melody-making sonic flavors as well. We captured each of these sounds over a 3-year period throughout our
many travels around California and Texas, picking up everything from the mundane yet startlingly musical things you’d
find around the house to unique one-of-a-kind sounds we discovered out in the field. Open your mind and this library
can take you anywhere you want to go.
The library comes equipped with flexible control features, like attack, release, transient offset, dynamic swelling, filter
sweep and a robust Arpeggiator system that provides a full range of custom pattern generation options. There’s also a
complete DSP effects rack, including convolution reverb with dozens of unique spaces, such as cathedrals, churches,
halls, bunkers, garages, tunnels, chambers, rooms and plenty of otherworldly FX impulses to fully explore and endless
variety of strange and unexpected sonic manipulations.
Here’s just a rough list of the kinds of playable instrument sound banks you’ll find in Antidrum 3: aluminum pipes tones,
barbed wire plucks, bathroom percussion, recording studio construction sounds, office chairs, assorted furniture, cows,
sewer drain pipe impacts, drum circle loops and strikes, elevator sounds, fire extinguisher percussion, metal fence
percussion and dramatic effects, firework booms, parking garage percussion and effects, hotel room sounds, metal
clangs, scrapes and taps of all shapes and sizes, microwave ovens, playground stomps, toys, tape, windows, doors and
tons of sound designed boomers, stingers, impacts, effects, sustaining pads, leads and atmospheres all from the raw
organic Antidrm 3 source material. It contains 4221 samples, over 3GB of high quality content and 24 master presets for
Kontakt, each with key-switchable menu selection from a range of different sound bank options for each main category.
The creative possibilities are endless!
