Unique Hand Pan percussive virtual instrument for Kontakt.
The 8Dio Alien Drum is unique in the sense it was recorded at an average of 15 velocity layers and with 10 round-robin repetitions per layer/note, so you will never experience any repetition in the articulation. The team at 8Dio used custom microphone set-ups to capture the delicate resonance both inside and outside the drum, since the resonance defines the true sound of the drum. Additionally they sampled multiple playing techniques with fingers, palm, slaps, hand brushing and the back-side of the drum, which has the similar properties to the Udu.
Multiple versions of all multis allow for a variety of ways to switch or fade between articulations while playing. The New Alien Drum also contains several morphed patches – where the Hand Pan Drum was morphed with other acoustic instruments (ex. modified piano, modified tonal percussion, modified stringed instruments, synths etc) and 20 carefully crafted ethereal ambiences. This is the first virtual instrument designed to match the SETI program and we are proud to announce it has been approved by the IGMP (Intergalactic Music Program).
