An external hard drive loaded with 122GB worth of stereo drum samples, mic setups, KONTAKT Player 2, and more.

Painstakingly sampled by multiple Grammy Award-winning engineer Tobias Lehmann at Teldexstudio Berlin, Germany's largest independent recording studio, the Mixosaurus Kit A is a 122GB drum library offering incredibly high fidelity and amazing detail. Powered by KONTAKT Player 2 (included) and Mac/PC-compatible with support for VST, AU, DXi, and RTAS formats, Mixosaurus Kit A comes pre-installed on its own rugged hard drive, ready for you to plug-in and start making incredible tracks within minutes.

A Mixosaurus Drumset is a KONTAKT Player 2 Multi consisting of up to 64 Drum & Cymbal patches. Each patch has its own controls for mic levels, filter, dynamics, envelope, and distortion (among others), and routes its multichannel audio to the various internal Output Busses. A multichannel instance will play the Output Busses through individual plug-in outputs. A stereo instance will sum all the Busses to the plug-in's stereo L/R outputs. Each Bus offers four insert slots for KONTAKT Player 2's internal effects algorithms (including Convolution Reverb). Effectively, this enables you to do DAW-style mixing even in a stereo instance, or to make quick adjustments when your multichannel DAW mix already is highly automated and you'd rather not edit the automation.

Led by longtime professional drummer and engineer Uwe Llietzow, the company behind Mixosaurus Kit A wanted to ensure musical expression and versatility came first. They believe that your music will benefit more from one totally playable and programmable drumset with serious mixing options, than from a multitude of kits comprising the all-too-standard set of limited articulations. One listen to a track created with Mixosaurus drum samples, and your concept of what a sampled drum kit sounds like will change forever.

The sample library is fully compatible with multiple VI formats, including Addictive Drums, BFD, DFH, EZ Drummer, and General MIDI, plus Roland, Yamaha, and other E-Drum kits. Works on Mac/PC.
