Product Description

• Breaker is all about the breakbeat
• DIY-style. This hi-fi/lo-fi old/new school bastard was born to be broken
• bruised
• pumped
• slammed
• blown-out and beat to hell. Soundiron set out to find the essence of classic versus iconoclastic. Their goal was to build a big
• fat and extremely diverse drum palette that evoked an equal blend of warm
• ‘70s funk and cold
• hard ‘80s electro and pop. Soundiron created a drum library that is truly electro-organic: authentically electronic in sound but organically playable
• providing the best of both worlds. First
• Soundiron captured a huge collection of over 80 pristine multi-sampled drum kit and auxiliary percussion elements
• all bone dry and up close
• with 8 velocity layers per note. Then they multitracked and re-sampled them
• stacked tightly and a dozen layers deep
• to grab a ridiculously tight
• rich
• aggressive and punchy tone and an ultra-wide
• vibrant stereo field. Then they piped them through old analog signal paths
• to induce a little crud and mild generation loss
• with a generous helping of extra gain
• pushing the sound straight over the edge into a fat
• saturated
• tonal beast. The tone is ripe to be chopped
• diced
• sliced
• flipped
• trashed
• drilled
• derezzed
• degraded and granulated. It's geared toward hip hop
• electro
• soul
• funk
• breakcore
• drum n' bass
• garage
• techno
• glitch
• 2-step
• trip hop
• illbient
• dub-step
• house
• and whatever fusion you can imagine. The sonic character can take digital
• tape
• or tube distortion and FX of all kinds and soak it all right up. The sound is fat
• dirty and raw right out of the boombox
• but a twist of a knob or two and you've got a searing
• brutally crisp jungle kit ready to go. For Breaker 2.0
• Soundiron added a Remapper feature in an efficient four layer GUI to help you quickly get your groove on. They also created brand new ambiences and atmospheric pads from the raw source recordings
• as well as 20 new custom FX presets to give you instant inspiration for your next beat. Contents The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell
• attack
• release
• offset
• vibrato
• filter
• pitch (coarse & fine)
• articulation switching
• cross-fading and layering
• and so much more. Soundiron have also included 20 unique sound-designed custom FX presets to give you lots of creative options. This library comes with an adaptable LFO system
• with selectable LFO shape
• modulation target parameter
• speed
• intensity
• tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass
• high-pass and FX filters
• with assignable modulation targets such as velocity
• modwheel
• expression
• after-touch
• key position and step-sequencer table control. The customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction
• timing
• swing
• randomization and duration. Soundiron have included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance. The interface is rounded-out by the modular FX rack panel

• in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser
