Native Instruments ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS

German audio software developer Native Instruments introduced ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS, the second instrument developed together with the iconic British recording studios. Providing two expertly engineered classic drum kits for use in the free KONTAKT PLAYER and the KONTAKT 4 sampler, ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS delivers the essential punch and flair for typical Seventies sound aesthetics and various modern music styles. At the heart of ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS are two sought-after drum kits of the Seventies, a Premier and a Ludwig, both painstakingly recorded in Abbey Road's legendary Studio Two renowned for its unique acoustic properties. All samples were captured using Abbey Road's profound engineering expertise and outstanding arsenal of vintage equipment. Classic microphones from the studios' famed collection, the exclusive EMI TG mixing desk, an analog 2-inch tape machine and other authentic outboard gear all contribute to the charismatic and genuine sound of ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS (watch the Tutorial and Recording Session videos for more information). The software can be used as a stand-alone instrument or as a plug-in (VST, AU, RTAS) on Windows or Mac OS X workstations, full version costs 99 EUR. [source]
