Stretch That Note release DruMM Elements

"Stretch That Note, the innovative and experimental arm of Samplecraze, have released the latest in their on-going range of the DruMM series. DruMM Elements concentrates on providing individual sample category modules: kicks, snares, claps and so on.

The first collection of six NI Kontakt drum modules concentrates on kick samples, and includes serious warping and dynamic mangling tools such as Sub Harm, Space, Saturation, Mash, Wreck, Presence and a host of others. Six sexy GUIs carrying 360 samples with manic tools affords the user an unprecedented level of control over sample manipulation, and ensures that the sheer size, depth and width of the results cannot be matched by others. DruMM Elements continues the STN philosophy of ‘if it can be warped, stretched, mashed or bludgeoned then so be it’.

Priced at $10 for each module or $50 for the set of 6, DruMM Elements is also available as stand-alone sample sets."

All demos created using DruMM, LEWD and PULSE!

Looking good, Eddie

cool, this makes my 'getting a decent pc' even more urgent

question: are these easily layerable (as your other products i think)? how does that actually work? (cause i can imagine havin two different tuned kicks playing at the same time (usually) doesnt sound to good for example)

also, are there obvious differences between the different numbered modules, or are they just different collections of samples?

Hey Anton,

I've written an article for Sound On Sound on how I create the layers. It will be out next week I think.

I am also creating a video showing advanced drum layering techniques using both phase cancellation and M/S and ADSR editing.

The modules are created to sit on top of each other. I have also made the samples available separately for those that don't own Kontakt.

Tuned kicks are a different matter and will need retuning individually so they sit together nicely.

The modules are collections of samples but designed to sit on top of each other, so, C1 will sit on another C1 from another module that has been designed to layer with any C1, and so on.

The DruMM Elements Series are better on their own as opposed to sitting on top of other modules as they have very specific effects and dynamics to create wide, deep and thick sounds. Apart from the chained effects and dynamics I have created at the back end of Kontakt I have also created IRs of very specific processes that are then coded to a knob or slider, Sub Harm being a good example.

Have a shufti at the videos and hopefully you'll find use for them

cool, i'll be reading that article and watching the video!

one question i didnt make clear enough i think: the different modules (for now only kick modules i believe), are there obvious differences (for example, one module is more 909 flavored, another one acoustic; or whatever other categories), or do they each contain a different, but comparable mix of samples? cause i have no idea how i would choose between them!

Yes, they will be complimentary to each other. I am still waiting for more demos to come through.

However, right now I have provided pdf manuals for all the products with sample lists etc.. plus demos for the majority of the DruMM series. The only ones I am STILL waiting for are the Elements and Epic series.
