M-Audio's Drum and Bass Rig is a virtual rack consisting of four instrument modules, compatible with most current software hosts both for Mac and Windows. The rack can be used either as a stand alone application or as a plug-in and delivers a wide variety of bass and drum sounds.
The RD-5 Real Drums module contains a host of sampled drum kits and percussion, while the EB-6 Electric Bass module delivers authentic bass fingering, picking, slapping and more. The LC-7 Loop Creator allows easy and flexible creation and playback of sampled loops and the BL-8 Bassline is ideal for creating electronic music bass lines.
The master MIDI/Mixer section of Drum and Bass Rig allows one to route, split, layer and mix these four modules in whatever way is best suited for the project. A master effects section allows for adding a common overall effect, which is in addition to the individual effect section included with each instrument
Key Features |
 |
The RD-5 Real Drums module features a comprehensive library of drum kits and individual drums in all styles, with control over tuning, tone, decay, panorama and level. Each kit also has adjustable overheads, room ambience and effects. All kits are GM-compatible and contain an additional standard percussion set. |
 |
The EB-6 Electric Bass module produces the sounds of authentically played electric bass guitars. The collection includes a large selection of finger, pick, slap and fretless sounds featuring slides, dead notes and harmonics. Also included is a built-in bass amp emulation with drive and tone controls, as well as an effects section for creative options. |
 |
The LC-7 Loop Creator is one of the most efficient and creative tools available for working with loops. Its pool of 250 source loops can be freely combined and flexibly manipulated by options such as slice-reordering, slice muting or group muting of ranges of slices. This module is designed for people who want their own loops but find it hard to create them from scratch. It also offers a vast range of real-time controls for dynamic playing/arranging. |
 |
The BL-8 Bassline module is a monophonic bass synthesizer combined with a powerful arpeggiator/step sequencer. Synth controls are straightforward and immediately accessible. An onscreen keyboard provides a familiar step-entry interface pioneered on vintage gear in this genre. |
 |
Each modules features its own dual effects processors for delay, chorus, phaser and more. There's also a master effects section that further processes the combined output of all modules. |
 |
An internal mixer and assignment controls allows the user to configure independent MIDI channels for each module. Or easily create splits and layers for things like left-hand bass with right-hand drums and other performance configurations. | |
