In this video, Roland RT-30 series acoustic drum triggers are mounted to the kick and snare drums of a compact, mid-range priced drum set, and connected to a TM-1 trigger module. As the acoustic drum heads are hit, the triggers send a signal to the module to play an electronic sample, which is played in perfect time with the acoustic sound, without delay.

i use LPX on two computers, my main setup is on an iMac, and I also use a MB Air. For some reason I am short the vast majority of drum kits on my MB Air. I know because the list is huge on my iMac, while I have maybe fifteen on the Air. I have tried to download additional content, but it just isn't there. For some reason LPX thinks I have them all and I don't. Could this be because my other version of LPX is complete? I just don't get it.
it's not the end of the world. Gosh, I have thousands and thousands of drum samples. Still, I just like Ultrabeat. Some of the newer kids are actually quite nice. It's just an easy way to open up a plug-in and get a beat going very quickly that doesn't sound really crummy. I still use it for all of my hi hat patterns because it allows me to use choke groups which you cant do with straight MIDI sampled drums on the EXS or other drum sample players I have. The swing and modulation options are also excellent.
I'm reasonably sure that Battery 4 isn't included in Select or Start, so I'm at a loss as to why Battery is showing up in my instruments and also whether there's anything I can do to actually use the menu of kits I'm presented with.
Just wasted two hours trying to get BFD3.4 to load the drum kits to enable it to output a sound but without success. There is no output or sound from any kit selected just a stack of yellow triangles with a red exclamation mark. BFD3 was loaded with all suggested locations chosen - seems like you need an IT degree to get this to work - any clues please, the manual is pretty useless here as it assumes the software is actually working and there appears to be no way of finding the kits via BFD3.
So when I first tried out Ultrabeat it was a couple days ago and I was only messing around and trying to figure out the interface. I noticed you could change the Factory Default preset to another stock drum kit, which I thought I would use. Just recently, I noticed that whole "Drum Kits" option had completely disappeared from the menu, how bizarre. So I dug around on the internet a bit to see if someone else had this issue, I couldn't find any forum which talked about this specifically. I did find some useful information on where drum kits are stored; they're in the Ultrabeat Samples folder if I am correct. To my surprise the samples were still intact and hadn't been moved from their initial location. So then I tried to reinstall my sound library to see if that would get Ultrabeat to look for these samples, but it did nothing. I'll post a screenshot so you guys can see what I am talking about, because I hadn't seen this problem before. This right here is the drop down menu at the top of the Ultrabeat plugin window:
The kits shown in the library browser are less than the presets of each of the drum instruments and I'm not sure if some of the library content is shared between drum instruments. However, just browsing through the list of kits in DMD, makes me second guess why I bother to create my own kits from my sample library, when I've barely tried the 170 kits already included? In fact, I'm sure I've created an 808 and 707 kit from free samples I downloaded, that might not be as good as the delivered DMD 808 and 707! Crazy!
But... can the 100 Ultrabeat kits be used outside of Ultrabeat? I don't see them in the library browser at all? I realize Ultrabeat is older but I presume there are still Logic users that like those kits and kit pieces. Is there a way to export Ultrabeat kits to DMD?
But, but... also, Is there a way to open more than the 20 acoustic kits in Drum Kit Designer, like the 170 "Electric Kits" for DMD? When Apple added the Producer + kits (30) it looked like Drum Kit Designer was offering more kits, but in fact, many were just augmenting the original 20. So, in my case, I tend to only ever use the Producer + kits and skip the original 20. I finding it tough to understand the future of Drum Kit Designer, now that DMD exists.
But... I don't use the library browser much, as I prefer to select presets and saved kits from inside the instrument. I've been confused why the 170 DMD kits are under the heading "Electronic Kits" when these kits are not 'synth drums' but sampled drums. The heading makes me think those kits are synthesized electronic drums, when really they could be anything, depending on the samples used - many of them acoustic samples. Rant done.
Just like you can't generally load a patch for Sculpture into RetroSynth, an Ultrabeat voice consists of a drum-specific synthesis engine, and/or a sample. That voice (or collection of voices in a kit), needs the Ultrabeat engine to play it.
Similar as above - Drum Kit Designer is a multi-sampled, round-robin acoustic drum playback instrument (it's Sampler under the hood). You can add Samplers to DMD (I think by default it uses Quick Sampler for sample playback, and Quick Sampler doesn't have all the multisampling and round-robin stuff of the full sampler).
They are quite different. One is an interface on deep sampled drum kits, the other is a way to quickly put together beat kits of simple samples. You wouldn't use DMD generally to create highly detailed acoustic drum kit parts with multiple round-robins etc, you'd do that in Sampler - DMD doesn't offer anything here.
So, if you have, say "Sampler" focused, Logic shows you all the Sampler Instruments for it. With Alchemy focused, it will show you Alchemy patches. With Ultrabeat selected, it will show you Ultrabeat kits - these are all the formats that the plugin saves.
I've gone through a similar process for converting Battery kits to DMD. I'm really trying to standardize all my fav drum kits in DMD, regardless of whether the source samples came from Ultrabeat, Battery, Playbeat or XO or some other drum machine software. Skeptics ask me "why?" and that's a good question, without a reasonable answer.
Regarding realism in acoustic kits, I thought Drummer (DKD) does change the sample depending on the velocity? If I have a velocity of 127 on my snare track but then have a velocity of 64, I'm pretty sure it doesn't only change the volume but also changes the sample?

Financially, yes. These kits are designed so that you can get multiple items at a lower cost than if you were to buy them separately.

Complete packages also have the benefit of having the same brand run throughout. This is a great benefit for performing drummers, offering a smarter aesthetic for the stage.
Reason Drum Kits is a collection of expressive and playable acoustic drum kits, recorded in legendary studio spaces, using a mix of vintage and state-of-the-art recording equipment. Recorded at legendary Atlantis Studios in Stockholm, no effort was spared in order to capture the sound and soul of these magnificent drum kits.
But where Reason Drum kits really shines is in the way so many creative decisions are open for you. All drum kits were recorded using the full mics array in the recording room, and all those recordings are available in Reason Drum Kits when you create your drum sound. Do you want a tight and intimate sound? Go for the close mics. Want a big and loud drum kit? Go wild with the overhead and ambience mics!
From thousands of samples, each drum kit has been meticulously crafted to allow for expressive performances. There are multiple samples per instrument to allow natural rolls and fills without the robotic machine gun effect of just re-triggering a single sample. Rim shots, ruffs, side stick and other ways that drummers turns patterns into performances are all there for your creative use.
I would first load the Lite version and try switching kits using the mouse in the interface just to see how it works. There are some options on how presets are handled in Cantabile. The default way is good if you want to load an entirely different SDX/EZX and kit.
You load and customize a drum kit in Superior 3 and create a plugin snapshot from it (simply lock the current snapshot) - then switch to another snapshot / preset and load a different kit. Now you can switch back and forth between them by selecting presets in Cantabile.
A wide cardioid overhead microphone for ambient pick up of a drum kit or other instrument groups. The 2015 can be positioned close to the drum kit (i.e., over the cymbals) and still capture sound evenly across the entire drum kit. This closer position results in stronger signal from the drum kit and therefore less bleed from the stage.
