NDK ( formely known as ns_kit7 )is a multi-gigabyte
single-strike drum and cymbal sample library with highly
extensive velocity layering and articulation options,
allowing for the ultimate in realism and performance.
What other software is needed to use NDK?
We recommend using NDK in conjunction with Native
Instruments' Kontakt 2 or Steinberg's HALion 3
soft-sampler. Extensive presets for both formats are
included, allowing users to take advantage of such features
as random-robin triggering, on the fly stick and snare-wire
changes, direct-from-disk streaming, multiple outputs,
individual drum/cymbal panning & velocity, the ability to
mix-and-match your own kits and loads more.
If you don't already own one of these soft-samplers (and
don't plan on investing in one any time soon) a cheap
alternative is HALion Player v for the average user, this
is ideal and won't break the bank.
Unembedded & unlocked v yours to do with as you wish...
The samples in this library are not embedded or locked in
any way. This allows the user to create custom presets in
the sampler format of their choice. To make this as easy as
possible, the files have all been named in a logical way to
make mapping a breeze.
Also, thanks to the exhaustive and varied nature of this
library, NDK is also an ideal candidate for use in drum
replacement software.
The most extensively sampled acoustic instrument ever created.
The NDK sample library has been 2 years in the making and
was recorded over several months by Douglas Whates in his
studio in Glasgow, Scotland. Douglas hand edited around
half a million start points, end points and fades, and
manually bounced down around 22,000 sound files. Many of
our single kits (6 piece shell pack, snare, hi-hat and
cymbals) have more individual hits, as a direct by-product
of the sheer number of articulations and velocity layers,
than any other sampled acoustic instrument currently on the
market.
