5th May 2015:
It’s true! Our DTX – Exploded! Sample Set 1 of 3 is now available from our e-shop for FREE*!
Over 400 drum samples lovingly wrenched [or is that exploded?] from a DTXPLORER kit and then equally lovingly re-assembled as per the original factory kits, for Kontakt and sfz compatible samplers such as sforzando.
And that includes all the samples for all the factory kits. So you can create your own custom kits if you want to. Incidentally, you can browse through all our current drum products at the following link:
