Bass & Drum Sounds for Less Than $100!

M-Audio's Drum & Bass Rig delivers a wide variety of bass and drum sounds in a single virtual rack. Compatible with most Mac and PC environments, Drum & Bass Rig incorporates four great sounding modules that can be used in stand-alone or plug-in mode. The RD-7 Real Drums module serves up tons of sampled drum kits and percussion. The EB-8 Electric Bass delivers authentic bass fingering, picking, slapping and more. The LC-5 Loop Creator allows easy and flexible creation and playback of sampled loops. And the BL-6 Bassline is ideal for creating electronic music bass lines. The master MIDI/Mixer section lets you route, split, layer and mix these four powerful modules in whatever way best suits your performance and recording needs. A master effects section even allows for adding a common effect in addition to the individual effect section included with each instrument.

Built on the same engine, Drum & Bass Rig delivers a wide variety of bass and drum sounds in a single virtual rack. Drum & Bass Rig delivers four modules ideal for creating backing tracks in both authentic and electronic styles.

  1. The RD-7 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.
  2. The EB-8 Electric Bass module produces the sounds of authentically played electric bass guitars. This extensive collection includes a large selection of finger, pick, slap and fretless sounds featuring slides, dead notes and harmonics. The EB-8 also includes a built-in bass amp emulation with drive and tone controls, as well as an effects section for creative options. This electric bass collection is topped off by a virtual analog synth bass model.
  3. The LC-5 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. The LC-5 Loop Creator 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.
  4. The BL-6 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.

Reviews

Easy to use and sounds great

by Joe from
July 1, 2005
Music Background:
All the modules in this software sound great, and the tweakability and ease of use make this a super product if you need great sounding drum and bass patches but don't want to drain your wallet. ... read more [+] The only thing I would have liked to see was an elecctronic kit in the RD-7 drum module. I use this as the core of my rhythm section in my one man band gigs and it thumps. No crashes either. If your music workstation is not internet connected (like mine)product registration can be a bit tricky; M Audio's tech support were prompt with e-mail help. I'm very pleased with this product. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
