DrumCore provides songwriters, composers and musicians with a complete set of tools for creating great drum tracks quickly across a wide range of musical genres. DrumCore is the only product that combines name-band drummer content (in both audio and MIDI formats), with a unified search engine to let you search, select and export files into your audio workstation in nothing flat. It even helps you manage your own loop libraries and create your own MIDI drum kits. The best part is that DrumCore is super-easy and intuitive to use.

DrumCore 2.5 added some of the features that DrumCore users had been asking for. Among these features were the ability to Tempo-sync playback to the tempo of any ReWire host, additions to the amount and type of drummer content, separate stereo outs for all drums in the MIDI Drum Module, and support for REX2 and ACID files. DrumCore 2.5 continues to up the ante, adding Pad Swapping for easily creating personalized, hybrid drumkits; Drag-and-Drop Sample Assignment and kit editing; Real-Time Editing; MIDI Standalone Mode to play DrumCore live as a drum module; and Queue Mode to hear loops and/or fills in context and back to back.

Outstanding grooves played by a "top-ten" list of drummers
Submersible DrumCore 2.5 covers acres of musical territory: rock, reggae, jazz, hip hop, blues, country, and more. Never have so many styles been played with so much spice, and recorded so well.

Find grooves easily
DrumCore 2.5 has an extensive search engine that makes it easy to find the perfect groove. Browse the library and search for content based on "metadata" such as drummer, style (rock, funk, etc.), feel (straight, shuffle, etc.), tempo, and/or your own comments/notations. Beats are arranged into "GrooveSets," which group associated drum parts for easy song construction. Audition content quickly by clicking on icons that represent audio loops, fills, single hits and MIDI files. Listen to content through your computer's native audio system (using CoreAudio, DirectSound or ASIO) or use ReWire to listen via your digital audio workstation (DAW). ReWire allows you to play audio from DrumCore 2 into the mixer section of other applications and allows DrumCore 2 to receive MIDI from those applications. In the DAW application, you can even process the loops with plug-ins to hear how they sound with effects like reverb or compression. ReWire is supported on both Mac and Windows in applications like ACID, Audition, Cubase/Nuendo, Digital Performer, Live, Logic, Pro Tools and SONAR.

You can even use DrumCore 2.5 to manage your own audio libraries! Simply import any WAV, AIFF or SDII and tag it with your own metadata. Furthermore, your DrumCore 2 library can be extended through Submersible DrummerPacks which come pre-tagged with metadata and arranged into GrooveSets.

Highest quality audio
While other drum products make you choose between the speed and realism of loop-based composition, or the note-level control offered by MIDI-DrumCore 2.5 gives you both! With DrumCore 2.5 you get both high-quality audio and MIDI grooves. After all, it's about the quality of the beats, not the technology used to make them. All audio content is 24-bit, and performances were recorded using state-of-the-art studios for impeccable fidelity. Equipment used was a mix of great analog (SSL 9000 console, Pultec, Neve, Neumann M50) and digital (Pro Tools HD3).

Players' unique instrument sounds
DrumCore 2's software MIDI drum module comes loaded with each drummer's personal drum kit that perfectly complements the included MIDI grooves. Since most of DrumCore 2's drummers are endorsees for major drum and cymbal manufacturers, DrumCore 2 provides access to these players' individualized drum sounds. The drum module also allows better control of each sound (snare, kick, etc.) and better integration with audio loops. You can even create your own drum kits using DrumCore 2 samples or sounds of your own.

Musical grooves hold together at different tempos
The performances on DrumCore 2.5 were recorded at 5-10 bpm increments. Since drummers play differently at different tempos, this translates into more musical grooves. It also keeps audio quality from being compromised by extreme tempo-stretching, beat-slicing or other processing. Want variations? Try a slammin' Sorum rock beat played on a hip-hop lit. Or use DrumCore 2's Gabrielizer technology to generate new beats from your selection-from mild to wild!

Great integration with DAW software
DrumCore 2.5 integrates directly with all the popular music authoring applications. Drag and drop a groove straight into applications that support drag-and-drop (like ACID, Audition, Cubase/Nuendo, Digital Performer, Live, Logic and SONAR). In Pro Tools (Mac version), audio can even be automatically exported (spotted) to the curser position on selected tracks. Find a DrumCore 2 loop you like, select "Export" and there it is right on your Pro Tools track! Choose another groove, hit "Export" again and there it is on the track, right after your first exported groove. Build a killer Pro Tools drum track in a few minutes remotely from DrumCore 2. Export from DrumCore 2 as AIFF, WAV and SDII for other applications like Live, Peak or Reason.

Export single or multi-tracked MIDI grooves to your application and play it back through the DrumCore 2.5 MIDI drum module. Use a MIDI controller with a sequencer to create your own beats using the drum module, or layer MIDI parts on top of audio loops to get real drummer feel plus control of individual sounds for extra parts (crashes, accents, etc.).
