Top-tier Drum Replacement Tech!
Steven Slate Drums Trigger 2 EX streamlines the plug-in that producers Chris Lord-Alge, Mike Shipley, and Dave Way swear by. With one instance of this nearly universal plug-in on your drum track, you can trigger up to eight stereo samples at once — all with freakishly accurate phase alignment. This means tougher toms, beefier kick drums, and more penetrating snares, all without affecting the balance of your kit mics. Trigger 2 EX's unique Leakage Suppression function ensures absolutely precise sample triggering, easily separating ghost notes from mic bleed. And with a dedicated host, Steven Slate Drums Trigger 2 EX doubles as a totally responsive live drum module for your electronic drum kit.

Multisample triggering provides detailed, customizable sound
Steven Slate Drums Trigger 2 EX's multilayered engine lets you get the most out of one instance of the plug-in by triggering up to eight stereo samples simultaneously. That means you can trigger a close-miked sample, a stereo room sample, and a stereo overhead sample — all right from the same drum track to get the perfect blend of direct and ambient sound. And each sample layer lets you customize velocity, dynamic control, independent levels, sustain, and more. Trigger 2 EX even features positional sensing, a visual hit detector, and 127 different articulations per sample layer, providing you with great-sounding, tight, sample-accurate drum tracks.
Precision studio drum replacement and live sample triggering
Armed with two detection modes, three latency modes, MIDI control capability, and a brilliant Leakage Suppression mode, Trigger 2 EX is more than capable of handling both studio drum-replacement work and live sample triggering alike. In its highly accurate higher latency setups, Trigger 2 EX provides you with phase-accurate drum triggering free of unwanted mistriggers, flamming, or phasing. And with latency as low as 4ms, Live Mode lets you tap into Trigger 2 EX's amazing sound library for real-time performances.
Packed with premium drum sounds from Stephen Slate's standard instrument library
The EX instrument library included with Steven Slate Drums Trigger 2 EX totally raises the bar for "basic" drum sample libraries. This sample library includes 10 snare drums, nine kick drums, and three sets of toms, all of which include hundreds of individual 24-bit samples to provide you with realistic expression and dynamic range. Highlights of the Trigger 2 EX instrument library include the deluxe Old Zep kick and snare as well as the ToneDef kick. And thanks to the Trigger lossless sample compression, you get all of this, without giving up precious disk space.
