Drum Replacement Plug-in of the Pros!

Steven Slate Drums Trigger 2 Platinum is not only the drum-replacement software of choice for pro producers Chris Lord-Alge, Mike Shipley, and Dave Way, but its included sample library means you may never need to reach for third-party libraries again. 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 Platinum'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 Platinum doubles as a totally responsive live drum module for your electronic drum kit.

Note: Trigger 2 Platinum requires that you have an iLok account for authorization, although it does not require a physical iLok key. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions.

Multi-sample triggering for detailed, customizable sound

Steven Slate Drums Trigger 2 Platinum'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. Likewise, each sample layer lets you customize velocity, dynamic control, independent levels, sustain, and more. Trigger 2 Platinum 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 Platinum 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 Platinum 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 Platinum's amazing sound library for real-time performances.

A warehouse of top-shelf drum sounds

No matter what kind of music you come up against, Trigger 2 Platinum has the drum sounds you need. That's because Steven Slate Drums packed Trigger 2 Platinum with its complete Platinum instruments library, which includes sounds from 46 snare drums, 33 kick drums, and eight sets of toms. Each of these instruments includes hundreds of individual 24-bit samples to provide you with realistic expression and dynamic range, and the selection of deluxe instruments includes up to 12 alternation hits per velocity level. And thanks to the Trigger lossless sample compression, the entire Trigger 2 Platinum drum library takes up only a little over 2GB.

Steven Slate Drums Trigger 2 Platinum Features:

  • The premier multi-platform drum-replacement software trusted by producers Chris Lord-Alge, Mike Shipley, and Dave Way
  • Phase-accurate drum replacement ensures full and consistent sample triggering
  • Each instance can trigger 8 stereo samples with up to 127 different articulations and velocity layers and up to 127 alternation hits per velocity layer

Reviews

Great plugin for Drum Replacement!!
I also use XLN Audio Addictive Trigger. Sometimes I will use both together fir different drum shaping.

My go to Trigger is Slate 90 percent of the time.
Easy to use once you get the raw drum tracks imported I start with the kick and snare then go from there.

It's a must for a full-time studio producer/ engineer. It saves time when mixing drums and finding the right sound for a song.

Get it, you will be glad you did!

pretty, pretty, pretty good.
im so used to UA and MAC talking to each other i got spoiled. but thankfully im experienced with 1998 protools days that reading manules and taking a few geusses pays off. a bit tedious installing and extracting sounds on the first go around, but once you get a few trys in you will be glad you have this in your tool box.
Great drum trigger
Easy to use. Great drum sounds. I add a duplicate track and mix half natural sound and half trigger sound. Makes the drums sound amazing!

Upgrade your recorded drums

This an awesome and cost-effective way to upgrade your recorded drums! Most of us do not have the room or microphones to improve our drum tracks. While I have a great pro drummer, the live recorded drums have alot of bleed from other instruments. This allows me to use samples to effectively lower the noise floor in all my band recordings. I highly recommend the samples and engine. As always, Nolan and his team made this $ purchase a no brainer for quality drum tracks!
