Your own personal Percussion Store
Have you ever imagined that you are alone in a store you like and you can choose whatever you want? That's exactly what's going on here: the folks from USB went to their favorite percussion store and sampled every instrument they liked. Working with an experienced percussionist, they carefully recorded every aspect of each selected instrument. They also took cool pictures for main percussions, so you can have a "true" idea of the instrument you're playing with.

Painstakingly recorded on the best equipment
As is the case with all their products, USB put painstaking effort into getting the best recordings possible. First, they rented an excellent recording studio with a percussion expert sound engineer, and then brought their gear: Brawmer and Neumann microphones, Manley, Fearn and Neve preamps and compressors, high-end AD/DA converters, and the best-sounding soundcards in the market.

Multi-sampled one-shot sounds with different playing styles
Percussion Store doesn't contain any loops, only single shots. Of course, every instrument was deeply "multi-sampled" in 24-bit/96kHz quality, at dozens of velocity levels when applicable, with different playing techniques (depending on the instrument).

How to use the UVI Soundcard Percussion Store
The UVI Soundcard libraries are dedicated to be used with the brand new UVI Workstation and the MOTU MachFive II virtual sampler. The UVI Workstation is a multi-timbral software instrument that provides unlimited parts, integrated effects, live performance feature, and a smooth real-time workflow. It operates as a MAC/PC stand alone application and as a virtual instrument software plug-in compatible with Mac OSX and Windows for all major host sequencers.
