Virtual Studio Technology (VST) is a software interface that integrates software audio synthesizer and effect plugins with
audio editors and hard-disk recording systems. VST and similar technologies use digital signal processing to simulate
traditional recording studio hardware in software. Thousands of plugins exist, both commercial and freeware, and a large
number of audio applications support VST under license from its creator, Steinberg.
A fresh approach to cinematic percussion!
LA Drama Drums (LADD) is a complete orchestral percussion library comprised of multi-sampled strikes (up to 16 round-robin) and audio loops (each loop having 12 stem mixes!). LADD provides a modern solution to scoring cinematic percussion, production, and sound design.
Here are some of LADD’s features:
• Comprehensive orchestral & modern percussion multi-sampled strikes
• Dramatic big percussion
• Table-top percussion
• Layerable audio loops with 12 creative mixes (phase accurate)
• Hybrid patches of strikes and audio loops
• A built-in MIDI sequencer
• Compelling MIDI performances
• Trigger MIDI sequences with keys
• Up to 16 round-robbins
• 4 microphone mixes – Dry, Stage, Verb, and Full Mix
• Real-time Key Switch control of production-ready mixes
• Comprehensive modulators for evolving sounds
• Controllable Swing amount with varying options.
• Input quantize (lock to your DAW or in standalone).
Main Page
Here are some of the things you can control from the Main Page and it’s tabs:
• Ride filters in real-time and choose from 5 Step-Filter Tables in real-time.
• Instantly switch between 12 mixes – ranging from traditional to techno and sound design (and everything in between!).
• 8 sequences (each with up to 12 tracks, totalling 96 tracks) that are already programmed for you.
• Duration of Notes
• Real-time dynamics (you can ride percussion tracks with true ppp to fff )
• Choose cool MorphMastering Effects for an entire mix (Mastering presets that can be “morphed” in real-time).
• Full access to LADD Sequences and the Sequence Editor
• Controllable Swing amount with varying options.
• Input quantize (lock to your DAW or in standalone).
• Unique humanization features.
The most notable feature on the Main Page is the center dial called the Key FX Switcher. As you know, producing cool sounding percussion tracks can take hours (sometimes days) of production time. All of these presets were programmed to save you time and help your drum parts sound compelling with presets ranging from traditional to modern electronica! You can simply play sequences and click on these buttons to change the entire mix and sound of a performance. Changes can be subtle (like a slight EQ or reverb setting) to drastic settings where the sound is chopped up, filtered, delayed, and bit-crushed… all with the click of a button.
This Key FX Preset Wheel is a simplified representation of the Key FX scripts’ status. To know exactly what is happening with each preset, you would have to look at what the Mixer, Tuner, Filter and Key FX Script is doing. However, you don’t need to worry about that! You can simply press these presets and enjoy the produced sound that comes out.
The Sequencer
Audiobro is proud to introduce the LADD Sequencer Editor page. We have already programmed sequences for you on every patch so you can enjoy the sequencer right “out of the box.” However, you can record your own MIDI sequences in real-time (with it’s built in click) as well as programming it via step-entry or drawing with a mouse. It can be a very powerful tool in your MIDI arsenal.
“Why would I want to record in LADD’s sequencer when I have a great sequencer in my DAW?!” – you may ask. Well, we’ve already done the programming for you… and you can just decide to mute the one sound that you don’t need in an otherwise good sequence. Or you can edit it to your own needs. It’s there for your total control and inspiration. Lastly, audiobro will be releasing more sequences with updates and we will have an Audiobro LADD Sequence sharing forum where users can share their sequences as well as mixer maps and other things!
Of course, you don’t have to use the LADD Sequencer. You can program your own detailed percussion parts like you always have… but we bet you will enjoy the LADD sequences! wink
Some of the LADD Sequence Editor features:
• 8 different sequences
• Each sequence has 12 tracks
• All sequences (each with up to 12 tracks, totalling 96 tracks) are already programmed for you.
• Each track is assigned to a MIDI note (a sound)
• Sequences can be between 1 and 128 steps long
• Each sequence can have its own rate and length
• Each sequence track can control Velocity, Panning, Tuning, and Volume
• Real-time recording
• The capability to draw in your own notes.
The Tuner
The Tuning page is where you can tune every note any way you want +/- 3 octaves or anywhere in between! You can also randomize your tuning to automatically give you subtle or drastic tuning variations. By having independent control of the tuning and Random tuning of each and every note, you can change the most common sounds into something otherworldly… and then save the preset.
The lower section of the Tuner displays buttons with the different sound names. The buttons allow you to highlight the notes you want to tune and alter in the Tuning tables above.
The Mixer
We are very proud to introduce to you the LADD mixer, the cornerstone of LADD’s sonic possibilities. Not only does it give you access to EQ, Delay, Reverb, Drive, Lo-Fi, Filters, Choppers, Transient Masters, etc., it also allows you to change all these setting with a click of a button or at the press of a key — in real-time!!
Almost every feature in LADD’s mixer can be controlled via MIDI CC, but it’s real power comes to light when it is governed by the Key FX Switcher (described in the next section). The little wrench next to each effect allows you to expose the controls of that effect.
The Key Switching Matrix
This is where you give the Main Page’s Preset Wheel all it’s functionality and where you can combine the different LADD features (Filter, Tuning, Mixer, Sequencer ABCD sections, etc.) into a single Key Switch for instant control. Of course we have already done all the prep-work for you, so the KeyFX presets sound compelling straight out of the box!
Sometimes a picture paints a thousand words, and since the Key FX feature is so central to LADD, we think the graphic example below will help you understand one of LADD’s most basic features.
The Main Page Preset Wheel represents the Key FX Page’s setup. You’ll notice the keys in the wheel (C0 – B0 below-left) match the key buttons listed on the Key FX page (below-right) and the row next to each key shows the state of the different associated features.
