Steven Slate Drums introducers SSD5

FROM Steven Slate Drums:

Fifteen years ago, there was no Slate Digital, No Virtual Analog-Modeled Plugins, and no touchscreen consoles.

There was just Drums. Steven Slate Drums.

My drum samples became a staple for pro mixers around the globe and launched my career in pro audio. And that's why I'm so happy to finally announce the release of our new flagship Virtual Drum Instrument, SSD5.

SSD5 has been built from the ground up. It's so easy to use you don't even need to read the manual. But most importantly, we have anew state-of-the-art drum physically-modeled playback algorithmthat recreates the sound of real drum parts. Simple round robin is a thing of the past... now each drum dissolves into the next just like a real acoustic drum kit.

SSD5 is debuting at $149 until November 30th when it goes to its normal price of $179. Don't miss this offerto get one of the most versatile and best sounding Drum VI's in the industry!

Here’s a Full List of Every New Feature and Update in SSD5:
