Heavyocity – Oblivion Drums (KONTAKT)

• 30,000+ Deeply Sampled Hits: Captured across extensive velocity layers with round-robin alternations to preserve natural acoustic bounce and human variations at blistering tempos.
• Three Core Creative Engines: Seamlessly switch between Kit Designer (playable MIDI drum kits), Ensemble Designer (epic multi-player cinematic wall of sound), and Loop Designer (tempo-synced groove machine).
• 99 Mix-Ready Snapshot Presets: Instantly recall artist-crafted kits and loops dialed in for trailer hits, metal breakdowns, aggressive punk, and cyberpunk tracks.
• 500+ Production Loops: Flexible, locked-to-tempo rhythmic beds, fills, and stuttered grooves mapped for rapid soundtrack cue drafting.
• Discrete Per-Voice Source Control: Fine-tune tuning, transient attack, sustained decay, envelope curve, and stereo placement individually for each drum pad.
• Signature Heavyocity DSP Chain: Onboard dynamics shaping including Heavyocity's famous "Punish" knob, saturation saturation stages, transient shaping, and convolution spaces.
• Native Instruments NKS & Kontakt Player Compatible: Fully encoded for the free Kontakt Player and Komplete Kontrol S-Series hardware keyboards.

1. Kit Designer (Traditional & Hybrid MIDI Drum Kit):

   • Playable via standard General MIDI (GM) and custom mapping layouts.
   • Punishing, sub-heavy kick drums, snappy cracking snares, cutting high-frequency cymbals, and responsive toms.
   • Mix between raw close spots, stereo overheads, room boundary mics, and crushed "trash" microphones directly within the channel strip.

2. Ensemble Designer (Cinematic Impact & Multi-Drum Stacks):

   • Stacks multiple drummers and massive percussion pieces together for seismic accents and downbeats.
   • Combines acoustic floor toms and taikos with processed industrial metals and sub-drops to deliver explosive cinematic climaxes.

3. Loop Designer (Dynamic Rhythmic Groove Engine):

   • Houses over 500 sliced rhythmic loops categorized by groove intensity and tempo.
   • Features real-time slice playback, groove re-triggering, custom step modulation, reverse slice playback, and individual lane filtering.

• Multi-Channel Microphone Mixer:
  • Direct control over Close, Overhead, Room, and Dirt/Crush channels for every kit piece.
• Voice-by-Voice EQ & Dynamics:
