SoundBlind Drums – Counterkit

MIXER

Built-in 10 channel mixer includes faders for adjusting volume, a tune knob for adjusting pitch for drum shells across all microphones, a pan knob to adjust the stereo image, and two separate sends for a Room reverb & Plate reverb.

The Multi-Out function allows for all 10 channels to be routed through Kontakt outputs into your DAW with the click of a button.

CONTROLS

The control panel includes 3 sections:

1) Mic Blend Mixer to adjust the mic balance for both the Snare top & bottom, Kick in, out, and one-shot sample

2) CPU Scaling toggles which allow built-in mix processing within Kontakt to be disabled or enabled for each channel & reverb sends

3) Reverb parameter adjustments for both Room & Plate sends to customize kit depth

MIX BUS FX

The Mix Bus FX panel is an 8-insert drum bus signal chain, with bypass abilities, featuring:

– 3 Compressors (SSL comp style, SuperGT tube saturator style, 1176 style)

– SSL style EQ with 2 shelf bands (high, low) and 2 notch bands (high mid, low mid)

– Transient Designer, Tape Saturator, Stereo Imager, and an Audience Pan Perspective toggle

BLEED MIXER

The Bleed Mixer is a panel that allows the level of each drumkit element to be independently adjusted in each set of ambient microphones (Overheads, Stereo Rooms, Mono Room, & Hallway). This allows for creative mix results by creating realistic or larger than life room mic options.

MIDI GROOVES & REMAP

The MIDI Grooves panel feature a built-in MIDI groove bundle + preview player by Kyle Brownlee containing 30 metalcore style beats, 21 fills, and 90+ song structured parts. Drag & drop MIDI files directly from Counterkit into your DAW.

The MIDI Remap panel features manual MIDI remap controls, a MIDI “learn” feature, and preset configurations for popular drum plugins such as GGD, Superior Drummer, EZ Drummer, and DrumForge.
