Ultimate Sound Bank 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 you get with Ultimate Sound Bank Percussion Store.  USB went to their favorite percussion store and sampled every instrument they liked. Working with an experienced percussionist, USB 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.

As usual, USB was really committed into recording quality: first, rent an excellent recording studio with a percussion expert sound engineer, and then bring the gear: Brawmer and Neumann microphones, Manley, Fearn & Neve preamp and compressors, high end analog to digital converters and the best sounding soundcards in the market.

Ultimate Sound Bank Percussion Store doesn't contain any loops, only single shots. Of course every instrument was deeply "multi-sampled" in 24 bits / 96 kHz, at dozens of velocity levels when applicable, different playing techniques (depending on the instrument), different hand positions, rolls, fla, all expertly played.  Packed with 100% original sounds, Percussion Store contains more than 150 percussions coming from all over the world for a total of more than 6000 samples:

In the mess of technical figures, it's sometimes difficult to be realistic, so let's be honest. A few years ago, USB started to record all new sounds in 24/192 resolution, thinking that it was the best solution of all. In a way it is, but after tons of testing and comparing, they chose the 24/96 format for two main reasons.  Although one can hear the difference between 16/44.1 and 24/96, even experts can't tell the difference between 24/96 and 24/192.  And, to be honest, 24/192KHz is still too heavy to use many current computers and harddrives, even with the new productive UVI Engine.

The UVI Soundcard libraries are dedicated to be used with the brand new UVI Workstation, the MOTU MachFive II virtual sampler and BPM. 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 hosts sequencers.  The UVI Workstation is available as a free download from UltimateSoundBank.com
