Powered by the Best Service Voyager Drums - Virtual Instrument Downloadand available for download, Best Service Voyager Drums - Virtual Instrument Downloadis a virtual instrument providing two different Yamaha drum kits—a Maple Custom and a Recording Custom (both instruments featuring Paiste cymbals)—as well as a library of MIDI grooves. Each drum kit allows you three different timbres based on the microphone positioning at the time of sampling: direct delivers a close-mic sound, while overhead provides a combination of the direct signal and the overheads; the full kit setting combines overhead signal, direct audio, and room mics for additional ambiance.

Recorded at 24-bit/96 kHz on gear provided by SPL, API, Apogee, Neumann, Sennheiser, and other notable pro-audio companies, Voyager Drums provides 16 velocity layers and five round robins (multiple samples per note to avoid the synthetic repetitive hits of multiple drum-strikes). Furthermore, each microphone position sports individual controls such as volume, panning, attack, and decay. This virtual instrument includes the Best Service Engine 2, and is compatible with Windows and Mac platforms. It can operate within standalone, VST, and AU formats.

A Trigger function facilitates the augmentation of your found kick, snare, and tom sounds with the sounds provided by Voyager Drums. This application has many practical benefits, such as lending a more "expensive" feeling to a kit recorded at less-than-optimal conditions. The trigger section sports individual delay and pitch control as well.

Here a compressor (with presets), an equalizer, a limiter, and a distortion module are offered for built-in tonal shaping.

The arranger allows you to trigger MIDI grooves from within Voyager Drums that are always in sync with your DAW or sequencer. You can select from 5 different speed presets, each containing 48 straight grooves, 12 triplet grooves, and 12 fills. The grooves have all been recorded according to the BPM settings, bringing you a total 360 individual variations. You can also find the grooves in your library folder as MIDI files for use in your DAW with other virtual instruments.

Q: 4. Can I use any electric drumset trigger with this? I have a Pearl Redbox kit and I'd like to switch the brain out for this.

A: According to Roland, when it comes to connecting non-Roland pads and triggers to the Roland TD-50X Prismatic V-Drums Sound Module, results can vary and chances are you will have to play around with the sensitivity and threshold settings of each pad or trigger in the module to get it to play smoothly, without crosstalk or mis-triggering. The latest TD-50X module now includes digital trigger ports which are compatible with the Roland digital pads only.

Q: 7. Cd or download code

A: I see this question is old, but only one of the answers is correct, so I wanted to set this straight. I just purchased this upgrade version (March of 2021). If there were disks in 2015 that's NOT how it comes now. It is a download code only. It also does not come in a box as is pictured at the top of this page. It's just a sleeve with the code inside. Dominic's answer is only partially correct. The upgrade download is the WHOLE app (60gb NOT 20) regardless of whether or not Onmisphere 1 is currently installed on the computer in question. (You DO have to already have version-1 REGISTERED with Spectrasonics.) All of this information is detailed on the Spectrasonics web site if you want to verify my answer. Yes, be prepared, it's a lengthy process. I started the download just before going to bed & the downloader app estimated 4+ hours. It was done when I got up so I don't know if that was accurate or not. Also, that's just the "download" part. "Installing" takes another chunk of time. Anyway, I hope this clears up any confusion. Thank you B&H for having the BEST price on this! Nobody else discounts it at all.
