The Best Service Voyager Drums LE - Virtual Instrument Downloadfrom Best Service Voyager Drums LE - Virtual Instrument Downloadis a virtual instrument with a library that consists of an accurately sampled Yamaha drum kit with Paiste cymbals and a library of 360 MIDI grooves. It gives composers, arrangers, and producers all the necessary tools to create punchy drum tracks, ideal for pop, rock, jazz or funk productions.

Recorded at 16-bit/48 kHz on gear provided by SPL, API, Apogee, Neumann, Sennheiser, and other notable pro-audio companies, Voyager Drums LE provides 16 velocity layers and three round robins (multiple samples per note to avoid the synthetic repetitive hits of multiple drum-strikes). Recorded using only direct mics, each sound can be individually altered with controls such as volume, panning, attack, decay, and more.

This virtual instrument is powered by the included Best Service ENGINE 2 sample player, 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 acoustic 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

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is it easy to move, or is it stiff and hard to move?

A: Any looser than it is it would be hard to set it up and hold position as you set up. If you try it without a camera on a tripod it can feel it is a little stiff. In the field it is just right. Particularly if you are In unlevel terrain.

Q: 2. Does it pan 360 too?

A: The Sirui LE-60 does not have a separate panning axis/base, so it can only if you unlocked the leveling head/aspect of it, which might be counter-intuitive during usage.

Q: 3. Will this fit on the voyager?

A: Yes, the Inovativ Tripod System for Apollo and Voyager Carts will work with Inovativ Voyager carts.

Q: 4. can i use with any usb wall charger?

A: Yes. I bought two spares. I keep one at home, one for the car and one that plugs into the computer at work.

Q: 5. Is there a way to power off of a gold mount battery?

A: Hello, Unfortunately, at the moment it is only possible to charge/feed power to the Voyager through the included adapter.

Q: 6. Hello Can the Voyager run while the charger is plugged in charging the battery?

A: Hello, Yes, the Voyager runs while charging as well.

Q: 7. Have any photometric measurements been released?

A: Unfortunately, photometrics on this light have not yet been released. Stay tuned for updates.

Q: 8. 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: 9. Are these controlable via the same app as DS1/ DS3?

A: The Voyager app is different from the app used to contron the DS products.

Q: 10. Does this allow for rotation as well as tilt? I want to put it between a tripod and slider, but I can't tell if it will let me adjust the pan configuration relative to the legs as well as leveling.

A: Yes it tilts and rotates like a ball head. Just not as extreme.
