You sold me on individual outs. Just discovered this drum library and now I will be saving up for it. Good job guys, really interesting and amazing work.
I've just discovered this company fortuitously Binging Kontakt issues and these folks offered the best answer on the web. As a bit of plugin enthusiast (Ample Sounds, Acoustic Samples, SSD 4P, Toontrack, GSI, Music Lab, and on and...) I am very impressed. I've spent good money on drum plug-ins and , yes preset groove systems are terrible imo too. I'm definitely acquiring a few thing from y'all. BTW, please, consider sampling a gourd banjo and adding frailing to the existing banjo's triggers! I believe you'd be the first for either concept in the VST arena! Can't neglect us old banjo time lovers!
Sounds really good - a second kick (as well as different crashs and rides) on the keyboard would be be nice for performing some useful stuff like double bass drum moves. What's about the samples? Are these raw and unprocessed samples recorded without compressors or limiters straight from the real drum kits or drum kit units? I'm looking for some drum VSTis with the most natural, unprocessed and highly dynamic sound.
Hey, how about if I trade you a free copy of RealiDrums for that Martin? ;-) MIDI out is tricky, especially since the DAWs (and even Apple and Windows) keep changing specs. On the Kontakt side of things, go to Preferences, then select "Engine," then for the "Send MIDI to outside world, menu, select "Script Generated Notes." That's the easy part. Step 2 is getting your DAW to see those notes, which honestly, it's changed so much over the years (especially with Logic, which is what I use here), that I'm not sure anymore what step 2 would be. With that said, on Mac, if you're familiar with IAC, it can be done. Windows is easier, I think, since they use VST3.
@@Realitone No trade! ;) In my case, it was Kontakt that needed settings first. Once set to send notes, Kontakt is ALWAYS sending MIDI so the button "Send MIDI" inside Realidrums acts as a mute switch. Which can just as easily be done in the DAW. (Bitwig)
This is one of nowadays a fairly decent number of KONTAKT libraries that I like as it plays well with other acoustic drum kit ROMplers (Such as Toontrack's SD2 and EZd2, FXpansion's BFD Eco, BFD2 & 3, XLN Audio's Addictive Drums or Addictive Drums 2, Steven Slate Drums 4..Etc.) and trigger specific/Kit piece layering plugin's such as WaveMachine Labs' Drumagog, apulSoft apTrigga, SPL DrumXchanger, Steven Slate's Trigger, XLN Audio's Addictive Trigger...Etc.) That is what I really find so useful an application of numerous instances of KONTAKT within a session.However most importantly it is the sample library developer's out there whom are who along with the big gun's are always upping their game which just makes life a lot easier when you do not have access to a decent sized space for capturing a multi-tracked kit or in many cases access to a drummer whom can play what is required if it isn't a band situation/a solo studio project.Nice one Realitone, I would and could happily use the library on it's own without layering up/building a kit from various separate sources and get a result that was simply not possible when I started out, Getting a couple of tracks ITB along with sequencing was the normal, Tape and ADAT/DAT was still the only real game around! I do not miss any of it really no matter the tint of any rose covering any pair of nostalgic spectacles, It keeps on getting better and better...A really great time for audio.
Good sounding drums, would be nice to have attack sustain delay and release and a few extra kicks not enough variation on the kicks, but apart from that, the drums sound good.
Hi Mike, a quick question for you. Are there any humanizing adjustments in this VST? Like, choosing how precise in timing the drummer plays, and randomizing the velocities of the drum hits a bit? Thanks a lot!
Thank you for clearing that up. So it has a learn function that will work with my Abelton Push? How about high hat open and foot closed and in between sounds? How many keys can be used for high hat articulations, and thanks for your help and time.
There's a disk icon at the top of the Kontakt interface. Click that and choose "Save as." Here's a video where we show "Load," which is just above where "Save As" is. realitone.net/realitone/uploads/support/How_To_Load_RealiBanjo.mp4
Yes. Right click on any slider on he GUI, which brings up a "MIDI Learn" dialog, then jiggle whatever knob/slider on your controller you want to use, then click "MIDI learn. Presto!
Can this be also used to just play the sounds with an e-drum kit ? In that regard, do the respective instruments (snare etc) have round robin samples ?
Ok I am in a studio that has this program. So I came on here to see how to use it. However, I do not see any of that stuff on his settings page that you used in this video. All that is showing up on this settings page is the reverb settings. It looks kinda weird because there is a lot of blank space around it compared to what I am seeing in this video. But I want to do all of the stuff you were doing! What is the issue and how do I fix it?
It's free. Just download the zip file from the "Your RealiDrums purchase" email and replace the Instruments folder and Resource Container files. Email us if you have any problems.
We use Roland V-Drums here mapped to the GM drum mapping and it works perfectly. If you prefer an alternate mapping, you can re-map to whatever you like on the settings page.
Hello Mike.Is it possible to use each sound in a different midi channel in a recording for exempel Studio one 3 that i use. Lets say that i want to put reverb on the snare but i dont want that on the base drum/Peter...
Yes, you can do that where each sound is on a different MIDI channel. An easier way, though, might be to use the individual outputs option (on the Settings page.) That way you can play the whole kit on one MIDI track/channel, but still send the snare to a different output than the kick, and send the toms to another output, etc.
They can be assigned to individual audio outputs, but the MIDI channel assignment is a single channel. We've been thinking about split MIDI channels for an update, though.
Thanks! We do have some brushes, but they're later in the list. I think 4 snares are struck with brushes and 2 tom sets. None on the cymbals, though. No brush options on the kick, either. ;-) Your point is well taken, though, because next time I think we'll do more brush recordings.
Open a software instrument track, then load Kontakt (or Kontakt Player) on that track, then load RealiDrums in Kontakt. You cvan get the free Kontakt Player here to try it out: www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-6-player/free-download/
AwesomeBlackDude , no, it's a one-time price. You keep it basically forever. Also, we've never charged for updates. Version 1.0 owners, for instance, got 2.0 for free.
No where near enough groove options and the grooves your using in this video are really just breakbeats. This may be good for funk and jazz but that's about it.
so you prefer, dry boring and negative? I mean the fact that his happiness annoys you should make you ask yourself "what is wrong with my life?" If you hate him, you wouldn't want to come around me and my family cuz we are like him time 10! lol
Relax. Dry & boring is not the ONLY alternative to smug & cheerful and my life is fine. Where did I say I hated him? It irritates me, but you on the other hand enjoy it. That's fine, I'm not criticising you for that? Just voice your opinion but don't criticise me for voicing mine.
This is one of the most creative and one of the least flow interrupting drum samplers I've ever used. awesome job!
You don't know anything about "Jamstix", don't you?
You sold me on individual outs. Just discovered this drum library and now I will be saving up for it.
Good job guys, really interesting and amazing work.
I see these videos again and again, just because I like your voice and personality :)
This drum is the best sounding ever. ... winner software sounding drum. This is reali drum like acoustic drum. Best of the best sounding
"...and get right to making music as opposed to twiddling your knobs" I needed to pause the video for some seconds there xD

I'm looking for some drum VSTis with the most natural, unprocessed and highly dynamic sound.
That's a good idea.
I won't say it's more important than my Martin D-18 for getting into the groove...it's pretty close! Hey can we get MIDI and Sound out same time?

Yes, you did it again.
Bought this yesterday and loving it so far. One question - can you change a closed hihat to an open hi hat in the grooves that come with the plugin?
If you Drag&Drop the MIDI to your DAW, then you can change open/closed, or timings or whatever. But you can't do it directly in the app.

Really it's the best drums

Hi Mike, a quick question for you. Are there any humanizing adjustments in this VST? Like, choosing how precise in timing the drummer plays, and randomizing the velocities of the drum hits a bit? Thanks a lot!
I thought about doing that, but since the beats are un-quantized, it got too complicated. We might still look at the possibility later, though.
Thanks Mike, bought it anyway. Really great instrument, loved it! By the way, really like your cheerful voice in the video as well! :)
How do you do snare rolls/ buzz rolls on realidrums?
Thank you for clearing that up. So it has a learn function that will work with my Abelton Push? How about high hat open and foot closed and in between sounds? How many keys can be used for high hat articulations, and thanks for your help and time.
I need this!
Possible to ad others toms or snare or assigne different sound on different instrument on roland module with your software?
How do you save all your customised fx, sounds, complexity settings etc so you can use them again? I do not see a Save preset button. Thanks.
There's a disk icon at the top of the Kontakt interface. Click that and choose "Save as." Here's a video where we show "Load," which is just above where "Save As" is. realitone.net/realitone/uploads/support/How_To_Load_RealiBanjo.mp4

This looks neat. Do the complexity sliders receive/send MIDI CC?
Yes. Right click on any slider on he GUI, which brings up a "MIDI Learn" dialog, then jiggle whatever knob/slider on your controller you want to use, then click "MIDI learn. Presto!
Can this be also used to just play the sounds with an e-drum kit ? In that regard, do the respective instruments (snare etc) have round robin samples ?
Yes and yes. In fact, the beats were all played in using a Roland kit.
Flying Colors approved!
How do you change the tempo? I bought it and i can't find how to change the tempo.

Are you on version 2.1?
No, the studio manager just told me they have 2.0. how much is the upgrade?
It's free. Just download the zip file from the "Your RealiDrums purchase" email and replace the Instruments folder and Resource Container files. Email us if you have any problems.
yeah that seemed to do the trick. thanks.
hi , work with the map of vdrum roland ( td15 , td11 ... ) with a option or other ??? boring mapping hand clavier ! tx
We use Roland V-Drums here mapped to the GM drum mapping and it works perfectly. If you prefer an alternate mapping, you can re-map to whatever you like on the settings page.
What is the sample rate and bit rate, and can I sync the grooves to my other sources via midi?
24 bit, 44.1khz. The beats sync to your sequencer's tempo and plays on the beat, in sync with your other tracks.

@@Realitone how to route individual tracks? I don't have an option in the settings
@@djsajrajtgutenberg4936 Do you have version 2?
@@Realitone
version 1.0 are the tracks going somehow in this version?
I think the speaker is cool!
Is it possible to route each drum sound separately and record the audio in a daw ?
Somehow I missed this question before. Yes, you can split the drums to separate outputs and record audio to a DAW.
is each component on the kit sent to individual midi channels?
They can be assigned to individual audio outputs, but the MIDI channel assignment is a single channel. We've been thinking about split MIDI channels for an update, though.
Wonderful! How much does it cost to get me these?. Want to try this
On sale at $199. Here's the website: realitone.com
Your different kicks, snares, they do sound different. In some libraries, they all sound the same...
they do sound very different, I have just bought it $99
Like what your doing here. Suggestion for 2.1.... brushes. Not all songs demand sticks.
Thanks! We do have some brushes, but they're later in the list. I think 4 snares are struck with brushes and 2 tom sets. None on the cymbals, though. No brush options on the kick, either. ;-) Your point is well taken, though, because next time I think we'll do more brush recordings.

@@Realitone why do you guys do it via Kontakt, it's extra steps, clunky and problematic in my experience.
Almost there but still no tempo adjustment?
The tempo is adjusted in Kontakt. Click the "Master" button at the top of the Kontakt interface and you'll see where you set the BPM.
and can I sync that tempo to other sources via midi
awesome!!!
how to install in ableton?
Contact support and they'll help you out: realitone.com/community/contact
The kits aren't labeled?
The kit presets do have names. Other than that, they're not labeled, although I'm not sure how much you'd need labels?
Is there a list of the kits sampled for each? e.g. Gretsch, Ludwig w/e or something like that?
For better or worse, we never wrote that stuff down.
Nope, we didn't write it down. In hindsight, maybe we should have, but we didn't.
