Ultimately, surReal kits are inspired by our customer’s desire for more realistic acoustics, with varied processing levels, to fit with endless music options. Nearly every music style is easily represented. Kits are developed in a manner to fit with today’s high-quality sound in recording and gigging, and will blend with live bands and instruments fluidly. As this expansion is more realistic in nature, further light volume mixing to match your needs should be expected at the instrument level.
Cymbal modeling on this expansion has been designed to reflect brighter commonly used Paiste/Zildjian and darker Byzance cymbals in the music industry. Tunings vary across kits to achieve the kit’s overall intended voice, and can be easily re-tuned or replaced with a copy as desired.
V Expressions Ltd kits can be edited any way you desire. You retain total control of all modeling, mixing and production!
Note: You must update your Mimic to version 1.0.8 prior to installation.
