What does DrumCore Free offer?
Although DrumCore Free is a free version, it provides a basic set of features that allows you to experience the power of the full DrumCore platform. Here are the main elements you’ll get:
Drum kits
- DrumCore Free contains two (2) high-quality drum kits: a great rock/pop kit and a powerful hip-hop kit with a subwoofer emphasis.
- A sample of Latin percussion sounds is also included to expand the palette of rhythmic ideas.
- It’s worth noting that the full versions of DrumCore have more than 100 presets, and the Deluxe version has even more. The free version does not support extensions with additional DrummerPacks.
Grooves and Loops
- You get access to the Basic Beats “Rock Pop 101” groove set, which is available in both audio loops and MIDI grooves. This allows you to either drag and drop ready-made audio files or edit the MIDI data to create your own variations.
- Also included are MIDI grooves from Urban GT’s HipHop Classics (1-4) and Song Beat groove sets, giving you the flexibility to work with tempo and notes.
- The full versions of DrumCore offer thousands of grooves, covering many styles from world drummers. DrumCore Free does not support extensions with additional groove packs.
Differences from the full versions
In addition to a limited number of rhythms and grooves, DrumCore Free does not include the DrumCore Toolkit application. This tool in the full versions allows users to add their own audio loops and drum samples to the DrumCore library, creating their own unique instruments and grooves. DrumCore Free is focused solely on providing access to the built-in content.
System requirements and compatibility
DrumCore Free is available as a VST plug-in for the Windows operating system (Win32 supported).
