This has allowed FL-Studio to enjoy massive growth over the years, expanding its arsenal of drum sound generators and offering great features to produce drum sounds and rhythm tracks, mainly geared towards EDM.

#ADD DRUM KITS TO FL STUDIO 12 UPDATE#

While I had to pay three-digit Euro amounts for every Cubase update over the same period of time, all FL-Studio enhancements came for free. I have been working with FL-Studio for more than a decade now and every update has surprised me with some great innovative new features and plug-ins. HQ Drum Kits are good for exercising and demoing, but I would not use HQ Drum Kits in any serious music production. Still, these drum kits are valuable additions to the already massive content FL-Studio comes with. Will the competition pay attention because of the FL-Studio 12.1 announcement to offer вЂњHQ Drum KitsвЂќ? No. ThatвЂ™s why I donвЂ™t like to judge too harshly and instead consider the product as a valuable contribution to the already feature-rich DAW, just to keep up with the competition in their segment.ДЇL-Studio вЂњHQ Drum KitsвЂќ arenвЂ™t great.

However, it should be noted that this drum kit addition to FPC and FL-Studio comes absolutely free of charge to the millions of FL-Studio users out there. Having the competition in mind I would not have named these new drum kits in FL-Studio 12.1 вЂњHQ Drum Kits.вЂќ There is an obvious gap that separates these вЂњHQ Drum KitsвЂќ from the real HQ drum kits that are available on the market.

On the other hand, a ride bell articulation is not available in any of the four HQ Drum Kits. Also, the hi-hat sound is acceptable and comes in four different articulations: closed, half-open, open, and foot pedal-stepped. The cymbals in HQ Drum Kits instead sound very thin and have only a short sustain.Д«ass drums and toms, however, sound quite good. Cymbals used in acoustic drum setups usually offer long sustains and a bright sound. I have to say that I am not happy with the cymbals at all. While there are some kit pieces that have been sampled and mapped very well, there are others that arenвЂ™t as convincing. That alone is an indicator of sound quality because it determines how smooth the transition of sounds will be and how well the range of possible midi notes (a total of 128 steps are possible) is covered.Дoes that mean that the HQ Drum Kits of FL-Studio are bad? No, certainly not.ДЄ closer look at the sounds of HQ Drum Kits Many other вЂњHQвЂќ virtual drum modules offer at least twice the number of velocity layers and some more than ten times more. There are roughly ten velocity layers per kit piece and that is not an impressive number of layers.

While the other virtual drum modules come as вЂњall-in-oneвЂќ solutions that provide lots of studio-quality presets, numerous different articulations, professional mixing, and effects sections, the HQ Drum Kits in FL-Studio 12.1 are much different. So, how вЂњHQвЂќ are these new drum kits that are geared towards different genres of music? If you have worked with the top dogs such as Addictive Drums, EZdrummer, Superior Drummer, BFD, and the like, you will notice a big difference in terms of sound quality, sound mapping, and options to tweak sounds. The four HQ Drum Kits are called Funk, Jazz, Rock, and Metal. With the HQ Drum Kits, I assume that FL-Studio wants to keep up with other DAW manufacturers who offer a line of decent acoustic drum kits. That has worked well for electronic music where demand for sophisticated drum sample layering just isnвЂ™t there. FPC has been a simple yet effective drum sample player for years, with some basic sound structuring and manipulation functions. This was reason enough for me to test the new HQ Drum Kits and share my view.ДЇirst of all, it should be mentioned that the makers of FL-Studio would never claim to be among the top contenders when it comes to virtual acoustic drums. With the 12.1 update FL-Studio now also contains four вЂњHQ Drum KitsвЂќ for FPC, FL-StudioвЂ™s built-in drum sample player.
