Unique approach and features not found anywhere else.
Sonic Reality prides itself on innovation and striving to offer cutting edge
solutions for the modern musician. This includes proprietary techniques in
development that you only find from Sonic Reality. Things like theiMap
drum mapping standardwhere
an intelligent layout of drum performance articulations offers more realism in
drum programming than popular General Midi standard layouts. Sonic Reality still
offers both iMap and GM for the best of both worlds.
When it comes to creating drum tracks for your music, Sonic Reality has taken it
even further with a combination of playable iMap/GM drum kits and grooves that
take the ability to make your own realistic drum tracks to the next level. By
providing the first and only time aligned multi-track Rex grooves mapped across
the keyboard with discrete control of ever mic level in addition to the matching
multi-track drum kit, Sonic Reality offers the tools to make the most realistic
sounding drum tracks for your music with the same powerful flexibility of
production that popular drum plug-ins offer today. With virtual instrument
plug-ins like Drum Masters, you can use audio grooves played by some of the best
drummers in the world and supplement those loops with midi played kits all while
still retaining full control of the mix. This is a major break through for
modern drum recording and sequencing.
