Description
Unison Essential MIDI Drum Kits is a collection of five complete MIDI drum kits for building drum patterns directly in a DAW. The named kits include Truth at 130 BPM, Deity at 120 BPM, Prevail at 110 BPM, Savage at 150 BPM, and one additional full MIDI drum kit.
Each kit includes kick, closed-hat, open-hat, snare or clap, percussion, and off-snare MIDI lines. The files are designed for drag-and-drop use with your own samples, and the product page states that the pack is royalty-free.
Tips
- Layering MIDI Lines: Combine different MIDI lines from the same kit to create a fuller, more complex drum pattern. For example, layer a kick MIDI line with a snare/clap MIDI line and add closed and open hat lines to build a complete drum groove.
- Tempo Matching: Adjust the tempo of the MIDI files to match your project. Since the kits are provided at different BPMs, you can easily stretch or compress the MIDI files to fit the tempo of your track without losing the groove.
- Customizing Velocity: Modify the velocity of individual MIDI notes to add dynamics and humanize your drum patterns. This can make your drums sound more natural and less robotic.
- Using Percussion Lines: Incorporate the percussion MIDI lines to add rhythmic complexity and interest to your drum patterns. These lines can be used to fill in gaps and create transitions between different sections of your track.
- Experimenting with Off-Snare Lines: Use the off-snare MIDI lines to introduce syncopation and variation in your drum patterns. These lines can add unexpected accents and make your drum grooves more engaging.
