Audiofier – Pragmabeat (KONTAKT)

Introducing PRAGMABEAT, Audiofier’s first
Ensemble Makers drum library. Fast, creative, unpredictable ways to arrange your music… in one click. Loops and sequences of instrumental rhythms, melodies, arpeggios and riffs that complement each other perfectly.

PRAGMABEAT can be a very deep library full of functions, but it’s also very simple if you use its basic functions. The sound structure of PRAGMABEAT includes 4 layers of HITS (interchangeably referred to as KITS or KIT PIECES) and 4 layers of LOOPS. HITS are single sounds that can be sequenced (snare kick, cowbell kick), while LOOPS are pre-recorded rhythms that can also be edited and sequenced.

The main feature of PRAGMABEAT is the automatic combination of sounds and the functions of creating sequences/patterns. With the touch of a button (almost literally), you can create drum kits and multi-structure patterns. Given the huge number of sounds (HITS and LOOPS) and the possibilities of the randomization engine, PRAGMABEAT provides a limitless source of inspiration for the rhythmic needs of any music composer/producer.

Pragmabeat includes 4 sequencers to trigger an arsenal of Drums, Percussion and Effects multi-sampled hits.

Additionally it sports 4 Lanes to drive tons of Audio Loops, from Acoustic to Designed Drums & Percussion, from Tonal Effects to Monster Earthshaking Impacts

Pressing C3 on the midi keyboard (or triggering it with a DAW) will activate the 4 HITS sequences and 4 LOOPS at once.
The key-switches C#3, D3 and D#3 will trigger respectively DRUM ROLLS, SNARE FILLS and TOM/SNARE fills.
The key switch E3 triggers selectable Crash Cymbals sounds.

The 4 Key-switches C1, D1, E1 and F1 trigger the 4 HITS sounds that can be played like with a standard drum hits library.
The 4 Key-switches C2, D2, E2 and F2 trigger the 4 LOOPS individually.

The Key-switches from C4 and B5 will trigger the SCENES change. Scenes are PRAGMABEAT’s combinations of sounds and sequences. When these Key-switches are displayed in several colors (from yellow to red), it means a PROGRESSIVE sequences randomisation has been generated.

In this case, the yellow keys will trigger less busy HITS sequences and LOOPS combinations, and each key will trigger a more complex scene, ending with scene 24, which will be the most complex and busiest.
