SMACK 2 : Claps, Snaps & Stomps is an exciting collection of cabinet percussion samples that delivers an impressive level of detail. Following the success of the original SMACK, we set out to develop and record a worthy sequel that not only captures the same magic as the first library, but improves on it in several ways.
To start, we recorded all the body percussion with three different adjustable microphone positions: close, stereo and room. We then deepened the sample set to make each performance as realistic as possible, recording eleven Round robins and up to seven velocity layers. Finally, to add even more sonic flavor, we recorded performances in small, medium and large halls.
To make SMACK 2 even more versatile, we explored various new slamming techniques and unique stomping surfaces. For example, we recorded a sample of one person stomping on a guitar case with a tambourine on top, as well as a small group stomping on plastic packaging materials. For complete control over your sound, we created over seventy articulation patches for immediate access to each looping sample on the keyboard.
In addition to body percussion, we have created a large selection of unique electronic sounds. This patch includes electronic kicks, clicks, claps and other percussion. While these samples sound great on their own, they also work great with acoustic samples.
SMACK 2 has been designed to integrate seamlessly with Komplete Kontrol and Maschine, offering you a unique hands-on experience. Easily operate the interface using the controls of all NKS-compatible equipment.
