maximize and enhance the playability of the library, including a
randomization engine which utilizes a variety of advanced techniques to
maximize realism. A full performance view is available in all

Elite
Orchestral Percussion offers dozens of different room and reverb
options via a custom set of convolution impulses implemented in EZRoom.
EZRoom is a drop-down menu in the interface that, with one click,
allows you to place the percussion in everything from the world's
greatest chapels and concert halls to caverns, chambers, and small
rooms, all with minimal processor hit and no additional RAM usage.
Unusual sonic spaces are also included for esoteric effects. EZRoom
multiplies the different sonic options available to the discerning
orchestral writer.
Elite
Orchestral Percussion boasts an impressive array of features built into
its engine, designed to provide the best in realism, flexibility, and
creative inspiration.
HUMANIZE
An
integrated Humanize engine offers a breakthrough dimension in realism.
The scripting engine underneath Elite Orchestral Percussion will
intelligently vary the pitch, timing, and volume of each hit by
minuscule amounts to increase the diversity of timbre produced. Each
aspect of the Humanize engine, from extreme effects to complete
bypassing, can be controlled by the user.
EZROOM
EZRoom
is an integrated convolution reverb option, allowing the user to
instantly place the percussion instruments in one of more than fifty
different custom sonic spaces; everything from chapels and halls to
caverns, small rooms, and unique esoteric spaces is included. When
EZRoom is activated, new knobs for dry and wet levels appear, allowing
full control over the level and balance of the convoluted sound.
ARTICULATIONS AND TRIGGERS
Elite
Orchestral Percussion also features an extensive custom articulation
and trigger engine. Built-in custom articulations include choke, flam,
3-stroke roll (16th notes), 3-stroke roll (32nd notes), 3-stroke roll
(64th notes), roll (32nd notes), and roll (64th notes). Each of these
are tempo-synced as appropriate, and can be customized in detail.
Furthermore,
Elite Orchestral Percussion allows for the creation of rhythmic
patterns which are triggered by the engine. Up to 25 user patterns can
be programmed in each instrument, and some prebuilt patterns are
included in each instrument by default. The pattern engine is capable
of everything from traditional patterns to wild and unusual synthetic
effects, all of which lock instantly and perfectly to host tempo.
