Roland sneaks out a soft launch of their DWe software, DW Soundworks, to their Roland Cloud Ultimate tier subscribers, opening up a world of acoustic drums for them.
When Roland acquired DW Drums in October of 2022, it seemed a good fit to bring that highly respected acoustic drum brand under the powerful umbrella of the Japanese giant. Shortly after that, DW launched their innovative DWe range, a collection of convertible acoustic drums that could double up as a set of e-Drums with not a lot of effort.
Ground-breaking Acoustic/Electronic Drums
This hybrid concept went even further by introducing a zero-latency wireless connection protocol, making the transition from acoustic to electric even more simple and clean. To complement the new hardware, DW launched DW Soundworks as its computer-based drum brain. This software took advantage of Roland’s already well established Roland Cloud platform, as you would expect it to.
The plugin could be purchased, along with a selection of drum libraries that were packed to the gills with superb samples of some of the best sounding acoustic kits out there.
DW Soundworks Now in Ultimate Subscription
Well, now it seems DW and Roland have quietly slipped the plugin and six core drum libraries into the top-tier Ultimate subscription on Roland Cloud. This means that if you’re subscribed to that plan, at around the cost of $199 USD annually, you can now get access to this powerful drum plugin and its high-quality libraries.
The software is pretty straightforward to set up and use and allows for complete customisation of your kits. Choose from four of DW’s own kits or a nice Gretsch or Slingerland. Roland have also made a further library available for free in the form of Metal Legacy.
Available Now in Roland Cloud
DW Soundworks and all seven libraries are available to download and install now to Roland Cloud Ultimate plan subscribers at no additional cost. If you don’t fancy buying into the whole subscription thing, Roland has made them all available as Lifetime Keys.
And if this has whetted your appetite, and you’ve been in the market for a new drum kit, you could do a whole lot worse than checking out the hugely impressive DWe range!
