Klevgrand OneShot is more than just another drum plug-in, it’s a percussion sampling interface that makes playing drum pads more realistic.
Klevgrand is known for software innovation in many areas, but its drum and percussion plug-ins are particularly inspiring. They have done impressive work with instruments like Slammer, Borsta, Ting, and Skaka, and now the release of OneShot promises to be a big milestone, both for Klevgrand and for musicians.
What makes Klevgrand OneShot different?
Like most Klevgrand instruments, the devil is in the details. For starters, features like velocity layering and round-robin sampling might be a given on most multi-sampling plugins.
However, you also have more dynamic aspects like sample choking, as well as synthesis features like filters and envelopes. What’s more, OneShot is equipped with an extensive effects section, and its flexible multi-output routing makes it a powerful instrument.
Most of these features can be found on other major drum plug-ins, so what makes OneShot unique? Apart from the quality of the playback engine, OneShot allows you to dive into the creative side of sample triggering and sound shaping.
Also, the way you can control the degree of humanization on the gain, pitch, filter, and time on each of the 15 instrument slots is an exciting prospect.
Instead of focusing on drum replacement or room modeling, OneShot is a platform for creating your own sounds and designing a workflow that suits your style of music production.
Over the last four years, we’ve discovered that many music creators out there want to use drum sounds in a similar way to how we like it at Klevgrand. This has given us the confidence to develop a fuller concept, OneShot, that will make our existing users feel at home and also welcome new Klevgrand users.
Tobias Engström, CEO & Co-founder
Overall, OneShot looks like an amazing instrument, particularly for those looking outside of the traditional role that drums play within music. It has the capability to recreate authentic drum kits with its sound library, but you can unlock more creative potential when you start loading your own samples.
Whether you’re an e-drummer or an MPC button basher, this should definitely be on your radar.
