UNO Drum gets all the kits in the free Drum Anthology Library
The Drum Anthology Library pretty much covers all the kits you’ve ever wanted. Taken from more than 40 vintage drum machines from the 1960s (think organ rhythm boxes) through all the favourite Roland, Korg and Simmons through to Boss, MFB and Jomox and everything in between.
Drum Anthology Library
The collection comes as 10 libraries that can be loaded via a double-click on your computer. They replace the PCM factory sounds and so won’t touch your stored kits or patterns. You can run them alongside the analogue drum sounds or build new custom kits from the samples.
