BMS (Beaotic Mapping Standard). Note and control mapping are the same across all Beaotic kits, making it possible to exchange kits along the way without thinking about note and control data.

RANDOM SAMPLE SELECT Every time a note is triggered, a random variation of the designated sample (different from the two previous) is triggered. This custom algorithm effectively eliminates the so-called machine gun effect.

VELOCITY ACCENT adds 5 additional Round Robin layers for velocities at or above 85. Velocities at or below 84 hold the 5 Round Robin layers without Accent. This makes it possible to mimic Accent on a per-note basis. The Accent slider controls the Volume on the accent layers.

AUTHENTIC ACCENT When adjusting the Accent fader in this kit, you'll not only adjust the volume of the accented notes: You'll also access variations of the designated sound, corresponding with the accent-setting of the original hardware.

VELOCITY TO START results in a sonic expression very different from Velocity to VCA (volume). It controls the start position within each sample via Velocity. The harder you hit the note, the closer you get to the actual start of the sample.

OSCILLATOR DRIFT is a function that adds a subtle pitch randomization, very similar to the pitch drift on old analog oscillators. By using Oscillator Drift you get a more organic pitch.

FORMANT represents variations of SD2 sounds sampled through Frap Tools Fumana 16 band filter bank. This gives you the control to morph between two formant settings. The first 3 SD2 sounds morph from low end to high end filters, while the next 3 sounds morph between odd and even numbered filters.

For creative purposes, the pitch and decay settings can be controlled individually on each morph-element.

STICK BALANCE in the Hi-hat 2 group adjusts the balance between a noisy Hi-hat and a drum stick.

NOTE EDIT is where you make individual adjustments of Pitch, Level, Pan and Output of each notes's sound. Pitch can be either absolute or relative to that of the group.

HIGH SAMPLE RATE

All samples in every Beaotic kit are recorded at 96 kHz. This gives each sound a more accurate amount of overtones, notably when pitched down. Of course it's all recorded in 24 bit with the shortest possible signal chain.

FREE UPDATES are included for the entire product lifetime. All accessories, templates and guides will be developed and made available on this webpage for free as well.

Please note: Beaotic kits require the full version of Kontakt 4.2.4 or later. The free Kontakt Player is not supported. No sequencer or pattern player is included. Much more information is available under documentation.
