KIT Launches MIDI Drum Software With Connor Denis Drum Library Featuring Mix-Ready Presets and Customizable Mixing Capabilities
| Nashville-based developer KIT Plugins has collaborated with Beartooth Drummer Connor Denis to release their first-ever drum plugin ‘KIT Drums – Connor Denis’ today. For the first time ever, creators can access the sound and style of Drummer Connor Denis, sampled from his Gretsch USA custom drum set. ‘KIT Drums – Connor Denis’ is available today starting with an intro sale of $49 here: https://kitplugins.com/products/kit-drums-connor-denis. Key features are included below* “I’m thrilled to finally release KIT Drums. This first release not only captures Connor Denis’ unique style, but also sets the stage for future releases powered by this platform. We designed KIT Drums to fill the gap between pre-mixed libraries and do-it-all platforms and provide a seamless and intuitive user experience. As a group of creators that use virtual drums regularly, we designed this plugin to keep users focused on what matters most when creativity strikes, but still give you the control to take your ideas all the way.” – said Matt Kleinman, Founder and CEO of KIT Plugins. Taking this one step further, KIT built their own fully-featured MIDI drum platform to serve as the foundation of Connor Denis and future drum libraries. Built for both pros and amateurs, the plugin comes with over 60 mix-ready presets and fully customizable mixing capabilities down to the individual microphone. More features and content, including presets and MIDI grooves, will be coming in the future. Named in SonicScoop’s lineup of Best New Pro Audio Gear and Mixbus TV’s Best of NAMM 2024, KIT previewed the new drum platform and plugin earlier this year, along with their recently released BB Chamber A plugin, their first plugin built using AI and latest collaboration with Blackbird Studio. |

Not only does each drum have its very own module for control over the Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release, each articulation has its own ADSR for maximum control over the transient properties.
