What's inside Sensory Percussion

  3. Overview of the Bit Crush effect

    v2
    The Bit Crush is a lo-fi effect designed to intentionally degrade an audio signal by lowering the effective sample rate and bit depth. This process introduces digital grit, quantization noise, and aliasing, allowing for sounds ranging from subtle vintage-sampler coloration to harsh digital artifacts.

  4. Overview of the Convolution Reverb effect

    v2
    The Convolution Reverb is a send effect that recreates the sound of a real acoustic space (such as a room, hall, or plate) by processing incoming audio through an impulse response (IR). Each audio source contributes to a shared reverb based on its individual send level, and the resulting wet signal is mixed back into the audio stream.

  5. Overview of the Sequencer module

    v2
    The Sequencer plays its child modules one step at a time. Each incoming hit advances the sequence and triggers the module(s) assigned to the new step. This allows a single drum zone to cycle through different samples, chord progressions, or synth voices. Sequencers can be nested (a sequencer inside another sequencer) for increased variability.

  6. Overview of the Sensory Percussion software interface

    v1

    The Sensory Percussion software interface is organized into several key functional areas to manage percussion sounds and performance:

    • Set Manager and File Menu: For file and session management.
    • Kit Selector Scroll Bar: For navigating and selecting different kits.
    • Pad Visualizer Panel: For visual feedback and configuration of pads.
    • Mixer Panel: For controlling audio levels and routing.
    • Library and Controllers Panel: For browsing sounds and managing controller assignments.
    • Sampler, Pad Effects, and MIDI Panel: For detailed sound editing, applying effects to specific pads, and MIDI configuration.

  7. Overview of Sensory Percussion Audio Streamer

    v1
    The Sensory Percussion Audio Streamer is a beta plugin (available for Windows and macOS 64-bit in VST and Audio Unit formats) that mirrors audio output from Sensory Percussion channels into a DAW. This allows users to monitor, process, and record the audio within their preferred digital audio workstation.

  9. Overview of the Compressor effect

    v2
    The Compressor narrows the dynamic range of a signal by reducing the volume of any signal that rises above a specified threshold. This brings loud peaks closer to quiet parts for a more even mix. It can be used for standard dynamic control or for 'ducking' (where an external signal triggers the compression).

  10. Overview of Sensory Percussion hardware input types

    v2

    Sensory Percussion supports 10 different hardware input types, categorized into three main groups:

    • Sensors (7 types): The primary inputs for the Sensory Percussion experience. These include specialized controls to train the software to respond to a user's specific playing style.
    • Analog: Standard analog inputs.
    • MIDI (2 types): Standard MIDI inputs.

    Unlike Sensor inputs, Analog and MIDI inputs do not feature the specialized training controls and are utilized differently within the software.

  11. Overview of Sensory Percussion

    v1
    Sensory Percussion is music software designed for drummers to create virtual drum kits. It allows users to control samples, synthesizers, and effects using physical drums. The software is designed to be scalable, allowing for complex layers of samples and effects depending on the user's hardware capabilities and skill level. It includes preset samples and kits to demonstrate how samples can be combined with controllers and effects.

  12. Browse and manage samples in the Sensory Percussion Library

    v1
    The Sensory Percussion Library panel provides access to Sunhouse samples, effects, and kits, as well as user-defined samples and set files. Users can search for samples and kits using the search bar and sort results alphabetically, by size, or by date using the buttons at the top of the panel. Bookmarks can be added to local computer folders for quicker access.
