Direct, straightforward, no frills and no bloat! Poise aims to make working with drum samples quick and painless, allowing you to focus on making music.
Poise features 16 drum pads, which can each use 8 samples. Sample layers have parameters for pitch, volume and balance, as well as amplitude and pitch envelopes. There are several sample switching types including random, velocity and round-robin.
A browser allows samples to be previewed and loaded via drag and drop. (Drag and drop works from several sources including windows explorer and some host applications.) Samples can also be copied/moved from pad to pad with drag and drop.
Poise comes with an exclusive set of 30 drum kits created by TeamDNR.
The drum kits have been designed to provide a variety of bread and butter 'go to' drum sounds. Also included is 200 individual cells which contain effect and modulation configurations. This allows individual drum hits to be easily mixed and matched for custom drum kit creation.
