Drum Tree is a collection of presets and instruments for Apple Logic Pro inspired by drums. The concept behind the sound set was to adapt electronic drum timbres, commonly handled as static snapshots in the form of samples, to the keyboard paradigm and reactive qualities of synthesis.

In addition to acting as source presets for resampling, these patches allow for heightened flexibility in sequencing dynamic rhythms and interactivity in performance contexts. Featuring three main components, the multi-format product includes files for the ES2 synthesizer and EXS24 sampler, as well as Channel Strips.

The 50 MB download includes 100 .pst files, 20 .EXS files, 150 WAV files (24-bit/44.1 kHz), and 10 .cst files.
Drum Tree is available now for $39.99.
