The idea to sample this drum kit came up as we have been looking for new and fresh drum samples which have not the usual sample sources from famous and legendary drum machines like a Roland TR808, TR909 and so on.

Urban Drum Assault contains 100 different Bass Drums, 75 Snares and 25 HiHat samples which match for modern Urban/HipHop productions. Each of this samples exists in two different sound variations so that you get 200 Bass Drums, 150 Snare and 50 HiHat samples.

Apart from all the amazing features of the original VoiceLive 2, this new Extreme Edition offers twice the looping memory, an enhanced microphone preamp for ultimate transparancy, new breathtaking Extreme Edition presets and an appearance that is sure to make a major impact on any stage with its new, extruded aluminum chassis and artwork in the coolest of blue!

VoiceLive 2 Extreme Edition will deliver: auto-adaptive compression & equalization, reverbs, delays, modulation effects, harmony processing, doubling, and more. All effects can be combined, tweaked and stored as personal presets for anything from 'smooth-producer-like' sounds to 'dirty-and-in-your-face' outrage to 'downright-spacious' weirdness – or anything in between. At the end of the day, it's all about every singers' natural right to express themselves on the stage.
