These are great starting points for use in your tracks, even if you don’t end up editing them. Towards the top are choices for the ten kits that are included.

Skins can be changed from clear to coated, drum sticks have a selection of nylon or wood tip, kick drum beater types can be switched, shell size, tuning, play style (location of where the stick hits the drum skin), and much more. Kits can be created from scratch letting you add the parts you want until it is just the way you’d like. MODO DRUM uses real-time modal synthesis technology to recreate the sound of drums and uses a modern sample engine for the cymbals. Fast forward to today – there’s a new kid on the block: MODO DRUM. In 2016 they released an impressive new product called MODO BASS which physically models the bass guitar to recreate the powerful tones that the actual instrument can achieve. They have also produced some hardware, including several iRig products and just lately the Uno hardware synthesizer. Over the years they’ve grown substantially and developed all kinds of music software such as Sampletank 4, T-RackS, and several guitar and bass amp simulation plugin systems.

The company was founded in Italy way back in 1996. IK Multimedia has been around since the early days of music software development. IK Multimedia delivers a cutting-edge drum sound using powerful modal synthesis that you have to hear to believe.
