RD-7 Real Drum Module

The RD-7 is a stereo drum module with more than 100 drum sounds plus a full set of GM-compatible percussion. Drums are mapped in GM

standard mapping (from A#0-C5), featuring mixable overhead and room mics, plus special pre-programmed FX per kit. Drum sounds are easily

auditioned, assigned, and edited by ﬁrst clicking a key on the stylized keyboard at the bottom of the instrument (toms, hats, crashes, and rides

are handled as sets).
