Pipeline Audio has released KMS Drums, a free acoustic drum instrument in VSTi/AU plugin format for Windows and Mac.
KMS Drums are a drum sample set and a VST-i recorded at Kailua Music School, Kailua, Oahu, Hawai’i.
KMS Drums is available for free download via Pipeline Audio (401MB total download size, 5,465 samples in 24-bit WAV format, 32-bit & 64-bit VSTi/AU plugin format for Windows & Mac).
The installation is a bit tricky. You will need to download the sample library (1.37GB size on disk!), appropriate VSTi/AU plugin for your system, and a MS2 file, all of which are separate downloads. Detailed installation instructions are available on the download page.
KMS Drums features 8 velocity layers with 8 round robin variations and 16 individual outputs. The included samples were recorded at the Kailua Music School.
I still haven’t tested the plugin itself, but I took a listen to the included samples and they do sound quite promising. Looking forward to installing this properly and giving it a go.
