Explore the possibilities of Snapback.

Cableguys and BT designed Snapback around the small layers that change a drum’s attack and feel. Automatic hit detection handles alignment, while pre-transient material can introduce a short lead-in to the hit. Evaluate the result in a groove rather than judging only the size of a single isolated drum.

Key features

  • Automatic drum-hit detection
