Session Drummer 2 (Studio only)
Figure 406. Session Drummer 2
Session Drummer 2 is a professional drum sampler and pattern player. It features Cakewalkâs
patented Expression Engine technology, an anti-aliased, real-time sound production system for
multisample audio playback. You can load single samples (Wave or AIFF files), or multisamples,
(SFZ files) which already contain key mapping and velocity switching assignments. You can load
samples in any bit depth and sample rate, in mono or stereo, in looped or unlooped format. Wave
and AIFF files can be loaded directly, or as a sample inside an SFZ definition file.
Samples can be of any bit depth (8 to 32-bit), any sampler-ate, and either mono or stereo. Each
sample in a multisample can be a standard PCM Windows wave file (.wav), an Apple audio format
(.aiff) or a compressed file in the standard, high-quality, open and royalty-free ogg-vorbis format
(.ogg).
Alternatively, it is possible to open multisample definition files (.sfz) or individual samples by drag
and dropping them into an instrument pad.
