TRIGGER 2 Platinum｜Industry Standard Drum Replacement and Enhancement Plugin

Unleash the Drum Potential in Your Mix, Create World-Class Impact

TRIGGER 2 Platinum is the audio industry's open secret weapon worldwide, designed to achieve massive, professional drum sounds in your mixes. It's not just a simple trigger, but the core of the powerful and clear drum sounds found in countless Grammy-winning mixers' works. Through its intuitive and easy-to-use interface, you can quickly replace or layer kick, snare, and tom drums from your recordings with a vast library of professional drum samples from Steven Slate. For any producer or mixer seeking top-tier drum sounds, this powerful drum replacement plugin is a crucial mixing tool for enhancing the quality of your productions. Its precise phase alignment engine and powerful drum samples ensure every trigger is flawless and seamlessly integrated into your music.

TRIGGER 2's phase-accurate multi-layered triggering engine allows you to seamlessly trigger up to eight stereo samples simultaneously, such as a close-mic sample, a pair of stereo overhead samples, and a pair of stereo room mic samples. Alternatively, you can blend multiple direct mic samples to create your own unique sound. This multi-channel triggering capability enables users to perfectly reproduce the sonic dynamics and spatial feel of natural drum kits with authentic multi-track samples. Each sample layer features comprehensive customizable parameters, including velocity and dynamic control, Attack, Sustain, Release, and independent volume levels, offering unparalleled control and sound shaping flexibility.

Product Features

• Industry Standard Sound Library: Built-in industry-standard drum samples personally crafted by Steven Slate. These sounds are widely used by top mixers such as Chris Lord Alge, Ross Hogarth, and Jeff Juliano. All samples were recorded through 2-inch tape and processed with top-tier modern and classic analog equipment.
• Eight-Layer Stereo Samples: TRIGGER 2's sample mixer allows you to stack eight multi-velocity samples. This means you can have multiple close-mic, overhead, and room mic layers simultaneously within a single plugin instance, and craft the ultimate perfect drum sound through a classic mixer interface.
• Phase-Accurate Triggering Engine: Exclusive Phase Alignment Algorithm ensures that the replaced drum sounds are perfectly aligned with the original tracks, completely eliminating hollow, thin sounds caused by phase cancellation, and preserving the full impact of the sound.
• Smart Transient Driven Gate: TRIGGER 2's built-in transient-driven gating function is highly praised by professional audio engineers, capable of easily and precisely cleaning up unnecessary noise and bleed in tracks, making drum sounds cleaner and more focused.
• Exclusive Leakage Suppression Technology: Through its proprietary Leakage Suppression feature, you can send bleed signals from other microphones to the plugin, allowing it to intelligently ignore these interferences, achieving precise sample replacement even at extremely low velocities, without false triggers.
• Comprehensive MIDI Capabilities: The powerful MIDI engine not only allows you to trigger drum sounds via MIDI signals, but also enables direct drag-and-drop conversion of audio drum tracks into MIDI notes, greatly facilitating the arrangement and subsequent editing processes.
• Expandable Sound Libraries Support: In addition to the built-in Platinum sound library, TRIGGER 2 can load more expansion packs, such as master-level sounds from Steven Slate Deluxe, Chris Lord Alge, Terry Date, Blackbird Studios, and David Bendeth.
