System Requirements
- Operating system: Depends on the supported host application (commonly Windows / macOS 64-bit).
- Hard disk space: Please reserve sufficient space to install and load the expansion content.
- Authorization/installation: An internet connection may be required to complete download or activation (depending on the actual licensing mechanism).
- Compatibility: Requires a compatible host application that supports drum triggering/drum samples.

Supported Applications and Host Integration
Drum Vault Exp., as an expansion sound library, must be loaded into a compatible drum-trigger or drum-sampler host, which is then inserted into your DAW (such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, Live, etc.) as a plugin. The typical workflow is: on the drum track, have the compatible host detect or receive trigger signals, select this expansion sound, and adjust layering, dynamics, and mix balance to complete drum replacement or thickening. When used with AI assistants or automated workflows, trigger detection, layering, and export steps can be templated to speed up batch processing across multiple songs.
