Chapter 76: Boom
Boom is a virtual drum machine that features a
broad range of electronic percussion sounds,
paired with a simple, drum-machine-style pat-
tern sequencer. Boom is as an RTAS plug-in that
is part of the Avid Virtual Instrument collection
of plug-ins.
Drum patterns can be created from scratch, or
adapted from one of the included preset pat-
terns. Patterns can be triggered and switched in
real time with the mouse or using MIDI data, fa-
cilitating the rapid creation of evolving drum
patterns.
Boom comes with 10 drum kits inspired by clas-
sic electronic drum machines. Each individual
sound in a kit can have its volume, pan, pitch,
and decay manipulated and automated in real
time.
Sounds can be shaped to fit the needs of your
production, and even given further animation
over time using automation.
Each pattern is one bar long, with sixteen 16th-
note steps. Up to 16 patterns, along with kit and
control settings, can be saved with each Preset.
