Instruments
All the instruments are available in three "round robin" versions to offer the most possible flexibility to your need. Round-robin refers to the process of cycling through multiple alternate samples/recordings of a particular hit type creating a more human feel. Additionally you can chose between three stereo and two surround variations which offer up to seven Microphone positions. The more microphones and the more round robin the larger the instrument and the system load.
