Ambience drums on every drumkit in the pa5x

Ambience drums on every drumkit

The genos 2 just showed a new feature called Ambience drums, which is a really nice new feature.

On the Pa5x (and older models) we already had ambience drums with a fixed recording sample of the ambience, just select the DRUMKIT AMB of your preference that are available on the pa5x and press the menu button and then the drum editor tile to modify the ambience level per drum group.

But we want more and have that effect available on any drumkit, and not limited to a prerecorded sample but we want to create our own rooms, and that is possible on the pa5x.

On the pa5x we have an effect called 'Reverb Room', in this effect you can design your own room and add that characteristics to any drumkit we have. You have access to things like:
- the size of the room (reverb time)
- the placement of the microphones (pre delay)
- the materials on the surface (high damp)
- the density of the reflections (ER level)
- the frequencies of the source material (Pre HEQ)

By combining these parameters you can design your own rooms. So you are not limited to sampled characteristics of ambience drums.

It's very powerful and can bring new life to all the existing drumkits in your pa5x.
