Soundwise Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Same here. Instant buy. Not sure if I really need this or will prefer it against SD3, AD2, EZD2, Strike or even Session Drummer 3. But it's good to have Slate's samples at hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It's a decent program especially if you want that Steven Slate "sound". With gun to my head I'd take Toontrack (EZD/Sup 3) over Slate but fortunately that's not the case. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piotr Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 If only they shared samples for slate trigger and ssd not forcing to pay twice for the same price per set 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vernon Barnes Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) The sounds are great but for me the player has been the issue, I think I even preferred it when it was a Kontakt instrument. If fact I was considering reinstalling the Kontakt version now I have some free disc space, if I can find my backup discs. I had hoped version 5 would address some of my dislike of version 4 but the free version has not convinced me. That said this is a very good price for some excellent sounding drums.

telecode 101 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 how does this compare to NI Abbey Road or Drumlab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drumlab is a bit of a specialty really if you want to create hybrid sounds so i would not say Slate compared in concept. The Abbey Road drums are probably on a par sound wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got used to the Abbey Roads kits and the mixer and being able to separate different drums to different midi channels. I never tried SS Drums but always heard good things about it.

I lost my original install disks for Slate Drums in Konakt somewhere around buying the first version of native SSD. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LasWaltz Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Warning. I am struggling to get ilok code for ssd bought over https://www.thomannmusic.com/slate_digital_steven_slate_drums_5.htm You get what it seems a legit ssd5 code from th. but it seems slate has no option to install 5 anymore. I am failing to register my license number. I wrote to th. Will keep everyone posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillmy Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It's a Legit site though, I bought Reason 11 upgrade for cheap from them and also iZotope products with no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) I just got an email $99 buying direct from Slate. $49 for trigger. https://stevenslatedrums.com/ssd5/?utm_campaign=End of Summer Drum Sale 2020 &utm_medium=email&_hsmi=92629653&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-91I5L0BXIYDlubejAsBajBVumf6VjVE1Vs3QIj0uwBP7G1UU_jXmeWPl5wDdOxvlY_FD3CcJ8Svxm7KuG3ZSMfWzWN4Q&utm_content=92629653&utm_source=hs_email Edited August 4, 2020 by Vernon Barnes Correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monomox Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) $99 was a mistake. It was listed as $49 in other places, such as Plugin Fox, but now it's listed as $99 https://pluginfox.co/products/steven-slate-drums-5 EDIT: it's still $49 at Thomann, so who knows EDIT 2: $49 at Best Service maybe it's a mistake but the European people went to bed and didn't realize? We'll see tomorrow. Edited August 4, 2020 by Monomox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezza Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Just another GUI disaster as far as I am concerned, too much going on, it's just a drum kit ffs. Used to be better when they first came out. I wouldn't use them even if they were free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
