Checking Out: Rhythmic Origins by Soundiron


Rhythmic Origins is a unique selection of 73 multi-sampled percussion instruments from all over the world, curated from the collection of acclaimed UK percussionist David Oliver.

The sounds found in Rhythmic Origins are very detailed and unique, focusing mostly on intimate solo percussion and unique textures and tones. The samples themselves are fantastic, each instrument sounds unique and full of character, and you get a fairly wide variety of instruments as well- resonant bass drums, delicate hand drums, and textured wood and metal auxillary instruments. The GUI is very nicely thought out and implemented, and makes it very easy to map any instrument to any key on your MIDI controller. You can also hit the randomize dice and get an entirely new set of instruments mapped to the entirety of the keyboard in one click.

The samples come with a nice range of dynamic layers, so they sound good even when doing fast 16th or 32nd notes in succession when you vary the velocity in your sequencer. There is also an FX rack included to add more flavor to the samples, a convolution reverb to add space with 99 different impulse responses from various environments, as well as a useful arpeggiator and filter sequencer for the solo instruments.
