Review: Perfperc Volume One by Performance Samples

Great sounding percussion instruments
Wide variety of instrument timbres
Use of X-Fade Rolls is innovative
Easy to play and perform with
Lack of metals although these may come in future volumes
Performance Samples have a rich history of developing interesting, intriguing and innovative virtual instruments, today I am looking at their first foray into the world of percussion. With so many percussion libraries out there what makes this one stick out from the crowd and more importantly will it find it’s way into our workflow?
