PRESS RELEASE
Submersible Music Announces ZoroPack I for DrumCore Users
January 24, 2005
Advertisement Submersible Music used the NAMM show to introduce the "ZoroPack I" DrummerPack, for use with its DrumCore software. Zoro has played with a huge variety of artists, including Bobby Brown and Lenny Kravitz. He also wrote the popular "Commandments of R&B Drumming: A Comprehensive Guide to Soul, Funk & Hip Hop" instructional DVD series. ZoroPack I is targeted at producers, composers, and musicians who want a huge number of funky grooves and variations that lend themselves to R&B, hip hop, and pop song styles. Submersible DrummerPacks are add-on libraries for DrumCore, and are arranged into "GroovePacks", which include a variety of grooves and fills that work well together, for easier song construction. DrummerPacks also come pre-configured with metadata information for use with the DrumCore search engine. This provides quick access to all the audio and MIDI content loaded into DrumCore. Search content based on style (rock, funk, alternative, etc.), feel (straight, shuffle, etc.), time signature and tempo. Users can even add their own criteria (create a new "style" for example) and enter their own comments for searching. DrumCore also exports directly to Pro Tools, Logic, and Digital Performer sessions. Grooves were recorded in 10 BPM increments for the most musical grooves, which keeps audio quality from being compromised by extreme time-stretching or beat-slicing. All audio is 48kHz/24-bit and recorded in professionally designed studios using state-of-the-art digital (ProTools HD3) and analog (SSL 9000, Neve, etc.). When asked about his DrumCore work, Zoro said, "All the different artists I've worked with over the years would only capture a certain part of what I do, based on the style of that artist and the style of that music. My best work that I've ever done in terms of my grooves , my playing and my feel, is all on that DrumCore product. The DrumCore team let me cut loose and let me create without any chains or barriers on me." ZoroPack I will be available Q2 2005 and requires DrumCore 1.5. It will be priced at $79.99, US retail. Current DrumCore 1.0 users will receive a free upgrade to DrumCore 1.5, giving them access to ZoroPack I and other DrummerPack expansion packs. ZoroPack I GroovePacks Include:
