This Free Rack Wednesday is a first. I usually make Audio and MIDI effect racks but this week I got a reach out from Mode Audio who makes really great sample packs. They asked me to make an exclusive Drum Rack using one of their sample packs.
Of course, I couldn’t use an entire commercial pack but I did get my hands on a selection of heavily processed sounds from their Ignition pack.

This Drum Rack comes in a form of a sound selector for each drum element. Meaning you can use the first Macro to switch between different sounds of the same category.

I’ve also added my Channel Strip Rack to each pad to give easy and efficient drum processing control.

Mode Audio was also kind enough to provide this blog’s readers with 15% off their products. Simply use the code BRAIN15 at checkout.
