We came up with the concept for this while working on a track for a singer, and realizing that layering electronic snare samples for a huge sound is easy, but layering acoustic snares isn't nearly as convenient unless you use one-shot samples and therefore give up round robins, velocity layers, and all the organic nature of a well-sampled acoustic snare. Frankensnare lets you layer acoustic snare samples quickly and easily in one instance of a single plugin. It's the best of both worlds - the organic responsiveness of a well-sampled acoustic snare, and the power of a layered electronic snare.

All samples are also included as unlocked WAV files, for those who'd like to layer them as one-shots, the traditional way.

And here is the track which inspired the creation of Frankensnare. It uses the 14x8 birch snare, and towards the end of the verse the 80s sympathy and 10x6 snares join in to make a fuller sound. Also uses Swirly Drums for the kick and cymbals, Big Rusty Drums for the hi-hat, Gogodze Phu Vol I, String Cyborgs and Shinyguitar.
