All the goods in one box, mapped to gm standards:

DSK mini DrumZ



DSK mini DrumZ is a "Drum ROMpler". It includes 20 kits featuring the sounds of the following drum machines:

• Ace Tone Rhythm Ace, Kakehashi's pre-Roland sound drum machine.
• Akai XE8, the 1U rack mount unit with 16-bit drum samples.
• Akai XR10.
• Alesis HR-16, one of Alesis's first drum machines.
• Boss DR-55, first drum machine from Roland with the name Boss.
• Boss DR-220, typical mid 80's digital drum sounds.
• Fricke MSB512
• Kawai R50, 12 bit 32K sampled drums.
• Korg DDD-1, came with 18 short PCM samples.
• Korg DDM110, lo-fi and crunchy sounding.
• Mattel SynSonic, from the people who brought you Barbie.
• MXR 185, the machine where it's hard to tell rim from snare.
• Roland CR-78, the 1978 drum machine that used analog drum voices.
• Roland TR-606, originally designed to be used with the Roland TB-303.
• Roland TR-727, latin drum kit version of the TR-707.
• Roland TR-808, originally manufactured for use as a tool for studio musicians to create demos.
• Roland TR-909, partially analog, partially sample-based drum machine.
• SCI DrumTraks, Sequential's first digital drum machine.
• SCI Tom, similar to the DrumTraks but more advanced.
• Yamaha RX11, the drum machine that looks like a DX.

Apparently too low in volume but that surely will be fixed soon, until then - use an amp emu.

at a glance:
• transformer style signal saturation
• smooth transient polishing and increased RMS leveling
• subtle analog style signal colouration
• switchable sub bass enhancements

features:
• zero latency processing, low CPU usage
• harmonic enhancements without artefacts (aliasing)
• dynamic noise model
• proprietary signal processing and modelling algorithms implemented
• performance crucial parts are written in assembler, completely SSE optimized

requirements:
• Windows 98, 2000, XP, SSE support
• Tested and known to work in many VST compatible hosts

Rescue



Rescue is part of a small series of signal modelling VST fx and is released as freeware.
Rescue features decent gain and transient mechanics applied straight forward to m/s encoding. Some decent non-linear signal couloration is given as well.
For further features and overall handling please check the manual. Use the presets for inspiration but don't take them to serious - u will have to tweak your own like with EQ or Comp.

Requirements: PC only, VST compatible host und SSE compatible CPU. Basic m/s understanding.
