2 complete kits5by5 Studios, HelsinkiPlugin and application

Northern Artillery Drums is a metal drum library built by Ugritone with Matias Kupiainen, guitarist and producer of Stratovarius — performed by the band’s drummer Rolf Pilve and recorded at 5by5 Studios in Helsinki.

Two complete kits, multi-sampled in detail through Ugritone’s own sampling engine, with a GUI that keeps routing and MIDI mapping in reach — covering ground from blistering death metal to the anthemic rise of power metal.

At a Glance

  • Two complete kits and an inventory the field lists as three kicks, six snares and two sets of five toms
  • 62 one-shot triggers the field states the figure and does not say which drums they cover
  • The cymbals are not counted described as an “enormous cymbal set” and a “boatload of cymbals”, with no number given anywhere
  • Kit presets the feature list claims seven; the preset list under it carries six bullets
  • Routing and MIDI mapping multiple options, named by the field but never enumerated
  • Played and mixed by name Rolf Pilve on the kit, Matias Kupiainen on the mix

Stated without a number

CymbalsAn “enormous cymbal set” in the feature list and a “boatload of cymbals” in the body — described twice, counted never
Routing and mappingMultiple routing and MIDI mapping options; the field does not say how many
KitsTwo complete kits. The field does not say how the three kicks and six snares are distributed across them
SamplingMulti-sampled in detail through Ugritone’s own sampling engine
Not stated anywhereNo sample rate, bit depth, velocity-layer or round-robin figure, and no library size — the shop’s own record carries no size for this offer either
02The Preset Listsix bullets, seven claimed▾
Fat MetalNamed in the preset list
Northern Violence 1 – 3One bullet covering a range of three names
Death to the MetalNamed in the preset list
MetalcoreNamed in the preset list
NetombedNamed in the preset list, spelled as the field spells it
IndustrialNamed in the preset list, in a second list of its own
The countThe feature list says seven hand-crafted presets. The preset list beneath it has six bullets, and one of those is a range of three — six as bullets, eight expanded. Seven is neither
What they are forA starting point per genre and style, to flick through rather than dial in
03Formats, Hosts and Requirementsas stated▾
Plugin formatsThe specs sentence names four — a VST plugin, an Audio Units plugin, a VST3 plugin and an AAX plugin. The “Format” line directly under it names three: VST, AU, AAX. Both statements are the field’s own
Also an applicationThe specs sentence calls it a virtual instrument audio plugin and a software application
PlatformsThat same sentence names macOS, Windows and Linux. The OS line under it names only Windows and macOS. The field states both

Minimum hardware6 GB RAM, a dual-core CPU, 4 GB of hard drive space
Minimum softwareA supported OS and a supported DAW (VST, AU, AAX)
Host samplerThe field names no host sampler requirement

A drum library that names its drummer is making a different promise than one that names its sample count. This field does both, and the two do not line up: seven presets are claimed where six are listed, and the cymbal set is described twice and counted never. Everything above is what the field actually says.
