Authentic to drummers, authentic to mix engineers, authentic to experienced producers - and listeners. Where other drum instruments or libraries combine a multitude of separately sampled drums and cymbals to non-authentic sounding and musically crippled sets, Mixosaurus consists of ONE DRUMKIT that was set up all together and sampled with authentic ringing and sympathetic vibrations, and with a truly uncompromising focus on musical versatility and detail.

* Important Notes
Mixosaurus DAW Drums Kit A needs a Firewire 800 or eSATA connection for optimum disk streaming results. Connecting the hardware unit via Firewire400 or USB is possible but these interfaces are not fast enough for Mixosaurus' disk streaming demands and thus should only be used for non-realtime applications. Note that the system requirements list Firewire800 or eSATA interfaces and nothing less. FW400/USB are included to provide greater compatibility and convenience for backup purposes only.

Windows users please be aware that 2GB system RAM is the minimum you need to run Mixosaurus but that you might likely need more than that to use it realtime in a fully-fledged project. Be sure to check your system's capability of using more that 2GB RAM before you order-some PC systems will not recognize more, no matter how much you install.
