1. Main Features / Introduction
Thank you for choosing a
FAME Hybrid PRO sound module
. You have made the right choice. Your
new instrument offers you first-class sound quality and maximum flexibility. The
FAME Hybrid PRO
sound module
has an open sound architecture and offers you 12 independent trigger channels, 4
audio outputs and 4 GB sound memory.
Trigger
The
FAME Hybrid PRO sound module
has an ultra-fast and precise trigger interface and allows you
to play practically latency-free with a very wide dynamic range. Depending on the pad used, different
sounds can be triggered via different zones. The snare channel has 2 zones ( head, rim, cross stick),
the tom channels of the
FAME Hybrid sound module
have 1 zone, whereas the cymbal channels
offer 2 different sound zones (edge, bow and bell). In addition, the cymbal channels have a choke
function, which allows the manual muting of sounds like a conventional cymbal.
Sounds
The soundso f the
FAME Hybrid PRO sound module
impress with an absolutely natural sound
experience. This is achieved by a complex multi-layer process. Drums and cymbals were recorded in
hi-end sound studios with multiple microphones at different distances. Some sounds were rather "dry"
and others with clearly audible room acoustics ("Ambience") were mixed in stereo.
"Multi-Layer" at Fame means that each instrument is recorded at many different volume levels. This
means that not only the volume, but also the sound and frequency characteristics change with
different beat intensity. Some of the factory sounds consist of up to 128 individual layers. The result is
an absolutely natural sound behaviour and an outstanding authenticity of the samples.
You can assign any sound to each drum channel. However, there are instruments with several (sound)
zones, which are only completely available if they are also controlled by a suitable pad (e.g. cymbal
sounds with 3 zones: edge, surface, crest). Each drum sound is saved as a single file and clearly
sorted in folders. This way you always have an overview and can easily organize your sounds.
In addition, the Hybrid Pro features exclusive sounds by Simon Phillips and Marco
Minnemann. Both belong to the best drummers worldwide and have recorded their
own drum-set exclusively for the Fame Hybrid Pro.
