// News about the Berlin Percussion pre-order //
Hey guys (and gals),
your feedback to Berlin Percussion has been great so far (thanks for the encouragement!) and I received the cries of despair from you The Glock and The Timpani users in the dozens.
I have brought your case to the powers up high (read: my bosses), pleaded for you, used my best puppy face and am very happy to announce not only a continuation of the pre-order intro deal for one week until October 23rd to give you all time to think about getting what we believe is the most flexible percussion collection on the market, but also a small reward for being loyal users:
All The Glock users who purchase Berlin Percussion or Berlin Percussion Bundle before the end of the intro deal will receive a 30€ voucher for any future purchase.
All The Timpani users who purchase Berlin Percussion before the end of the intro deal will receive a 50€ voucher for any future purchase.
All The Glock + The Timpani users who purchase Berlin Percussion before the end of the intro deal will receive a 80€ voucher for any future purchase.
These vouchers will be sent out after the intro deal ends (please allow a few days for me to sift through your accounts) and will of course also be sent out to users who purchased BPC or the bundle prior to this announcement.
Just to reiterate again: Everyone who bought The Timpani in the past will receive a free upgrade to the expanded BPC Expansion A - The Timpani for free.
Berlin Percussion and Berlin Percussion EXP A - The Timpani will be released on October 16.
all the best

Berlin Percussion marks another major addition to the Berlin Series.
A series well known for its flexibility, detail and its extensive sets of articulations,
recorded with first call musicians from world-famous Orchestras at the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin. In addition to all the new approaches and features brought by this Collection, it is the sound that makes Berlin Percussion outstanding.
All instruments are recorded in their natural positions within the beautiful acoustics of Teldex, famous for its perfect proportions of reverb for samples and live recordings. A room that isn't too wet to stay flexible with your productions
and which also isn't too dry so that its natural acoustics help to blend all the orchestral instruments together as one entity.
With Berlin Percussion we followed the Multiple Instrument Concept that allows you to create your own unique percussion ensembles out of e.g. 7 different Snare Drums or 4 sizes of Gran Cassas. All of them are sampled individually and rich in details and articulations. A uniform mapping structure and articulation set let you easily stack instruments over each other. All articulations and instruments are preserved in their natural volume balance. Switching e.g. from one snare drum to any other without changing notes in your arrangement is now possible.
The Instruments in Berlin Percussion offer a range of dynamics never heared before and with CAPSULE we were able to create absolutely smooth transition curves between all these dynamic layers to come as close to the real instrument as possible. The propensity to detail, the extensive set of articulations and the different mallets you can choose from make Berlin Percussion a suberb Orchestral Composing Tool which is designed to be used for many a year.
Like all Berlin Series Collections, Berlin Percussion will use the most powerful articulation system CAPSULE within Kontakt which is especially designed to unveil all the potential that lies in our extensive Sample Content.
Listen to some demo composition made by Benny Oschmann, Stan Berzon and Ben Botkin.
In the Soundcloud descriptions you can see which Berlin Percussion patches were used.
