Our newly developed “Natural” algorithm provides artifact-free shaping, even when pushing your sound into more extreme territories. To give you more options, we also include the beloved “Classic” algorithm from our flagship Addictive Drums 2 also a “Smooth” algorithm with an extra-long release time for parallel compression-like results. With three fantastic algorithms at your fingertips, you will have everything you need to make your drums shine. MOJO™ - The secret weapon for adding flavor color to your drums: This unique technology uses tuned transient shaping to achieve EQ compression-like results in situations where traditional EQs compressors would have limited benefit. This opens up a world of exciting sound design possibilities ranging from minimal polishing to extreme mangling. How does MOJO work? Whereas a typical EQ affects all sounds equally on a track, MOJO lets you shape transients only in specific frequency bands of your track while leaving other frequencies bands non-transients unaffected. This lets you do things like increase decrease high-frequency “snap” on a drum mix, add remove midrange “body” from your snare drum, control the low-end “tightness” of a kick drum. The transient shaping MOJO components of the DS-10 are independent of each other. This means MOJO can be used along with DS-10’s transient processor all on its own.
