Another great reason to get Computer Music magazine is the CM-505.
‘The CM-505 is a 24 note-polyphonic VST drum synthesizer. The instrument is designed specifically for creating synthetic drum sounds; no samples are used to create its sounds, not even a single cycle. The sounds created by the CM-505 have their roots in classic analogue drum machines. Although the CM-505 can replicate many of the sounds of these classic analogue drum machines, it also extends them into new sonic territory.’
The CM-505 comes bundled with loads of other free vst plugins on the disc that comes free with Computer Music every month.
Also the articles, reviews and tutorials make the magazoine worth it’s cover price alone.
The DVD disc crammed with lot’s of music making goodies just makes the magazine a great buy.

Loopzazoid by NextSoft is my favourite Drum Sampler VST,
It’s not out of the box because you need to create your own kits.
If like me you’ve got shed loads of drum samples it’s really easy to set up a kit.
Your samples though will probably need converting as Loopazoid only accepts samples at 16bit.
It’s free, it works and it’s totally customizable.
VST2 virtual drum sampler with 48 channels, 64 voices (stereo or mono), 4 stereo outputs. Compatible with 8/16 Bit WAV/AIFF samples.
Supported platforms: VST2 plugin for MacOS / Windows
Download for free here.
There are also some free resources regarding the Loopazoid(click)
And you never know, I might just create a kit and tutorial to fit in here.
