Slate Digital's Trigger 2 Platinum is a next-generation drum replacement VST/RTAS/AU plug-in. Trigger 2 Platinum has a phase accurate multi-layered triggering engine. This means that in one instance of the plug-in, you can seamlessly trigger multiple samples simultaneously, such as a close mic sample, stereo overhead sample and a stereo room mic samples. Or, mix many direct mic samples to develop your own custom unique sounds. This multi-channel triggering functionality allows the user to recreate the sound of natural drums with real multitracked samples. Each sample layer has parameters for customization, such as velocity and dynamic control, attack, sustain, release and independent levels. Other features include two detection modes, MIDI in/out, automation of detecting parameters, up to 127 different articulations per instrument, up to 127 velocity layers per instrument and up to 127 alternation hits per velocity layer, and a unique "Leakage Suppression" function.

Trigger 2 Platinum instrument library contains more than 2.3GB of high-quality 24-bit samples compressed using Trigger lossless sample compression (6GB uncompressed). Trigger 2 Platinum instrument library includes: 46 snares (including two high-detailed Deluxe snares with adjustable overheads and 12 alternation hits per each velocity), 33 kick drums (including 2 Deluxe kick drums), 8 sets of toms.
