Product details
Brand: Spitfire Audio
Contemporary Drama Toolkit is a broadcast-ready sound set, expertly curated and produced by award-winning composer Samuel Sim and our team of composers, to help you score to picture without the theory — without compromising on emotion. Across 72 individual instrument patches and 44 combinations, expression is baked into each sound, leaving you to focus on your music instead of software menus.
Much like the massively successful British Drama Toolkit, CDT’s sound palette is thoughtfully curated. Originating in a masterful blending of its source material — mellow, chorus tones of a Juno 6, iconic MS–20 textures, vocalisations, and inspiring lead lines performed on guitar, electric cello, and electric violin — all processed via an enviable collection of analog effects, vintage pedals, and Eurorack modules. Everything from whispered textures and bold melodies blossom from the simplest variance in playing, unlocking a world of sound in every patch.

I have to add that I am a complete beginner, but playing around with this plugin using Ableton Live and my Push 2 is a breeze. The expression you can hear on the velocity sensitive layered notes is very impressive. Highly recommended.
I can give this 5 Stars because I got it at a discount, for the full price I would wish for some more Synth-Options to give it 5 Stars. Overall this is a very powerfull tool if you are looking for a "sounds good right out of the box" kind of instrument, that takes a lot of work out of your hands and makes scoring a simple scene a matter of minutes without sacrificing quality in sound. As with the BDT, I find that a lot of fun. Getting creative in the details with it works too but in some corners I can notice that this is not its main purpose. A great tool for...well...drama.
essential, amazing, innovative,
I searched for these sounds for a very long time. Now I just have to launch an instance of CDT. Great sounds, great interface. It blend perfectly with Albion Neo, Chambers Evolutions or Stratus. I love it
