Ready Out of the Box
Fairview comes with four mix presets created by Anup Sastry, Ryan Wood, and Drewsif. Each one gives you a different flavor — from clean and balanced to heavy and aggressive — so you can find the right sound quickly and stay focused on the music.
One-Shot Flexibility
Need to push a kick harder or tighten a snare? Fairview makes it simple. Load your own kick and snare one-shots directly into the kit, or choose from the built-in hits. Multiple room variations for snare one-shots let you add space and depth that feel natural in the mix.
Shape Your Sound
The Envelopes page gives you control over the character of every hit. Adjust the sustain and punch with Attack, Hold, and Release settings until the drums sit just right. The same controls apply to your custom one-shots, making them blend seamlessly with the kit.
100+ Grooves and Fills
The built-in Groove Player comes loaded with more than 100 grooves and fills. Browse, preview, and drag them into your DAW to spark ideas or sketch full arrangements. It’s a fast way to keep momentum when inspiration strikes.
