Our take on Percussive VR
Its focus on percussion gives up breadth: the available instruments center on mallet and steel-drum performance, so it is less suited to players seeking a general virtual music studio experience.
What is Percussive VR?
Percussive VR offers virtual versions of percussion instruments for learning, practice, performance, or free play.
The collection includes marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, steelpan, steel drums, and glockenspiel. Players can import sheet music, adjust a metronome, show or hide note names, choose different mallets for varied sounds, and change instrument height. The product focuses on playing percussion instruments in a home setting, with additional instruments and features listed as planned additions.
