In what looks like a bit of a cock-up, Sweetwater have announced Steven Slate Drums 5 Platinum before Steven Slate has. A nice find by eagle eyed Neil in the latest Sweetwater mailer it looks like this will be an announcement from Slate at AES.

Complete facts are sketchy but what we can see from the print ad is;

SSD5 Complete version for $399
SSD5 EX version for $149
Samples recorded on 2” tape
New browser
New mixer
Thousands of ‘go to’ grooves
Expansion packs from Chris Lord Alge, Terry Date and David Bendeth
VST, AU, RTAS and AAX

More to follow once the official announcement is made.
