DESCRIPTION

Please enable Info Hints to get infos on each element of the GUI.

3 Drumsynth Modules with:
-3 Oscillator channels (bodys)
-2 Noise channels with 3 noise sources and external input
-1 LFO
-Master Filter
-EQ with 2 stages of saturation
-Auto-triggered Tapedeck for easy sample export.

The Oscillator channels can be FM'd by all channels and noise sources and all channels can Ring- and Amplitude-modulate each other.
The trigger of the topmost channels can be doubled, triggers of the other channels can be delayed.

If an oscillator is in 808 mode, the decay reacts a bit different, the attack slider has no effect and the phase knob controls the attack transient.

For the main ensemble the keys are:
C3 - Kick
D3 - Snare
F#3 - Hat

The 3 Drum Modules are connected to separate outputs for further processing.

A second ensemble is included for playing chromatically tuned drums (DrumDesigner mkII -m).

I was looking for something like the original drumsyn from 1999 and this seems very close with even more functionality!

Thanks for the comments! I'm really happy you people like this! @Willie Lewis "trigger button" simply refers to the midi gate, you just need to send a gate that is on as long as the sound is playing. PS: If you use this in a Blocks setup you can hide it behind the B-Panel, which is small enough to fit one Block.

Perfect drum synth with loads of possibilities! Great with Kodiak block sequencers. Thank you! ?- Hints info on tape deck says to "hold down trigger button as long as the sound is playing" but where is the trigger button?

Kudos Mathias Schaffner !!! this is the most perfect drum synth, as i am concerned....and i have FXpansion Tremor..not that i won't use some of my other drum synths on occasion yet, but i can see going for DrumDesigner now 90% of the time... all i ever run is Kick, Snare ,and Hat; generally complex rythems leaving room for the rest of the instrumentation. I Want my drums to sound synthetic but thick and / or complex
