A sample-based groovebox offering endless possibilities for creating and performing beats with a simple, inspiring workflow.

A specialist for synthetic drums, combining classic and modern synthesis with flexible modulations and sequencing.

DrumComputer is a software instrument designed for creating synthetic drum sounds. It features eight independent sound engines, each layering a Resonator, Wavetable/Analogue Oscillator, and Resynth/Sampler, enabling a broad range of timbres. Each sound engine includes a filter, compressor, overdrive, and send reverbs (Room and Hall). The instrument includes two ENV/LFO hybrids and a modulation matrix for deep sound design. A 16-step sequencer offers probability, rolls, step delay, and swing. Intelligent randomizers generate endless drum sounds and kits. DrumComputer supports importing user samples, MIDI drag-and-drop, and multiple audio/MIDI outputs. The Finalizer section combines transient shaping, compression, maximization, and saturation to enhance drum attacks. DrumComputer is available as a VST2, VST3, AAX, and standalone application for macOS and Windows.
