Also Druma Vol2 for A4/AK is due for release later this year, it is almost done but admin and organisation needs finishing, currently my AK is not available to use at present but once it is set up I will get it finished and ready.
@plragde Sorry, they should show up on the page, but here they are - by far nowhere near comprehensive examples though, I need to make some more demos.
I didnāt know about these! Iāve been using both the DN and A4 for percussion lately. I might be checking out all three packs.
Itās nice to load up other peopleās patches, because there are so many ways to design drum sounds. Itās fun to take them and then tweak them further to my liking.
This is exactly why I made them, for people to tweak as required, so all things like envelopes, filters and structural components of the sounds are there, to save time rather than doing all that from scratch each time say you need a snare or whatever. That said they are of course fully finished sounds ready to use as-is if required. The good thing about using a synth for drums is playing the sounds at different keys can give a nice amount of variety too.
Nice! Yeah, I use patches almost as āpatch templatesā really. Even my own patches get tweaked for each context. For drum sounds this is a total time saver.
Have you seen this guyās Digitone drum synthesis tips?
Some really clever stuff in there! Some are pretty standard drum design techniques, but then there are some really interesting Digitone-specific tips, like cross-fading between the X and Y operator mixer with an envelope to get different timbre on the attack. The video isnāt new or anything, but itās one of the coolest resources Iāve seen on Digitone drums.
I have not seen that video, though Iām quite an old hand so Iām pretty clued up on drum synthesis, I made presets for Elektron when they first started, and been doing drum synthesis for well over 30 years now (even though Iām only 25 ) but yep always nice to have handy resources to draw upon, I recommend the SOS drum synthesis articles too.
