Product Overview

I don't think anyone has tried this before, it's pretty exciting - here's how it works...

All 72 sounds in PLANKTON DRUMMER have the fundamental note tuned as closely as possible to something that resembles a useful pitch. This isn't an exact science because snares, high hats etc have a lot of complex harmonics bouncing around - it's do-able, but tricky. Electronic components are a bit more open to being kicked into shape.

So, the C5 BOOM key is loaded with electronic kick sounds that are tuned to C, the D5 DOOF key is loaded with acoustic kicks that are tuned (if possible) to D, the B5 FULL KIT key is loaded with full acoustic and electronic drum kits that are all tuned (if possible) to a B etc...

Set key to C# and scale to Hungarian Gypsy and those Cs will play as C#, D stays where it is and B becomes a C - told you it was exciting : )

Play the C5 BOOM key and the sequencer and FX that are specific to that note are opened, you can rummage around to your hearts content and not affect other notes.

Hit FX LANES to control FX with a sequencer

With BEND ON the sequenced notes, will move through the notes of the chosen scale/key - or not : )

VEL DEPTH controls how much affect the green velocity lane has on volume. Right click to learn and use a midi controller to create pattern nuance and drum rolls

it's not an exact science

products-1

PLANKTON DRUMMER is above all playful and intuitive, it quickly helps you develop unexpected and original ideas. Combine the kick of a Roland 909 with a flabby Ludwig snare, percussion from the OPTIGAN and modular high hats. Quickly load a Reggaeton kick pattern and play it against the snare pattern of '50 ways to leave your lover' with trap hi-hats. Quantize the pitch to A# Bebop minor - THIS IS ALL POSSIBLE !

products-2

PLANKTON DRUMMER comes with 72 instruments, over 3000 samples, 107 single instrument presets patterns and 30 full blown snapshots that are entire tracks in themselves.
