H.G. Fortune has introduced a free drum machine for Windows, DrumBurst:
DrumBurst is an 8 parts drum machine with 64 waves at each slot making 512 waves in total: not too much for a quick selection but a good variety to work with. The inbuilt sequencer features 24 Main Pattern each based on the combination of a dedicated wave, Mute status and 1 out of 6 Step Pattern variations per part. This provides a lot of variation and less of programming effort as pattern can be re-used with a different instrument.
It’s a free download (.zip). If you give DrumBurst a try, let us know what you think of it!
Can’t wait to try it. I’ve been using Bidule for an idm project and I’ve been looking a good one. Hope this is the one!
H.G. Fortune making a drum machine? That can only be good.
I tried to use it, but after downloading and unzipping with 7-Zip, there is no exe file to install the program. I got the manual in Adobe, a dll, and 2 fxb files, 4 total. Am I missing something please? I’m running Windows 8 Pro 64x. Thank you.
The download link is not working for me. Is it dead? This looks very interesting!
The link worked for me! You may want to try again!
sounds decent!
This is a VST Plug In – Not a Stand alone program, you should be able to just copy the files into your VST Plug In folder and open it through your DAW; However it would not work in Ableton Live Nine 32-bit on Windows. I got two messages saying that Can’t Load (Synth Edit) SE Plug In: (Converters.SEM & Patch Memory.SEM ARE BOTH MISSING)!!! In Fact I had to use Task Manager to KILL Ableton because the error was stuck in an infinite loop. So not recommended for Ableton at the moment; maybe if you have other Synth Edit Plug Ins you will be OK???
Thank you Kent, I understand now.
I like the sounds and the plug :-). However when triggering the sounds directly from the daw (Reaper) the notes are triggered by every note on AND by every note off. Can this be changed?
I had the same problem as Diderique, sounds triggering on note off. Just click on the mute (M) buttons for all 8 parts in the lower right and it’s fixed!
Great plugin, very flexible.
