In this video, German producer Tobi Neumann shares his approach to making analog kick bass drum sounds with a simple set of Eurorack modular synthesizer gear. Neumann uses five different modules in creating his analog kick drum sounds:
Electro-Harmonix has introduced two new analog drum synth pedals, the Crash Pad and Super Space Drum, based on a vintage set of analog drum synthesizers:
AudioThing has introduced Hand Clapper – a drum synthesizer dedicated to claps sounds. The internal design is inspired by the Boss HC-2. There are three internal noise sources that are used to recreate the classic sound of vintage analog drum machines. It’s also possible to load external samples and sculpt them with the same circuit emulation.
This video, via Voltage Control Lab, takes a look synthesizer kick drums using FM synthesis on the Roland Scooper. While the Scooper is, by default, a looper and effects processor, it can be repatched, using the Aira Modular Customizer, to customize its functionality.
Electro-Harmonix has released the Crash Pad drum synth – an updated version of the 80’s analog original. Like the original from 1980, the Crash Pad can create an array of drum sounds, as well as process external sounds thru its resonant filter. The new version has been updated to respond to expression pedal/CV input for external control… Read More Electro-Harmonix Intros Crash Pad Drum Synth

Ninstrument has introduced a new Eurorack drum synth module, the SP-12/Drumulator. The SP-12/Drumulatori is a 10 HP Euro module, based on the DSP Synthesizers DSP-D8 drum chip. Here’s what Ninstrument’s Chris Blarsky has to say about the new module: “Seeing this made me long for the older 80’s drum machines and I knew it would also be nice… Read More Ninstruments SP-12/Drumulator Drum Module (Sneak Preview)
This video, via Voltage Control Lab, takes a look at building and triggering drum sounds inside the Roland Aira Modular FX Scooper module, using the Aira Customizer App.
Developer Jan Ostman of DSP Synthesizers let us know that the dsp-D8 Drum Chip – a chip for DIY drum machine projects – is now shipping. The dsp-D8 Drum Chip features a drum kit with 8 sounds and separate trigger inputs. 6 of the sounds can be separately tuned, using 6 analog inputs 0-5v. “This is the Drumulator or SP-12 in a single… Read More DSP Synthesizers dsp-D8 PCM Drum Chip Now Shipping
GuDa Audio has introduced KickR – a kick drum synthesizer for OS X. Features: Designed ground up to create nothing but kicks. Three sections of Body, Thump and Noise for quick but still detailed control Warm EQ is an old school style EQ that adds very mild saturation when pushing the levers up. ‘Great for sculpting and giving… Read More New Kick Drum Synth, KickR, For OS X
