Description

VADrumSM is a standalone mobile drum machine featuring a virtual analog drum synthesizer and a step sequencer. The virtual analog drum synthesizer supports AUv3 Audio Unit Extensions, which allows users to use the drum synthesizer inside of AUv3 hosts, such as Apple’s GarageBand®. The sequencer supports Ableton Link. You can synchronize the sequencer to Link-enabled apps and devices.

Drum Synthesizer
The drum synthesizer is inspired by the iconic analog drum machines of the 1980’s and features 21 drum voices. Sounds of the each drum voices are synthesized in real time by using component level modeling.

Pads
Pads function as XY controllers, XY controllers with trigger, or drum pads. When using pads as XY controllers, destination can be selected from tone/decay, level or pitch.

Step Sequencer
The step sequencer is designed to be intuitive and easy to program drum sequences. It is a 16 step sequencer and it has 3 accent level for the each step. Double hit mode allows to program two 32nd notes instead of the one 16th note. There are 4 patterns and can be chained to create 4 bar loop. There are 6 variations of swing, which can be applied in real time.

Parameter Automation
All XY parameters (tone, level and pitch) and voice switches can be automated, that gives a whole new sonic possibility.

MIxer
17 output buses, including a mix output and 16 instrument outputs of Drum Synthesizer can be routed to main output and 4 aux mixers. AUv3 effects can be inserted to each channels. Sum of the 4 aux mixers outputs can be routed to Audiobus’s second output port.

So quick, so easy, so much fun!

I don’t know what else to say... this drum machine is really well thought out and so easy to use. Within seconds of opening VAdrumSM on its own, I was mangling sequences and sounds with no need for instruction. It just worked.

Only one thing I want to see added... variable length patterns per track.

Developer Response ,

I appreciate your comment. it helps me to improve VADrumSM for the future release.

Awesome

This drum machine might be older than dirt but I think it’s one of the best out there!!!
