Drum Synthesizer (VST/AU/AAX)
Click the ‘Gear’ icons next to any synth voice or FX section to unlock deep calibration and circuit-bending options.
Or hit the onboard ‘Dice’ icons to let Tekno’s smart random-algorithm generate all-new drums with every click.
You can also start from the 73 global presets and 1314 individual voice presets by leading sound designers such as Richard Devine, Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo.
Tekno is a synthesizer, it generates every drum hit from scratch through a complex non-linear VA circuit. That means it never hits exactly the same way twice – a quality it shares with the classic analog drum machines (and a big part of their magic). Compare this to samples, which are just static snapshots and you’ll find that Tekno’s subtleties make tracks come more alive.
Tekno allows you to exaggerate this behavior further: Use the on-board humanize parameters to introduce extra variation in timbre, velocity and timing every time a sound is triggered.
Tekno’s onboard effects have been crafted with the same care and meticulous analog-modeling efforts as the drum voices.
There are no ‘copy-paste FX’ in Tekno, but a unique suite of coloration tools created especially for this instrument.
Beef-up individual drums with analog-modeled tape saturation, excitation and compression. And make the whole kit shine with a punchy limiter/clipper combo that will cut through any mix.
To build Tekno we teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling. Our goal was to create a modern spiritual successor to the legendary drum machines of the 20th century. Not an emulation, but more.
Tekno stands on the shoulders of classic drum machines but hits deeper and harder. It utilizes a combination of circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put in a plugin.
Stop browsing for the perfect sample and create your own infectious electronic drum sounds instead – with total control.
Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, clap, hats, percussion and more. Craft unique drum kits full of punch and analog flavor to suit any musical genre.
Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly. Or simply drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing.
Tekno v1.1 includes a brand-new creative sequencer built around two core ideas.
1. Fast beat generation: Use smart randomization, auto-fill and quick on/off and velocity controls to create new beat ideas in an instant.
2. Optional unpredictability: Create evolving polyrhythms with variable step lengths and lane speeds. Assign chance values to introduce randomness.
Drag and drop any sequence into your DAW as a MIDI file for further editing.
Tekno v1.1 is a free update for all existing owners.
