The built-in soundset is limited to just the TR-606, but you can also load up each slot with your own samples. They also give you about 30 samples for each drum to make it easier to put together your own kit. It will also do multiple outs for when you want to pan or process each drum sound on its own. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a user of the full version of ADM and I use it as much as a drum sampler as for its internal sounds. The only annoyance is that the current(ancient) version is limited to 16 bit mono samples. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starship Krupa 4,375 Posted June 15, 2022 Noise Engineering have released a 3-plug-in freeware bundle. I just saw Cameron/Venus Theory raving about them and demoing them, and yes, they are alll that. If you like the sounds that result from using Glitchmachines/Freakshow/Unfiltered products, get over there. BIG sounding drones and things ranging from ethereal to soundslaughter. I already got the effect to make Monastery Grand sound like a lo fi cello. The UI's are a visual treat, waveforms and animations that glow with the sound (and you can select how much of that eye candy you want). Two synths and an effect: https://noiseengineering.us/products/the-freequel-bundle-sinc-vereor-virt-vereor-ruina abacab, Brian, go. go. go. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abacab 8,029 Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Free synth Odin 2 has been updated to v2.3.3 by the Wave Warden. https://www.thewavewarden.com/odin2 Quote Hey folks, I just uploaded version 2.3.3 to my homepage Highlights this time are - support for the new CLAP plugin type - native support for Apple M1 - much improved UI visuals when using OS display scaling - some bug fixes which had been piling up - switched build system to CMake A big shout out goes to Baconpaul from team Surge / CLAP. All the name worthy features were implemented by him! The switch to CMake is a rather big change and I didn't have a lot of time to extensively test things, but today was the deadline. So if you find any issues please let me know. Full changelog: - added CLAP plugin support - added native M1 Mac support - much improved UI appearance when using OS display scaling - switched build system to CMake - made WinInstaller suitable for systems not mounted on 😄 - fixed symbol name clashes for "Knob" and "Filter" - fixed issue where renaming a soundbank would select the bank above *Screen grab from v2.3.1: Edited June 15, 2022 by abacab 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abacab 8,029 Posted June 15, 2022 Here's a handy chart of the Odin2 signal routing from the manual. This synth only takes like 15 minutes to come to terms with, totally intuitive, and great sounding! Very well done semi-modular synth. Up to 3 oscillators (of any type available) that can be selectively routed to up to 2 filters (of any type available), followed by a an optional 3rd filter that can be inserted after the amplifier stage. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
