If you use Reaktor 5 as one of your virtual instruments and you are looking for some cool sounds, you might like the MaXineDrum.
This synth-drum comes from the need of being able to tweak any parameter for each step in a sequencer.
The idea came few months ago when I was looking for a virtual drum machine. I couldn't find anything that could do the job, so I decided to build my own drum machine, and ended up with the MaXineDrum.
This 'knobby' instrument uses a bit of CPU according to how many Things are happening at once. I suggest you to use it with a low sampling rate (even for the type of sound that comes out of it). You can always use few steps and you'll Get a good variety of sounds as well.
Some of the features:
- 4x16 step sequencer
- 4 different wave forms to choose from for each step
- lfo+filter bank and micro space for each pattern
- randomize button
- phaser and parametric eq for the main output.
