Not the usual 808, 909 boredom, but something different. There aren`t enough percussion plugs around really, and I`m bored of samples, I prefer the control of sound you get with percussion generators.
Are there any good ones out there?

nads -not another drum synth



The NADS is a very flexible Drumsynthesizer which can really take electronic drums to new heights.
It features 6(six!) individual outputs, where you can freely route from anything to anything.

For example: You can route Drum Slot 1 to Mix Out 3 which then goes to "physical Output 1".

Each Stereo-Output also consists of a Brickwall-Limiter with adjustable "Wall" and a LoFi-Option.

The Synth itself has 7 slots which can player all over the keyboard, 30+ drumkits, four types of filters, stereo noise generator, velocity controllable parameters, built-in distortion for each slot and much more.

Finally , it is fully automatable and can even remote-controlled by MIDI!

The NADS comes in two Versions. One Multi-Out version with 30+ Kits and a extra Single-Out Version with one Drumslot and more than 100 single drumsounds (all fully synthesized).
