NUSofting BDM Drum Synthesizer Released

January 31, 2008

Inspired by a combination of several old school beat boxes and the circuit-bending culture around the "toy" Casio and Yamaha keyboards of the 80s, Broken Drum Machine brings lively, ever changing, circuit-bent drum machine sounds to your DAW.

BDM is a plugin instrument designed for the musicians who love chaos and usually find the unpredictable behaviour of an uncontrollable sound machine stimulating and inspiring.

BDM offers four drum pads in the style of an old beat box- one each for Bass Drum, Snare, Hi-Hat and Stick. Each pad features the usual suspects for shaping the synthesized sound, including tone, decay, pitch, pan and gain. On top of the standard controls comes the broken factor - each pad features its own sliders for chaos and chance. Chaos sets the amount of variations to the original sound, and chance is the probability algorithm for the chaos to occur. By varying and automating the chaos and chance sliders, you can achieve a infinite range of wild and unpredictable sounds, similar to creating glitches and bleeps by manipulating an analog circuit.

Main Features:

Addictive ever changing soundl
Blend of acoustic and electronic sound, PCM + VCO generation
Seven "Chaos" Modulations of various parameters
Controllable random crackles generation.
4 Mono + 1 Stereo out
MIDI Learn for each parameter
Customizable default PCM sound bank and skin using the Modpacks BDM is sold with one extra Modpack, so you can already experiment the change. The extra Modpack is included in downloadable Demo too.

BDM is available for the PC/VST

Until the 15th of February 2008 BDM can be purchased at a special introductory price of $44.90
