Drum MachineAnalog

Imagine dialing in punchy analog drum sounds straight out of the 70s and 80s, all from a super compact box that's small enough to fit in your modular rig or live setup without taking over.

This six-channel analog drum synth delivers pure synthesis—no samples—with dedicated voices for bass drum, snare, clap, two hi-hats (closed and open), cymbals, and metal percussion. Each channel offers tailored controls like level, decay, pitch, and click for the kick, swapping click for a filter on the clap, letting you tweak sounds on the fly with 23 knobs and 7 buttons total. The master section handles overall volume, while the back panel provides MIDI in, trigger inputs for external sequencing, six individual outs plus a mix output, and a headphone jack. Available in fun colors like grey, green, black, blue, white, or pink, it's built tough in a portable format perfect for hands-on beatmaking.

Users love the killer kick, hats, and clap tones that cut through mixes, especially when triggered via modular systems, and praise its wide parameter control for authentic vintage vibes in a modern package.
