No shortcuts.
Drums is an analog and digital drum machine built without compromise. Every part of it is designed to feel immediate, sound exceptional, and give you more ways to create, with less to think about.
Radical by design.
Drums is built around a single-piece aluminum body, with custom metal knobs and high-end components throughout. Every material choice, component, and surface is chosen for precision, consistency, and the kind of feel you notice the moment you touch it.
Advanced sequencer.
Years of experience led us to our most advanced and intuitive sequencing system yet. 8 tracks with deep per-track control, probability, micro-timing, pattern chaining and generative tools move you beyond simple stepped playback into expressive composition.
From sound to performance.
Watch how sound, sequencing, and performance control come together in one take.
Beyond the box.
Drums is designed to connect with the devices around it. Individual audio outputs allow further processing, MIDI keeps everything in time, and the audio input lets you shape external sounds with its effects processor.
Features
- Analog voices: Four analog voices built on modern SSI chips create a dense, classic tone with modern flexibility. Each stacks dual analog VCOs, a dedicated noise source, and additional digital oscillator for hybrid layering or precise FM modulation. Each shaped through a multimode analog filter and VCA, giving you everything from tight percussion to evolving synth textures.
- Instruments: Multiple analog and digital synthesis methods, sample-based instruments, and eight independent LFOs give you the core tools for creating and modulating drum sounds. With over forty instruments, each containing its own sub-mode mutations, you get hundreds of options to choose from.
- Live performance: Drums is designed for real-time control. Use the X0Y fader to morph kits, trigger fills instantly, and switch between patterns or sound kits without stopping playback. Key parameters stay close, so changes can be made while the pattern is running.
- Effects: Drums includes three dedicated effects groups. Send effects for shared processing. Insert effects for individual tracks. A master chain for the final mix. Inserts can be sequenced per track, so effects become part of the rhythm rather than something added at the end.
- Power: The device runs on a dual-core main CPU, with auxiliary processors handling peripherals and analog control. Internal audio processing is done in 32-bit floating point at 96kHz, with 24-bit/96 kHz DAC and ADC conversion for audio input and output.
