DrumSynth GUI

Demos:

Description:

Another of the LV2 plugins available for linux in the Distrho-lv2 package by KXStudio is DrumSynth, a realtime 32/64-bit virtual drum synthesizer available for download (see link at bottom) or ready for direct installation when the KXStudio repositories are installed, or included if using an audio-production-suite type of distro.

The installation package of DrumSynth includes an octave range of percussive sounds, ready for use either through the virtual keyboard on the GUI or with an external midi controller. But all presets can be modified and saved (either separately or as a bank of sounds) directly, on the righthand side of the GUI. (As this is an LV2 instrument, they can also of course be saved as .lv2 files if using a host such as Jalv.Select.)

DrumSynth provides a host of sonic options for creating sounds. In addition to noise and noise bandwidth control are knobs for controlling the strength and frequency of overtones, and a filter with optional highpass filtering as well. There is also a five-stage envelope section for controlling movement overtime of the filter, the noise and related bandwidths, and overtones.

Patches:

DrumSynth Bank -A rolling collection of (currently just a few initial) sounds, added to the default presets provided in the installation tarball. Right-click to download and save where desired. --Updated August 02, 2018.
