DrumDragon

USER INTERFACE - What is it about people that need flashy bells and whistles and a colorful veiw to make a vsti useable...who cares about how it sounds if it has a crap interface its nothing ****insert eyerolling here****. well Maybe this synth has a bland look but thats not what matters.

SOUND - this synth is a percussion maker and what it does it does good, but judging by an earlier reveiw the guy must have had no idea what he was doing, the synth gives you a variety of wavforms from tri to noise. use the noise wavforms for hats and electronic percussion sounds. the square and saw can even make some nice bass sounds. I have heard people say the bassdrum has no character but I don't think they have tried the clip slider, bring it down and the bd will really punch...in fact bring clip down alot and you have instant hardcore or if your like me and liking the hardstyle bass sounds, attack out the thump of the drum and leave the tail and you have a hardstyle bass which is able to follow your melody which is an advantage to just using a hardcore bassdrum sample stuck on one note.

FEATURES - multiple wavforms for making many sounds, a very good filter with high resonance capabilities and has high and bandpass besides the standard lowpass. it has a very useful adsr that has a very snappy decay for percussion sounds, the clip slider is my secret weapon, and many options in the oscillator section to change the sounds espeically fm.

DOCUMENTATION - well this was tricky as its in japanese, but I translated it with altavista (do the same) but the synth is pretty self explanitory.

PRESETS - the developer included a nice little bank to build upon but it doesn't show the big possibilities of this synth imo, though the slash preset was very usable on this end.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT - this is a hard one seeing as i have never needed support so....

VALUE FOR MONEY - Its free and its good go get it (if your a person who cares only about a gui...well don't get it)

STABILITY - No crashes ever and my system begs for it so big thumbs up for that.

all in all its proved worthy for new percussion sounds.Read Review
