PLANKTON DRUMMER

PLANKTON DRUMMER - a harmonic drum machine.

A playful and intuitive drum device for building expected and original rhythmic and harmonic ideas. Quickly combine the kick of a Roland 909 with a flabby Ludwig snare, percussion from the OPTIGAN and modular high hats. Quickly load a Reggaeton kick pattern and play it against the snare pattern of '50 ways to leave your lover' with trap hi-hats. Quantize the pitch to A# Bebop minor - THIS IS ALL POSSIBLE.

PLANKTON DRUMMER is loaded with over 3000 beautifully recorded multi-samples of acoustic drums and classic drum machines:

• 72 tuned drum instruments - acoustic & electronic classics.
• A complex multi sequencer per note.
• Unique FX sequence lanes per note.
• Scale and key quantizer with unique quantized pitch wheel.
• Hard to explain - a JOY to use.
