THE ULTIMATE GROOVEBOX PLUG-IN

Booming bass drums, saucy cymbals and crispy snares can be used to describe the sound of drum machines from the early 80's. ADM emulates three classic vintage drum machines from that era rolled into one, combined with a 32-step internal sequencer and pattern controlled effects (PCF). Get all your patterns into ADM via the Import Rebirth function or directly from your 909 via sysex (we will provide a free tool for dumping Sysex).
Picture
ADM contains 25 drum generators, each one carefully modelled after the classics' analog circuits and 4 PCM players, for a total of 34 sounds (some generators have two sounds). Certain sounds have been extended with extra parameters, like the tuning and attack of the 606 bass drum. The accents effect on bridged-T oscillators that make up the bass drum and tom-tom sounds has been closely simulated and the hihats and cymbals sound and react very close to the originals

PATTERN CONTROLLED FILTER (PCF)

The PCF can be used to automate any of the drum machines parameters, for instance it's possible to change the cutoff and Q parameters for each step. In fact it can control any of the drum machines parameters, for example you can set the amount of snappy on each step  or switch from maracas to handclap on specific steps, giving the illusion of more polyphony (something that had to be done by hand on the original machine). The PCF can also control the amount of mangle (a type of distortion) on specific steps, and if the FX should be applied to a sound or not.
