drumDING is a drum machine with a workflow all its own.
Instead of separate channels for kick, snare, hi-hat, and the rest, you get a single analog voice that can produce any electronic drum or percussion sound you can imagine. Press a button, and your analog sound becomes a sample — ready to be shaped further and layered with effects on the digital side. From there, drumDING’s sequencer makes it easy to turn those sounds into driving, distinctive beats. Then the cycle begins again: a new sound, a new sample, a new idea.
You’ll find your way into the drumDING workflow faster than you’d expect — and before long, you’re working with it as naturally as if you’d always worked this way. drumDING is an instrument, and it’s you, the player, who shapes its tone and emotion.
Analog Voice
- 1x VCO with continuously variable blend from sine to square wave; frequency knob and range switch; BEND envelope; VCA with decay envelope
- Noise generator: pink and blue noise; own VCA with decay envelope
- Impulse generator (CLICK): adjustable between a single impulse and two different impulse sequences
- Filter: multi-mode filter (12 dB/octave) with continuously variable blend between low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass; BEND envelope; VCA with decay envelope
- Modulation: modulation generator with triangle waveform, for modulating VCO or VCF frequency
- AUX IN: control on the analog voice; routes either an external audio signal (audio input) or an internal track/sample
