Drumaxx Public Beta4

We will release it as “pay what you think it’s worth” with a €9 minimum of which we give €1 to a charity in Haiti.

Drumaxx emulates real drum membranes & mallets.

I couldn’t get the mac version to run in Logic 8. However it did load in other programs.

One suggestion I would have is to have dimensional values on each knobs so the user could write them down then build an approximation of their drum in real life. Like a drum shell designer. Also snare springs on / off, tightness, and size would be an interesting suggestion beyond the mallet noise knob. Searching the internet I couldn’t find any software that lets you hear or design acoustic drums.

Perhaps this is similar to the Jomox M.Brane 1_1?

AUCTION LINK

Handmade in germany by a true underground electronic music enthusiast. Its not exactly like a 303, I believe only the real thing can be, but this one has its own unique voice that’s just as rewarding.

Roland VP-7 Vocal processor This must be easier than carrying/purchasing the keyboard versions!

Octapad SPD-30 Percussion pad Comes with 50 onboard kits and V-drum technology. Better than a regular controller, this looks interesting if it turns out to be a good price.

Roland VR-700 - Crazy performance / stage 76 keyboard with its own drawbars, synth sounds, piano, etc…full size “waterfall” keys.

Arturia The Player, The Factory, The Laboratory (via Gear Junkies) The coming-soon midi controllers. I like the color!
