zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Discover life-like drum machine sounds in FL Studio! Create 3D kicks, crispy snares, and shimmering cymbals thanks to Drumaxx's modeling algorithms.
Overview
The Drumaxx percussion modeling instrument gives you total control over 16 physically modeled drum pads that can be routed to independent outputs for external effects processing. Drumaxx is not based on samples or even commonly used 'synthesis' techniques, where oscillators are mixed and the result is always 'electronic'. Drumaxx uses modelling algorithms to create bass drums, hi-hats, snares, realistic and electronic sounds too. But what about the traditional 'Achilles' heel' of synthesis, cymbals? Drumaxx creates cymbals and metallic percussion also.
Hear what Drumaxx can do in this sound demo from Image-Line:
When a single drum sample is triggered in a roll, you get the familiar 'machine-gun' effect and it just sounds mechanical. Multi-sampled, multi-layered drums can overcome this limitation but need multi-megabyte or even Gigabyte! drum libraries. Even then, you are still limited to the sounds originally recorded.
- 16 Physically modelled drum pads
- Multi-output for individual effects processing on each pad
- Huge range of modelling possibilities covering sounds from cymbals to kettle-drums
- Velocity modulation matrix for detailed expressiveness
- Integrated Stepsequencer with trigger-key playback
- Integrated effects
- Single-pad version 'Drumpad' available for tight integration with FL Studio
- 130 drumkits
- 900 drum patches
- 200 drum patterns read less

Good physics stuff included
At the core of Drumaxx is a model where the vibrating membrane is represented as a mesh of interconnected points. Each point is given physical properties including mass, inertia, stiffness, damping, and all that good physics stuff. For the musician, this means Drumaxx gives you control over multiple parameters such as material, thickness, tension and shape. More importantly, the parameters can be modulated in real-time as a function of velocity or external controls. The drum body is also under user control too, including body material, size, vibration damping, and shape. All this gives you multidimensional performance options, a Matrix of variables providing nearly infinite possibilities.Great, but why should you care when the internet is awash with drum samples?
In two words, expressive control. Once a drum sound is recorded,… read more the performance and modulation options are limited to filtering, volume, or similar 1-dimensional effects.When a single drum sample is triggered in a roll, you get the familiar 'machine-gun' effect and it just sounds mechanical.
