This hybrid drum synthesizer captures the gritty lo-fi character of vintage record beats without relying on sampling. By combining spectral and physically modeled drum sounds, it produces authentic textures that evoke the warmth and saturation of classic drum machines. The signal chain includes simulated studio reverb, vinyl or tape player emulation, and a digital sampler, delivering a rich and fat drum sound with the creative flexibility of synthesis.

Equipped with a preset browser featuring tags and editing options, the instrument offers 20 factory preset kits to get started quickly. Users can choose between multi-output or stereo configurations, and apply vinyl or tape noise and saturation effects to enhance the vintage feel. Real-time playback speed control of the synthesized media adds dynamic expression, while the included studio reverb further shapes the drum sound with natural ambience.

All parameters are fully automatable, allowing seamless integration into complex production workflows. The software includes nondestructive modulation capabilities for enhanced sound design possibilities. It respects user privacy with no telemetry or analytics, and it is free from digital rights management restrictions. As an open source project, it invites users to inspect, learn, and customize the engine to suit their creative needs.
