TONE
- provides control over all tonal aspects of a percussive sound
- features a morphing oscillator which slides from a sinewave to a pulsewave (with additional width control)
- oscillator can be switched to a preset FM algorithm that emulates analogue metal sounds, used for cymbals, hihats, etc.
- oscillator (both modes) can be modulated by a dedicated pitch envelope (with invert function) + feedback and noise FM
- dedicated amp envelope control + level control
- preset algorithms for emulating the elusive 808 cowbell and 808 deep kickdrum sounds
- a tube resonator filter is also featured which is useful for creating harmonics and new timbres

NOISE
- provides control over all noise aspects of a percussive sound
- features switchable white and pink noise that can be filtered by a bandpass filter (with resonance)
- bit chop effect gives noise oscillators a grainy timbre
- dedicated distortion adds more fuzz to the mix
- dedicated amp envelope control
- additional "click" level control, used to add a sharp attack layer to a sound (unfiltered)

RINGMOD
- switchable ringmod effects tonal aspects only (noise is dry) used for adding metallic timbres and much more
- features a sinewave control oscillator which can feedback
- sine tone can be further modulated by its own dedicated envelope + white and pink noise FM

CLAP ALGORITHM
- switchable preset algorithm processes all drumVOX parameters to create analogue-style multiclap sounds
- clap separation can be controlled

GLOBAL
- volume, distortion, amplitude velocity, mute
- MIDI note trigger assignment parameters (not saved with other preset parameters for convenience)

FEATURES...

- clean, intuitive design and layout
- capable of producing almost any type of electronic percussion sound (includes: kick, snare, clap, tom, rim, conga/bongo, cowbell, hihats/cymbals, etc...)
- ultra-smooth control functionality (no zipping or popping)
- tiny size/ huge sound!
- manages DSP usage when parameters are not in use, for optimum DSP efficiency
- GUI preset text window to help keep track of which surface is making what sound!
- many factory presets, including sounds from classic drummachines and bizarre effects
- the drumVOX module icon includes a "mute in" and a "mute out" connection nub, this can be used to have one drumVOX gate another one when triggered. this is very useful for creating opening and closing hihats, etc. simply connect the "mute out" of one drumVOX module to the "mute in" of any other.

It's thanks to you and Defex that this platform is so great. Thanks for the chance to work with all of this killer gear. The stuff i have purchased in the past was awesome enough. now this? WOW....

Can you use drum wavs as oscillators?

if you mean "are there wave oscillators onboard?"... then no, not at the moment.

The best device I found for drums, this width control is amazing.

DrumVOX is indeed dope but I *loudly* rebump for an uber uber max version of it with many oscillators and plenty of mod ( FM, AM ) between them, galores of ultra sharp and fast AHDSR envelopes, FX etc etc etc etc ...

Well THE definitive all kind of percussions creator !

From classics to aliens ...

If you want even more money from me !

I would pay a *lot* for this Graal !

BTW, how are your latest projects going ? there were two in progress if I remember ...

Thanks for the *urging*! Well, I have been picking away at the FM and Additive projects that I had mentioned before, but these are rather huge projects and I'm not sure, at the moment, that they will see the light of day. I just can't afford to put that kind of time-investment in right now, as the ends haven't been justifying the means, so to speak.

Thanks for the support,

Stephen

Ah well I understand ... sad and not encouraging !
I hope those projects will nevertheless meet completion one day, take your time !

Concerning DRUMVOX, I noticed that kick is different at each shot.

As for me,i'm agree that this device "this Graal ! "
"drum-kit" instrument -it's first,what we need from virtual tech,becouse it's most difficult part for real live recording.
BUT i did't saw no one instrument this kind.
All history from TR-808 e.t.c. show primitive sounds,no testy,just narrow possibilityes.
MORPHING!That,what i think can help in this situation.
I wish to have this graal as intuitive way of synthez,with more radical timbre changes possibilityes.
AND FIRST instrument this kind,should be from
WAVELENGTH!
with the best wishes,maket

I even ready to help with design !

Now Stephen, you just can't say no !

In the meantime I'll try to make some things with Flexor, since we're sensitive in the ms range, those ultra sharp envelopes are necessary to shape each " grain " of sound and thus to get away from too standard " thump "...

yeah, sample-accurate envelopes would be cool. i could probably come up with something, but this again would take some time.

Thanks Stephen for considering developing a device !

I've heard and seen synths and devices here and there including yours but not one that could really make very precise design, a high end pro tool ( so to speak ).

With the CW sound quality could be an absolute must have !!

Take your time !
