Digital Revolution faithfully captures the sound of 9 digital (and 3 analogue) drum machines spanning from 1980 to 1989, including all sample variations and parameters of the original drum machines; tune/pitch, decay and various other settings.

The digital nature of the sound sources meant that we could focus less on ‘in depth’ round-robin multisampling and more on the creation of real-time re-sampling and tone shaping controls, capable of a producing a wide range of variation; from subtle saturation to gritty sonic destruction and everything in between!

Adding Character...

Digital Revolution’s unique character mode allows each drum voice to be played back in one of three ways:

Original Mode - Plays the sample back with the identical sound character of the original drum machine
Hi-Fi Mode - Plays the sample back processed through a unique high end outboard mastering chain
Lo-Fi Mode - Resamples the sound in real-time through an iconic ‘grey’ 12-bit sampler. Each raw drum sound has been recorded and manually re-pitched 16 times!
