Great, but why should you care when the internet is awash with drum samples<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In two words, expressive control.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once a drum sound is recorded, the performance and modulation options are limited to filtering, volume, or similar 1-dimensional effects.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When a single drum sample is triggered in a roll, you get the familiar \u2018machine-gun\u2019 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Modelling algorithms for better sounds
Drumaxx is not based on samples or even commonly used \u2018synthesis\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
techniques, where oscillators are mixed and the result is always \u2018electronic\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Drumaxx uses modelling algorithms to create bass drums, hi-hats, snares, realistic and electronic sounds too. But what about the traditional \u2018Achilles\u2019 heel\u2019 of synthesis, cymbals Drumaxx creates cymbals and metallic percussion also.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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 multi-dimensional performance options, a Matrix of variables providing nearly infinite possibilities.<\/p>\n
