Drumaxx emulates real drum membranes & mallets.


I couldn't get the mac version to run in Logic 8. However it did load in other programs.


One suggestion I would have is to have dimensional values on each knobs so the user could write them down then build an approximation of their drum in real life. Like a drum shell designer. Also snare springs on / off, tightness, and size would be an interesting suggestion beyond the mallet noise knob. Searching the internet I couldn't find any software that lets you hear or design acoustic drums.

Perhaps this is similar to the Jomox M.Brane 1_1?

To top it off, the plastic side panels have been replaced with nicely figured pieces of quilted maple.

Acidlab Bassline 2 TB-303 on Ebay

AUCTION LINK



Handmade in germany by a true underground electronic music enthusiast. Its not exactly like a 303, I believe only the real thing can be, but this one has its own unique voice that's just as rewarding.
