Heartbeat

Drum synthesis is back with a vengeance!

Eight channels of drum sounds, mostly based on modeled analog synthesis

Four channel Auto Layer Machine for layering sounds or triggering beat patterns

Adapted versions of TSAR-1 Reverb and Valley People Dyna-mite included, as well as Filter Echo and output saturation

 

Classic drum synthesis is back with a vengeance! Flexible and tweakable — Heartbeat is your source for familiar, yet unique, drum machine sounds.

Use the built-in effects and the innovative Auto Layer Machine to take your beats to unexpected places. Or use Heartbeat's instrument and EQ modules in Modular.

"As an avid drum machine lover and collector I'm typically skeptical of something that claims to emulate vintage rhythm machines. I must say Heartbeat is stunning, less emulation and more making the vintage modern. I've been using it on all my new score projects. It's killer!"

Brian Transeau a.k.a. BT American music producer, composer, technologist, audio technician, multi-instrumentalist
