New Features
Force now comes with nine incredible DrumSynth plugin instruments.
The team at AIR Music Technology have painstakingly crafted a range of groundbreaking drum
synthesizers that combine multiple synthesis types and advanced modelling to create
breathtaking results. The AIR drum synths are highly effective at emulating the sound of classic
drum machines from yesteryear, however you can go considerably further by combining new
drum model types with the carefully crafted inbuilt FX plugins to create powerful contemporary
drum sounds.
To add a DrumSynth, create a Plugin Instrument track and from the Matrix mode double tap on
the track header to bring up the Track Settings popup, from the popup double tap the Plugin field
to open the Plugin Selector. You will see a new category, Force Drum Plugins containing 9 newplugin instruments. Eight of the drum synth instruments are dedicated to meticulously modelling
an individual type of drum (Kick, Snare, Clap, HiHat, Crash, Ride, Tom and Percussion).
Each DrumSynth has a comprehensive synthesis and FX section:•••

From the synth section change the Model parameter to set the synths configuration, thenuse the carefully chosen macro parameters to tweak the drum sound.
The FX section has been designed for drum processing, use the transient shaper,
distortion, four band EQ and compressor to add depth and punch to a drum sound.
Each DrumSynth instrument comes with a range of accompanying presets carefullyorganized by category to make it easy to find the type of drum sound you desire.

The DrumSynth:Multi plugin is all eight separate drum synths combined into a single drummachine instrument:•Create faithful sonic reproductions of classic old drum machines or use its extensive
parameter set to create the drum machine of your dreams.

•In addition to eight drum synth modules there is also a dedicated mixer section withseparate Delay, Diffuser and Reverb send effects.
DrumSynth:Multi comes with 52 preset kits carefully organized by category to make iteasy to browse.

DrumSynth:Multi has dedicated pad layouts for note input and step sequencing. PushNOTES to go to the first Notes Mode, here the pads illuminate the eight pads that playthe eight drum synths.
Pushing the NOTES button again takes you to the Notes + 16 Level layout, here thebottom left quadrant plays notes and the second quadrant plays 16 velocity levels for thecurrent drum synth (illuminated white).
The Step Sequencer pad mode uses the bottom left quadrant for notes, the bottom rightquadrant for 16 level velocity and the top two quadrants to input steps.
