Default Drum machine/Drum Sampler AUs?

The more I'm moving out of working with Live and working with Numerology the more I want a decent drum synth/sampler audio unit... anybody know of some affordable/free ones out there?

iDrum from http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/idrum/ is one of my
favorites. It has its own step sequencer and third-party drum banks
include lots of good sequencing pattern banks as well. But it is also
good as a simple drum sample player.

I also use RMX from Spectrasonics. iDrum and RMX are very different
though. For sequencing from Numerology iDrum wins my vote while RMX is
what I use when I need to play back drum loop files with the RMX
random based variation engine "Chaos".

I'm looking for something that gives a little more control over the synthesis of the sounds than idrum, parameters that I may automate with numerology

When i'm working with samples, i simply use the Drum Kit module of Numerology, it suits my needs.

For Drum synths i've µTonic, really fat sound, i found it easy to use, and really low on CPU.

http://www.soniccharge.com/mtonic
89$ (+ VAT)

I hesitated a long time between µTonic and DKS.
DKS is really beautifull, but not friendly with my G4.

Demo with noise bursts.

Hello,

did you ever think about the Waldorf Edition with the Attack?
The bundle contains the Attack, the PPG Wave and the D-Pole filter.

Here the infos from the Waldorf page - http://www.waldorfmusic.de/en/products/attack

Waldorf Attack Percussion Synthesizer
The Attack is a percussion synthesizer with a powerful virtual-analog synth engine. It seamlessly integrates the sound of the 80's analog classics and the ambitious electronic club drums of the 90's into the virtual instrument hosts of the 21st century. The Attack generates all its sounds in real time, giving you the freedom to alter all parameters directly. The Attack has 24 sounds available per percussion set, spread over two octaves. The sound architecture is extremely flexible, as one would expect from a Waldorf synthesizer. Two oscillators, each with nine waveforms, represent the sources. In addition to well-known analog waveforms, the Attack offers three samples to help create hi-hats or crash cymbals. Ring modulation and frequency modulation expand the sound spectrum with metallic components. The integrated "Crack" module takes care of reproducing analog handclaps authentically. The Attack contains a filter section with 6 filter types, resonance up to self-oscillation, and an overdrive of up to +52dB. The two envelopes are used to alter oscillator pitches, FM amount, filter cutoff, and output volume. Two modulation delays and 6 stereo outputs connect the Attack to the digital world. Seamless integration into virtual instrument hosts means that all parameters may be addressed via MIDI controllers, allowing you to create powerful dynamic changes. And as though this were not enough - twelve sounds in each drum set can be played melodically. With this feature you can create tom fills and conga or other percussive grooves in no time, and you can even play bass, melody or sequencer lines. Create whole tracks with just one Attack!

just an idea
jue

PS: Its 49 Euros here in europe

Waldorf Edition LE is available on the cover disc of this month's Beat magazine (from Germany). It includes a slightly cut down version of attack (less polyphony and only stereo outs I think), a cut down version of PPG Wave (8 notes polyphony) and the full version of D-Pole.

I've just ordered it for about €8, including delivery to the UK.

AudioRealism Drum Machine is also really good for €95. It models the 909, 808 and 606, and you can also load your own samples. I use this with Numerology, and automation seems to work fine.

For a free sample player try UVI Workstation. This is primarily designed as a means of playing back UVI's own content, but you can actually load and manipulate your own samples - it has loads of features and effects too.

Default Prowling on the look out for drums

I think I'll go this route as well, I find the sounds in µTonic extremely rich and detailed, combining that with some ethnic /world percusion samples and orchestral percussion samples would be a dream set-up

Best Regards

Wade

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd mention Drumaxx from Image-Line.
