Flipping polarity of one audio track and playing only the two audio tracks yields silence if sounds are identical, which they are right after copying the first audio track to the second. I tested in both REAPER and Studio One using the same MIDI note/velocity repeated three to four dozen times, recorded the result to a separate audio track, copied that track to a second audio track. In addition IKM claim the drums have “infinite round robin” variation, although I found drums seemed to have limited variations before they repeat as do the cymbals (cymbals expected since they are sampled). I didn’t try to calculate how many kick, tom or snares could actually be modeled, but it’s more than I’ll ever need! The drums are physically modeled, a form of synthesis that provides real-time access to just about every parameter - their size (diameter and depth of the shell), shell edge profile, batter head type, damping and tuning for both batter head and resonating head, sound levels of both heads, room and overhead mic contributions, and sympathetic vibrations between kick, snare and toms.
But the drums provide a whole new level of control. At any rate there is plenty of variation available for the cymbals. For more tonal variation there are 19 audio processors available to modify any cymbal or drum sound. There is also velocity sensitivity and the ride cymbal can play rim or bell. The cymbals are sample-based as I mentioned and have fewer editable parameters than the drums, but there is still tuning and damping adjustment, separate room and overhead mic levels, as well as a round robin system (with from three to ten variations depending on the instrument as far as I can tell). There are 28 cymbals for example - but this does not mean there are only 28 cymbal sounds of course. And it is 1/10th the size of the others since it uses physical modeling for most of the drums.Įach kit has multiple choices for drums and cymbals, and you can combine any drum or cymbal from any kit to create your own custom kits.

Do they sound good? Definitely! I have four other software drum machines and MODO DRUM (MD from now on) is up there, or beyond the others for pure sound quality, and way beyond for flexibility. The 10 drum kits included are Black Oyster, Djentleman, Jazzy, Extreme, Reference, Bubinga, Grungy, Plexi, Studio, and Rock Custom, and cover eras from Jazz of the 40’s and 50’s to heavy metal rock of the 90’s.

Note that you can also install a standalone module for playing live. Very easy install overall, though a choice of location for 6 GB of files would be appreciated. I tried simply moving the binaries to my sample drive and to my astonishment it worked fine! I was surprised that MODO DRUM had no trouble locating them. Turns out it uses binaries it extracts from the zipped folder, so they ended up on my system drive. It asked the usual questions about locations for VST, VST3 and AAX versions (note, all are 64 bit), but did not ask or provide any obvious way to specify where the sound files should be placed.

from size and tension, to shell profile and playing style, and more.” I’d say that sums it up well, but I’ll describe some details of what I found.Īfter the usual install process using the IKM Authorization manager I had just over 6 GB of zipped files loaded which I extracted into a container and proceeded to run its executable (I’m using Windows as described below). As IKM say, “Using a powerful combination of modal synthesis and advanced sampling, MODO DRUM offers 10 deeply customizable, virtual drum kits with real-time access to every parameter of each drum. Actually, it does have some samples involved, over 6 GB of them for the cymbals and percussion like hand clap, tambourine and cowbell, and possibly the basis for some drum sounds, but it provides an extremely configurable set of drum kits. They’re at it again with another new venture for IK Multimedia following their MODO BASS physically modeled bass - this time a physically modeled drum kit.
