Don’t need this but WANT

All the fx processing is rather appealing (with presets) for immediacy.

EDIT: discount now not working

I just picked this up today for £50 on a cross grade offer, and it’s got tons of deep functionality. I’m really liking the sound of it and although I haven’t used the original Drumazon in many years, it seems leagues ahead in terms of what’s on offer.

I’m extensively using this on a new project and must say that it is really good. I gritted my teeth paying for the upgrade, but I’m actually happy I did. This plugin paired with decapitator and softube transient shaper goes a really long way.

D16 Plugins are 50% off at the moment, do you guys think it is worth the 60 bucks?

If you already don’t have the Roland cloud 909 I would get it. D16 puts a lot of love and care into their plugins. I’m getting this and the 808 emulation as well. Sometimes I don’t have desk space and I just need the plugin to write. 808 and 909 plugins have come along way in the past 4 years.

I would recommend it, I think it sounds really good.
There is a fully functional demo you can try to see if you like the interface.

I have Drumazon 2 set up in multi-output mode in a default Logic Pro template. It sounds great and is easy to use. I also have TR8S hardware which is great to play around with… but a faff to record in a DAW.

i also have one and struggle to find a good way to integrate it to my daw workflow.
i wish it had overbridge :smiley:

have you ever tried using the tr8s as a midi controller for drumazon? @almack77

No, I haven’t tried that. I have managed to set it up as an aggregate device alongside my existing soundcard. I can send midi to it and get audio back, but frequently the audio is garbled. I need to try again. But it’s just the time needed to sort it out. Time that could be used for music… using Drumazon!

Man D16 has been banging out really nice plug-ins for a bit now, but their recent instrument output has shown a lot of growth and refinement in their programming and design. Their 303 for example is one of the best, if not the best emulations out there, and I’m sure their 909 is going to be amazing as well.

tried it last night and after 30 mins i prepared my tr-8s for sale :stuck_out_tongue:
it sounds really good, the interface is well layed out and fun to play with. the audio routing possibilities are especially nice!

for hardware 909 sounds i am back to rytm + samples :innocent:

Sample some loops from Drumazon into the Rytm to get even more distorted and analog feel from the plug in. Or just jam some loops on the Rytm :v:t4:

I finally sat down with drumazon and nepheton. Here’s my take with both machines.

  1. Both sound good compared to my RD-9 and Yocto 808.

  2. Both machines can match against the Roland cloud equivalents, but not ping the network. This is a plus if you are on holiday in a remote place but still want to compose. The D16 interface is better for drum programming and sound design as well.

  3. The effects on these machines are ready to make your stems mix ready. If you think about it you could write a song idea and blend your individual tracks better with all the routing options.

  4. Like others on this thread I just bounce out my stems as samples in my drum racks in ableton. Because of the effects my new samples sound really good.
