Midinaut Drum Station: Your Passport to the World of Classic and Custom Rhythms
Looking for a versatile tool to create drum parts that combines the legendary sound of classic drum machines with the flexibility of modern technology? Midinaut Drum Station is the very plugin that will open up limitless possibilities for you in creating captivating and dynamic rhythmic structures.
Developed by Midinaut, this powerful VST instrument is a 16-step sequencer-sampler, optimized for quick and intuitive work with drum sounds. It will become an indispensable tool for both experienced producers and novice musicians who want to give their tracks a professional groove.
Key Features for Groove Creation
Midinaut Drum Station is equipped with a set of features specifically designed for the effective creation and refinement of drum parts:
Step Sequencer
The heart of the plugin is its 16-step sequencer. Each of the available instruments has its own sequencer, allowing you to program rhythmic patterns with unparalleled precision. This provides full control over the timing and sequence of each drum sound, opening up a wide range of possibilities for experimenting with different rhythmic patterns.
Classic Drum Kits and Custom Sample Support
Get instant access to legendary sounds! Midinaut Drum Station includes 4 high-quality built-in drum kits that reproduce the sound of classic drum machines: TR-808, TR-909, TR-707, and CR-78. These sounds have shaped the history of electronic music and are still relevant today. But the flexibility is not limited to the built-in samples. You can easily load your own WAV files, integrating your unique sounds and expanding the sound palette to infinity.
Visual Control
For convenient monitoring of the level of each instrument, peak meters are provided, allowing you to accurately control the dynamics and balance of your drum pattern.
Extensive Sound Modeling and Effects Capabilities
Midinaut Drum Station is not just a sampler with a sequencer. The plugin offers a powerful set of built-in effects and modulation capabilities for in-depth sound shaping and processing:
Spatial and Temporal Effects
- Synchronized stereo delay: Add depth and volume to your rhythms with a separate delay for each track and an overall master delay synchronized with the tempo of your project.
- Master reverb: Create a sense of space and atmosphere using the built-in master reverb.
Filtering and Dynamics
- Master filter: Shape the tonality of your drum mix with a serial low/high pass filter (serial LP/HP) that has its own tempo-synchronized LFO for creating moving textures.
- “Cleaner” function: Allows you to remove certain instruments from the action of the overall master effects (delay and filter), while retaining the ability to use track delay (which, however, still passes through the master filter). This gives additional control over signal routing.
Modulation Capabilities
- Modulators: Give life to your drum sounds by modulating their filter, pitch, and pan.
- 16-step modulation sequencer: Program the changes of the filter, panning, and pitch with the same precision as the notes themselves, using a separate 16-step sequencer for these parameters.
- Synchronized master flanger: Add interesting textures and movement to your overall drum mix with a master flanger that synchronizes with the tempo and has its own LFO.
