Tekno v1.1 free update out now. Create massive electronic drum sounds from the ground up.

Craft deep electronic drums

• Build hard and modern synthesized drums from scratch – without samples
• Includes 18 drum engines, powered by cutting-edge analog modeling
• New in v1.1: Built-in sequencer for quick and creative beat generation

Stop browsing for the perfect sample and create your own massive electronic drum sounds instead – with total control.

Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, claps, hats, percussion and more. Craft unique drum kits full of punch and analog flavor to suit any musical genre.

Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly. Or simply drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing.

Next-Generation Drum Synthesis

To build Tekno, we teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling. Our goal was to create a modern spiritual successor to the legendary drum machines of the 20th century. Not an emulation, but more.

Tekno stands on the shoulders of classic drum machines but hits deeper and harder. It utilizes a combination of authentic circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put in a plugin.

Create sequences that never repeat
Tekno v1.1 includes a brand-new creative sequencer built around two core ideas.

1. Fast beat generation: Use smart randomization, auto-fill and quick on/off and velocity controls to create new beat ideas in an instant.

2. Optional unpredictability: Create evolving polyrhythms with variable step lengths and lane speeds. Assign chance values to introduce randomness.

Drag and drop any sequence into your DAW as a MIDI file for further editing.

Unlimited tweaking Or instant inspiration

Click the ‘Gear’ icons next to any synth voice or FX section to unlock deep calibration and circuit-bending options.

Or hit the onboard ‘Dice’ icons to let Tekno’s smart random-algorithm generate all-new drums with every click.

You can also start from the 73 global presets and 1314 individual voice presets by leading sound designers such as Richard Devine, Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo.

Each Hit is Unique

Tekno is a synthesizer. It generates every drum hit from scratch through a complex non-linear VA circuit. That means it never hits exactly the same way twice – a quality it shares with the classic analog drum machines (and a big part of their magic). Compare this to samples, which are just static snapshots, and you’ll find that Tekno’s subtleties make tracks come more alive.

Tekno allows you to exaggerate this behavior further: Use the on-board humanize parameters to introduce extra variation in timbre, velocity and timing every time a sound is triggered.

Loaded with Analog-Modeled Effects

Tekno’s onboard effects have been crafted with the same care and meticulous analog-modeling efforts as the drum voices.

There are no ‘copy-paste FX’ in Tekno, but a unique suite of coloration tools created especially for this instrument.

Beef-up individual drums with analog-modeled tape saturation, excitation and compression. And make the whole kit shine with a punchy limiter/clipper combo that will cut through any mix.

Features

• Craft deep and massive synthesized drums – from the ground up, with total flexibility
• Use onboard humanize features to create alive beats where each hit is different
• A modern reimagination of the legendary drum machines that shaped music culture
