Drum synth plugin

The TR8 is not a synth machine actually, it's based on samples too (i have one too, but i am gonna sell it haha) That's why it sounds so shitty against a real tr 808, or even the tr808 clone from behringer for instance (which is fully analogue).

Yeah but it is not just sample based I guess, like Mc grooveboxes where you have a Zen core platform.
Looking at Air drum synth 500, I wonder if it's coming on Mpc with the same sequencer which looks very interesting and more advanced then Mpc one.

I am actually not sure what that Zen Core really means in terms of synthesis/sampling, but the TR8 doesn't have that zen core.

Hmm i would assume it will just be the plugin to shape drumsounds and not the sequencer. Though i do really love the xox way of programming, gonna miss that..

Read that from the only Air drum synth 500 plugin review I found:

"There are eight channels for your beats, including two sampler channels where you can load in your own WAVs. Each of these channels contains a lot of hands-on action, including nine dials that open each one. These vary per sound. The kick and snare are generated by oscillators so you get Amp and Pitch parameters to adjust among others. The clap and hats use noise as a source so you get Spread, Noise, Timbre and EQ sections.

The toms and percussion utilise FM as a source, so they offer Operator and Pitch sections. Finally, the two Sampler channels have Pitch, Amp and Sampler sections to adjust. That’s a lot of different types of sound-generation packed into one unit. As if that’s not enough, though, you get a load of effects per channel – see stats above – plus a fully featured master channel with yet more effects to use. These are a highlight, offering so much more flexibility – even though there are a lot of synthesis options already.

There’s no sequencer for quick beat creation, but 500 supplied MIDI files will get you started and you can then have them trigger different kits from the 50 or so on offer. Great as they are, this drum machine is all about getting in there and synthesizing each sound.

Here, you could literally fall off a cliff and into a world of beat synthesizing for hours, as there’s a lot of fun to be had experimenting and driving beats hard and then even harder. In fact, we’d thoroughly recommend doing just this, as you’ll quickly learn the impact and value of each parameter"

So there is no sequencer ahah.
Sorry I made a mistake.
But it looks definitely interesting, isn't it?

haha no worries It does look sick!

What would be cool is a XOX style of sequencing on the MPC live screen. How sick would that be?
