Mini Drum Lone Singer

After programming the Mini Drum Magic Ladder I looked back at it and thought it was very fun to make… So fun that it would need some friends to play with!

The Mini Drum Lone Singer is born on the same concept as its predecessor, only using a different source or perhaps just made in another universe.
It displays the same familiar interface, struchtured into 10 independent, sample-based channels but this time it features sounds made with a digital recreation of one of the rarest synths of the mid 70s: born as a compact single-voice module, it then became the foundation brick for a new generation of polyphonic beasts, almost disappearing, cannibalized by technicians during time and space to fix and maintain those bigger synthesis systems.
The effect section comprises a waveshaper, High and Low pass resonant filters and a peculiar reverb, plus an LFO based vibrato labeled Instability to make the whole thing a little wobbly.
The onboard Reverb is messy, quirky, loud.
It’s a convolution effect powered by a very special set of Impulse Responses I made, recorded from an exoteric effect unit that uses LEDs and optical sensors to modulate the sound passing through an old school analog reverb tank.
I tried to capture a still of it and the results are pretty interesting, the effect has a “drippy” yet eerie sound.
Various IRs are selectable to alter the tails length and it has a single mix control to choose how strong it’ll affect your sound.

This is a sort of tributary re-interpretation series of classic drum machines, aimed at composers, producers, sound designers and synths enthusiasts to play and enjoy.
