To achieve this, they teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling technology. It utilizes a combination of circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put in a plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea here is to produce your drums without using samples, with the aim of getting you out of endlessly browsing for the perfect sample, and instead, providing a way to create your own electronic drum sound, with total user control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tekno - Baby Audio - Official Tutorial\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C-iLairdqno?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 18 fully synthesised drum engines inside of Tekno; from kicks, snares, clap, hats, percussion and more. The combination of which gives you the ability to craft fully custom drum kits full of analog flavour and punch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a MIDI sequence to trigger the sounds inside Tekno, or drag and drop the sounds into your DAW for external sequencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go as deep as you like &#8211; Go deep with each synth voice by clicking the gear icon next to it to unlock deep calibration and circuit-bending options. Alternatively, hit the dice icons to let the smart random algorithm inside of Tekno generate all-new drums with each click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tekno comes with 73 global presets and 1,314 individual voice presets crafted by world-leading sound designers such as Richard Devine, Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tekno uses complex non-linear VA circuits to synthesise sound, this means that the sounds generally don&#8217;t hit exactly the same way twice, a quality that Baby Audio wanted to keep from the classic analog drum machine counterparts that party inspired Tekno. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tekno features a range of onboard analog-modeled effects, including tape saturation, excitation, and compression. It also has a limiter\/clipper combo, ring mod and reverb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing and availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Platforms:<\/strong> Mac OS 10.11+ (with Native Apple Silicon Compatibility).
