- Overview
This VST plugin is built on a neural network model designed to synthesize percussive sounds—such as kicks, snares, and cymbals—by allowing users to control them through high-level, intuitive descriptors. Instead of tweaking obscure synthesis parameters, users can shape the sound using familiar concepts like “brightness,” “warmth,” or “sharpness.” The plugin uses a deep learning model trained on thousands of real-world percussive samples, and it translates these musical qualities into audio waveforms.
After changing a parameter, you have to press the “Generate” button to create a new sound. Once the sound is generated, the new incoming MIDI notes will trigger the new sound. If you want to change the sound again, you have to press the “Generate” button again.
