Tekno is a modern drum synthesizer designed to create powerful, dynamic, and deeply customizable electronic drum sounds. Inspired by the legendary machines that shaped music culture, it combines analog circuit modeling with cutting-edge DSP to deliver punch, warmth, and flexibility. Every hit is generated from scratch, making beats feel alive and full of character.

Produce Drums Without Samples

Stop browsing for the perfect sample and design your own electronic drum sounds with full control. Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, claps, hats, percussion, and more. Build unique kits with analog flavor for any genre. Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly, or drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing.

Next-Generation Drum Synthesis

Developed in collaboration with analog circuit modeling engineer Jatin Chowdhury, Tekno is more than an emulation. It stands as a spiritual successor to classic drum machines, delivering deeper, harder-hitting results. By merging circuit-modeling with advanced DSP, it produces some of the punchiest synthesized drums ever in a plugin.

Deep Tweaking or Fast 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 for smart randomization that generates new drums instantly. Start from 73 global presets and 1,314 individual voice presets crafted by leading sound designers including Richard Devine, Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot, and Yoad Nevo.

Each Hit is Unique

As a synthesizer, Tekno generates every hit through a complex non-linear VA circuit, ensuring no two hits are ever exactly the same. This quality, reminiscent of classic analog machines, adds organic variation to tracks. Onboard humanize parameters allow further control over timbre, velocity, and timing for even more expressive results.

Loaded with Analog-Modeled Effects

Tekno’s effects are designed with the same analog-modeled precision as its drum engines. Enhance individual sounds with tape saturation, excitation, and compression, or polish the entire kit with a powerful limiter/clipper combo built to cut through any mix.
