Tekno

Produce Drums Without Samples

Stop browsing for the perfect sample and create your own infectious electronic drum sounds instead – with total control. Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, clap, hats, percussion and more. Craft unique drum kits full of punch and analog flavor to suit any musical genre. Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly. Or simply drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing.

Next-Generation Drum Synthesis

To build Tekno Baby Audio teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling. Our goal was to create a modern spiritual successor to the legendary drum machines of the 20th century. Not an emulation, but more.

Tekno stands on the shoulders of classic drum machines but hits deeper and harder. It utilizes a combination of authentic circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put 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 to let Tekno’s smart random-algorithm generate all-new drums with every click. You can also start from the 73 global presets and 1314 individual voice presets by leading sound designers such as Richard Devine, Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo.
