What Tekno does
Tekno generates every sound through synthesis, so no sample library is loaded. Its 18 drum engines cover kicks, snares, claps, hats and percussion, and each engine can be set with detailed controls reached through the Gear icons placed next to each synth voice and effect. Global kits and voice presets give a starting point, with 73 global kits and 1314 voice presets included.
The Dice icons generate new drum combinations, and a humanize function adds subtle timing and velocity variation.
Key features
- 18 synthesized drum engines. Each engine produces one drum type from synthesis alone, covering kicks, snares, claps, hats and percussion without sample playback.
- Gear-based deep editing. The Gear icons open detailed controls for any synth voice or effect, letting the sound be shaped from the same window used for quick preset changes.
- Preset library. The included library contains 73 global kits and 1314 individual voice presets to use as starting points before editing.
- Humanize and randomization. The humanize function adds subtle variation to a pattern, and the Dice icons use a randomization algorithm to generate new drum sounds on demand.
- Sequencer with chance values. Smart randomization, auto-fill, velocity controls, variable step lengths, lane speeds and per-step chance values allow patterns that change from one bar to the next.
- Analog-modeled effects. The effects suite includes tape saturation, excitation, compression and a mix-cutting limiter/clipper, all written for this plugin.
