What MODO DRUM 1.5 SE does
Unlike traditional sample-based virtual drums, the instrument synthesizes each drum in real time through physical modeling, so the diameter, height and shell profile of every drum can be changed. A kit is assembled from elements, and the developer describes a cymbal sample engine alongside the synthesized voices. The Custom Shop lets a user build a new drum room, and a single click in the Showroom opens the IK website, where a new kit is fetched through IK Product Manager and installed directly into MODO DRUM. Convolution is used so that each element of a kit interacts with the space it sits in.
Queries pair the name with keygen and serial key, and the VST3, AU and AAX builds are each typed as VST crack, AU crack or AAX crack.
Key features
- Real-time modal synthesis. Drum voices are generated in real time by modal synthesis, and the developer describes this physical modeling approach as the basis of the instrument rather than sample playback.
- Element and shell control. Each element of a kit can be adjusted, including the diameter, height and shell profile of every drum, which changes the voice itself.
- Kit-wide performance settings. The entire kit can be set through the drum kit, play style, sticks and room effects, so the performance is shaped from one place.
- Integrated mixer. A mixer built into the instrument sets levels and panning per element, and each element can be muted, soloed or have its phase flipped.
- Grouped buses and sends. Elements are grouped into buses, and each element has two sends so several elements can be processed together.
Compatibility
The instrument comes as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native support for Apple Silicon listed and a minimum of macOS 10.9. It requires 8 GB of RAM.
