Announcing our flagship drum synthesizer — Tekno

Tekno is here.

18 voices. Zero samples. A contemporary drum synthesizer.

This is the most powerful instrument we’ve ever built. Tekno doesn’t just knock — it kicks the door down.

OK so. I bought it. Basically because I have 0 self-control when it comes to BA products.

Immediately out of the gate, I see Richard Devine in the top placement with a drum kit. RD is beyond elite and a sonic master. I loaded it up in Reason, I used the drum sequencer but unfortunately the hats are actually firing the toms - Which I could fix, but I wanted to make minor mention about that. So far, this thing is straight up BEAST MODE. So many parameters to change and play with - but the coolest thing i’ve spotted within 5mins of tinkering with it, The drum kit preset box. Ex. I can dial in the global setting of Allison R Mixtape - Polydata as the actual drum kit I want, But lets say I want to change KICK A - I can select the drum and change JUST the kick to the Berlin kit. Then I can select SNARE A and select the Big Room kit.

It’s not that I needed this drum machine, but I needed this drum machine :slight_smile:

The only downside was, after I checked out I saw the banner with the latest coupon code, but hey you win some, you lose some :slight_smile:

Overall, this is a really, REALLY cool plugin and it sounds so heavy. I don’t even have it processing via my drum bus so there’s all this “Beat Smasher/IHNY2 Love” baked into the kick by default. This is really fresh. <3 Keep it up guys!

I really like the streamlined approach as a drum synth without being bloated by yet another sequencer :grin: …especially for iOS… the more focused the GUI, the better…It’d be good if the user could scale down how many drum voices to match a specific controller/trigger device…to say 12 vs. 18 :wink:

That won’t make it into the upcoming version, but it’s something that has been suggested before. We’ll look into it for future iterations! :slight_smile:
