DGenR8

DGenR8 is an analog plugin that acts like a virtual drum machine and that features 11 voices and controls designed to mimic the TR-909. All the voices are entirely synthesized by digital algorithms which simulate the operation of analog circuitry within a drum machine, meaning they can be easily tweaked using the controls to modify synthesis parameters.

The plugin could come in handy for anyone who wants to add the sound of the 1990s in their mixes. More precisely, the drum machine is in the style of the Roland's TR Series and you can experiment with presets such as Rim Shot, Clap, Bass Drum, Low, Mid and High Toms, Snare Drum, Crash and Ride Cymbals or Open and Closed Hi Hats, just to name a few.

On a side note, the famous Roland TR-909 is the first drum machine that could work samples and MIDI files at the same time. Even though the model itself was not exactly popular, it opened the way for the development of various electronic dance music genres, such as acid, techno, rave or house. The reason for this stems from the fact that its sound was punchy and rather aggressive, compared to previous models that used to focus on boomy bass.
