Circuit-bent VST drum synthesizer, Broken Drum Machine is a software that provides users with the ability to create unique and distorted drum sounds like that of a circuit-bent drum machine.
If you're looking for a unique drum machine plugin for your DAW, Broken Drum Machine should be on your list. Inspired by the circuit-bending culture and the sound of old school beat boxes, BDM offers chaotic and ever-changing sounds that'll inspire and stimulate your creativity.
The plugin includes four drum pads for bass drum, snare, hi-hat, and stick, all featuring tone, pan, decay, pitch, and gain controls like any other drum machine. However, what sets BDM apart is the "broken factor." Each pad comes with its own sliders for chaos and chance. Chaos sets the amount of variations you want in the sound, and chance defines the probability of chaos occurring. By automating these sliders, you can create wild and unpredictable sounds, similar to manipulating an analog circuit.
One downside is that BDM cannot save a bank of presets or single presets, so you'll need to recreate your sound each time you use it. Additionally, the plugin periodically plays a short melody over your audio, which may be a dealbreaker. Overall, if you're looking to add some chaos and unpredictability to your drum tracks, Broken Drum Machine is worth checking out.
