Overview
Tekno is a new drum synthesizer plug-in from Baby Audio, designed to provide music producers with a flexible and powerful tool for creating electronic drum sounds through a fully synthesized drum engine. Relying on no sampling, Tekno combines the analog flavor of classic drum machines with modern digital signal processing (DSP) technology, bringing unprecedented impact and personalized sound design to electronic music production. Below are Tekno's key features and functions, translated from the original text for smooth and natural language interpretation.

Feature Highlights

  • Create deep, powerful synth drum sounds
    Tekno generates drum sounds from scratch, offering complete sound shaping freedom. Its 18 fully synthesized drum engines cover kicks, snares, claps, hats, percussion, and more, perfect for any musical style.
  • A modern interpretation of a classic drum machine
    Tekno doesn't simply emulate legendary 20th-century drum machines like the Roland TR-808 or TR-909. Instead, it uses analog circuit modeling and cutting-edge DSP technology to create more impactful, modern drum sounds while retaining the warmth and dynamic characteristics of classic drum machines.
  • No sampling required, full control
    Say goodbye to tedious sample searches. Tekno allows users to sequence drum sounds directly via MIDI, or drag and drop generated one-shots into any digital audio workstation (DAW) or folder for external sequencing, greatly improving work efficiency.
  • Humanized functions add realism
    The plug-in’s built-in “Humanize” parameter introduces subtle variations in timbre, velocity, and timing, making each strike slightly different and creating a more organic rhythm that avoids the mechanical feel of sampled sources.
  • Smart randomization and presets
    By clicking the "dice" icon, Tekno's intelligent randomization algorithm can instantly generate new drum sounds to inspire your creativity. In addition, the plug-in provides 73 global presets and 1,314 individual drum presets created by renowned sound designers such as Richard Devine, Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot, and Yoad Nevo.
  • Analog Modeling Effects Chain
    Tekno includes a range of analog modeling effects specifically designed for drum sounds, including tape saturation, excitation, compression, and a powerful limiter/clipper, ensuring your drums stand out in any mix.
  • Flexible operation
    Users can quickly adjust the sound through a simple slider interface, or click the "gear" icon to access in-depth calibration and circuit-bending options, meeting different needs from quick inspiration generation to in-depth sound design.
