One more drum synth. Wow, what great marketing. They really spotted a niche and developed the perfect product.

i think Tattoo sounds fine, drumatrix redefines thin drum sounds though

[beats me]

It does sort of feel like all music software developers decided they needed a drum plug-in and just got around to releasing them.

Aside from Maschine I haven't heard of any of these being released in the last year that are must haves, but there's no shortage of plug-inaholics that will buy stuff because they can't help it.

Tried the Beta in Live, crashed it four times, gave up lol

[mholloway]

Just clicking the preset arrow crashed live every time, hm. Though it is a beta.....anyway I think it sounds good. But it's no microtonic killer, it's just cheap.

I don't know, read about it and listened to the demos. Compared to Tattoo it looks interesting to me.. Sounds tight and expressive.

At the core of Drumatrix is a model of the drum-head. Here the vibrating membrane is represented in a mesh of inter-connected of points, each given physical properties, mass, inertia, stiffness, damping and all that good physics stuff. For the musician, this means Drumatrix can model the drum-head with multiple parameters such as material, thickness, tension and even shape. More importantly the parameters can be modulated in real-time as a function of velocity or external controls. The drum body is also modelled, in terms of material, size, vibration damping and shape. All this gives you multi-dimensional performance possibilities, a Matrix of variables providing the almost infinite complexity & subtlety of hitting a real drum.

It makes some new sounds, some of which are nice. But the UI is fidgetty as hell, and the sequencer just seems tacked on.

I think I will stick to either microtonic or operator racks for drum synths for now.

Thanks! I just realized I too own microtonic, and haven't used it for ages (hadn't even installed it on the MBP I currently use). Downloaded and installed it, and boy it sounds good. Wonder how did I forgot about it in the first place.

To be fair, both Drumatrix and Tattoo are trying for different things that MT.

I might pick up Tattoo at some point, but that still will not replace MT, they have a different goal and sound.

i might buy it. but i will check tatoo also.
