Introducing Tremor, FXpansion’s New Software Drum Machine

FXpansion has launched Tremor, a software drum machine with DCAM-modelled synthesis and effects, modulation and step-sequencing.

In Tremor, according to FXpansion, DCAM circuit-modelled sound generation is fused with new ideas to produce original sounds with the punch and extreme sound pressure of old-school analogue. Tremor’s dance drums, funky beatscapes, abstract machines and undiscovered sonic terrain are suited to all kinds of electronic, urban and experimental music.

Central to each of Tremor’s 8 synthesis engines is the specialized DCAM oscillator with harmonic partials akin to a drumskin’s modes of vibration. Mixed with a sub-oscillator and tuned noise source, the signal is sculpted by modelled drive/filter/FX sections and razor-sharp envelopes. Tremor’s output includes classic kicks, snares and claps, organic hats and body-shaking subs alongside futuristic zaps, scrapes, textures and “sounds that defy classification.”

The TransMod modulation system in Tremor is reportedly easier and deeper than a mod-matrix. It offers new sound design possibilities and lets you animate sounds with LFOs, step-automation sequences and real-time macro controls while the synthesis engine reacts just like real analogue circuits. Tremor’s sonic potential is showcased in the included suite of presets by a team of sound designers.

Tremor is available as a download-only, VST/AU/RTAS and standalone product from the FXpansion web shop for $149, and – right now to registered owners of Geist or DCAM: Synth Squad – for a special price of $99, until February 9 2012.
