Key Features
Image Line Drumaxx is a revolutionary take on electronic drum production that uses physical modelling algorithms to generate sounds and tones. Straying away from traditional drum sample libraries that give you a one-dimensional sound, Drumaxx breaks down each scientific component that makes up a drum hit and physically models these and gives you flexible control over each and every parameter. Control everything from the thickness, tension, envelope, material, damping and much more to curate a drum sound that works for you and your mix. Stand out from the crowd and avoid using the same tired and predictable samples with Drumaxx.
Truly unrivaled in flexibility, Drumaxx gives you the ability to craft any drum sound you want without the need for gigabytes worth of multi-layered drum samples. The ideal companion for the electronic music producer, Drumaxx can even produce cymbal and metallic percussion sounds, allowing you to create a complete drum kit within one plug-in.

Where other drum machines or libraries may use samples or even commonly used synthesis techniques, Drumaxx takes a different approach by employing intelligent modelling algorithms. A tremendous leap forward in electronic music production, Drumaxx's algorithms are not based on oscillators or pre-recorded samples and therefore don't fall victim to the typical 'electronic and sterile' sounds of other plug-ins.
The algorithms included in Drumaxx can be used to create a myriad of different sounds, whether that's realistic snares, bass drums, percussion or even modelling existing electronic samples with more dynamic expression than ever before. Pushing the envelope on what is possible with digital drum modelling, Drumaxx can even convincingly create cymbal sounds and metallic orchestral percussion.
In order to create the most authentic drum sounds possible, Drumaxx uses a complex model where each hit is analysed and broken down into component parts. The vibrating membrane of the drum or cymbal is represented as a mesh of interconnected points, where each point is given physical properties such as mass, inertia, stiffness, damping and more to make up the scientific nature of the drum hit. This is translated into parameters that you have complete control over within Drumaxx to manipulate and create the exact sounds you need for your music and mix.
Take control over the material, thickness, tension and envelope of your modelled drum as well as the body material, vibration and damping and craft your unique sonic signature that will get your music heard amongst the crowd. Additionally, these parameters can be modulated in real-time through velocity control to create dynamic, exciting and lively performances. Where others fail, the Drumaxx succeeds in bringing you a completely fresh approach to sound design, breaking free from traditional sample libraries to give your mixes a unique sound that nobody else can achieve. The flexibility of Drumaxx gives you multi-dimensional performance options with a nearly infinite number of sound possibilities.
