Witech has released TheDrumsource which they describe as a VST instrument that is a sample based drum machine with x0x type of step sequencer. Here's what they have to say about it...
TheDrumSource is VST instrument that is a sample based drum machine. You can load it in any Digital audio workstation (DAW) like Cubase and Minihost.
It has a sequencer and a built in sample browser. It looks and "feels" like a classic (x0x) hardware drum machine. TheDrumSource is designed with the purpose to be very simple and easy to work with even if you are used to work with hardware drum machines or not. The built in sample browser in TheDrumsource makes it very easy to navigate through your samples. The sequencer can be running when looking for new samples. You will hear the sample the moment you selects it. There is also a quick button to select the previous and next sample in the same directory as the current selected sample. TheDrumsource has a very short time to get started on making your beats.
TheDrumSource exists because one of my friends telled me about how he missed the feeling to program drums like he does on the hardware drum machines such as Roland TR-808. He had found what he wanted Propellerheads ReDrum drum machine but found it irritating to have two hosts in parallel running, because ReDrum isn't a VSTi.
The guys behind TheDrumSource are me Ola Wistedt and Mats Lindfors. Mats Lindfors has given TheDrumSource the beautiful look and is the one with knowledge how to use a hardware drum machines. I am the guy that program the software to be as close to the old feeling as possible and off course tries to add usable features that is possible thanks to the computer.
