Groovy.
What I`m looking for is a really different percussion vst.
Not the usual 808, 909 boredom, but something different. There aren`t enough percussion plugs around really, and I`m bored of samples, I prefer the control of sound you get with percussion generators.
Are there any good ones out there?

I will try and list some that i think are different to the 808/909 stuff:

nads -not another drum synth



The NADS is a very flexible Drumsynthesizer which can really take electronic drums to new heights.
It features 6(six!) individual outputs, where you can freely route from anything to anything.

For example: You can route Drum Slot 1 to Mix Out 3 which then goes to "physical Output 1".

Each Stereo-Output also consists of a Brickwall-Limiter with adjustable "Wall" and a LoFi-Option.

The Synth itself has 7 slots which can player all over the keyboard, 30+ drumkits, four types of filters, stereo noise generator, velocity controllable parameters, built-in distortion for each slot and much more.

Finally , it is fully automatable and can even remote-controlled by MIDI!

The NADS comes in two Versions. One Multi-Out version with 30+ Kits and a extra Single-Out Version with one Drumslot and more than 100 single drumsounds (all fully synthesized).

Nah, I`m looking for something really different.

My First Step Sequencer



My First Step Sequencer is a simple 16-(or 8-)step sequencer aimed at children. It was designed in conjunction with spacedad (from kvr) and Jacky Lee, and comes with a shuffle mode and a note randomise button, as well as a scale-forcing control, to make it so that you can only select notes within a particular scale.

Note: I forgot to mention in the readme, but the plugin syncs to the host's transport, so to start it playing, hit play in your host.
