JMT Synth VDR1-b Drum
VDR1-b is a revised edition of the JMT's excellent desktop percussion synthesizer. For those familiar with the previous version of the synth, the control layout will appear closely familiar, yet VDR1-b enjoys a number of improvements especially in the realm of its connectivity. The core of the percussion synthesizer is a wideband oscillator with switchable sawtooth and triangle waveforms and a resonant VCF. The synthesizer can be excited via an external trigger source or by simply tapping on the enclosure thanks to a built-in piezo sensor. The internal variable frequency oscillator can be applied simultaneously, and to a varied extent to filter frequency cutoff parameter, and oscillator frequency allowing for sculpting complex, harmonically-rich timbres. Additionally, the synth sports external CV inputs which makes complex modulation of the crucial tone-shaping parameters or precise sequenced rhythms a possibility. All-in-all VDR-1 is an excellent addition to any electronic percussion setup offering a wide sonic potential including punchy toms, gabber-like kicks, noisy snares, high-pitched chirps, growling basslines, and everything in between.
