Sequential Circuits Drumtraks Revisited

Full Bucket Music describes DrumTraqs as a software instrument for Microsoft Windows (VST2/VST3/CLAP/AAX) and Apple macOS (VST2/VST3/CLAP/AU/AAX) simulating the classic Sequential Circuits Drumtraks drum computer from 1983. They say that it is written in native C++ code for high performance and low CPU consumption.

A spokesperson told us, "DrumTraqs is not intended to be the latest hot-stuff power drum plug-in with bells and whistles (although there are some bells), the most cunning AI-driven super- human composition assistance tool, nor the coolest mega spawn of those magical 80s sound machines. Instead it is a faithful recreation of the original hardware with all its limitations and only a few extensions. Don't be afraid of time travel - this is the way drum computers were handled more than 40 years ago!"
