Simon Drums

Simon is a drum VSTi inspired by Simmons Drums. I'm not sure at all how close to the original units it is, anyway I'm quite satisfied with the result. The best way to take advantage of these modules is inside a modular environment like EnergyXT, anyway they can be used with any VST host. Three modules are available currently: the bassdrum, the snare drum and the hihat. I hope to find some time to develop also the tom module and an "all in one" version with all the different modules in one single VSTi.
I want to thanks Mac of BIOnighT for the idea, support and suggestions!


This VSTi is dedicated to my cat Simon.

SIMON HIHAT
Hybrid synth+sample module. The mix knob controls the mix level between the analog (synth) and digital (sample) section. The modulation wheel controls the ANALOG pitch (listen to the audio demo).
The hihat is mapped on F#1, G#1, A#1 (Closed, Pedal and Open).

SIMON SNARE
Hybrid synth+sample module. The "VAR" button switches on/off an internal LFO which introduces a slightly modulation in the analog and digital pitch parameter to create some variation in the sound to avoid the "gun machine effect".
The snare drum is mapped on D1-E1.

· CC#07 Main Volume
· CC#10 Pan
· CC#01 (Mod Wheel) Analog Pitch control
