Hi Tremor, can you kick it?

Hey,
Thank you.

As you've noticed, these sounds are different. I would just hope that they would offer more choice, so now you have a more 'experimental' sound in the factory set, and a more 'commercial' sound with this set.

Regarding some of the comments in this thread about the distortion effect and factory presets, you can rest assured that these sounds are build to sound good without distortion. This is the whole point. Clean but punchy. Up front, but not distorted. There are a couple of techno kicks that do use a high level of distortion on purpose, but that's only a few sounds.

Hm. You just sold me Tremor :tu:

:-) Hope you get a lot of use out of it. Spend some time with the manual as Tremor has a lot of depth that is not immediately apparent (even beyond the synthesis engine).

I guess I should dust this off and have another look. When I first bought it, I found the sound way too harsh/metallic for my own sound so pretty much abandoned it.

However, just realised that now I have stuff like Nebula, 32c, a range of tape emus and a treasure trove of other stuff perfect for softening harsh sounds, so I might give this another go. Apparently there is an expansion pack you can buy somewhere which really shows off Tremor's strengths, however I recall it wasn't cheap...

there is simon's tremendous beatz (http://www.patchpool.de/tremor.html), which is great btw :tu:

edit: sorry, for the OT, himalaya. i also love the demos of your soundset and will purchase it during the next days.

No worries Gosh, Tremor deserves all the exposure it can get, even after all these years, as it's really a fascinating drum synth/sequencer. The fact that the factory set is different is a plus in my book. What would the world be like if every kick, snare, crash and bang sounded the same? :D

and will purchase it during the next days
Thanks man. Here: :D

Hmm, intro offer did not last long, any chance to extend?

Just trying to find out if people find these kicks usable or not. At least from listening to these demos. I think some kicks are tuned too high and have a tad too long envelope decay, but that's to provide some variation in the demo patterns.
they are usable but you can clearly hear tremor is still very one dimensional and weak with kicks versus dedicated kick plugins as there's a lot it can't do for kicks. it also uses an entire core per pattern which is a bit OTT. (where as spark on the same machine here uses a quarter of a core for any kit and as much pattern as i need for that kit.. huge difference, and definitely better kicks, samples most of the time yes i know, but they sound good)

Honestly, i'd use something like SA kick or metrum for the kick, and use tremor for everything else (if i used tremor).

RP punch does decent kicks for sure and the only all in one that i think does it all "well enough", again with decent cpu.

I wish I could extend it, and I could do it easily, however there are Tremor users who already bought the set at 30Euro and changing it back to 25 now would be unfair to them. So please accept my sincere apology but I can not do it. :(

I did originally think that the intro price offer which lasted 2 weeks was too short.... A lesson for the future.

But, as an encouragement, there will be an update soon which will further extend the set with new sounds, making it even better value for money (OMG, I'm speaking as a marketing exec, perish the thought! :O )

A great audio demo that sounds like a collection of hardware analog drum synths.

Yep and if one has m4l it's coming with plenty generating devices. But I would prefer single tremor voice plugin to put into entry of AL-drum rack.

The only thing I didn't like about tremor is the somehow low control update rate .
While the lfo's would go up to 1024 Hz to do f.M. , the results was a bit lo-fi , especially compared to microtonic ( lfo=2KHZ) .
A lot of people complain about tremor not being ble to deliver the punch/oompf that microtonic does .
Tremor is perfectly capable of that by doing post dist/overdrive eff. after the actual gain envelope .
This way the amp env. does NOT shape the distorted output ,but the dist.eff.shapes the overall output shape , same as in microtonic .
If they could just update their iternal control rate I might buy it .
