Granite 3 can create vintage drum machines drum sounds and effects using both it's built in oscillators and 16 bit wav samples. It costs $37/€29/£20 and a demo version is available for download.

• Each MIDI note has its own property, such as output channel, choke group, volume, pitch, filter frequency and envelope speed.
• Each drum preset uses two general purpose oscillators and a noise oscillator. Each oscillator can use either the 22 built in basic waves / samples or your own .wav samples.
• Each oscillator has its own 12/24 db low/high/band pass/band reject/ring mod/ comb filter, and has frequency & ring modulation.
• Each drum preset has its own decimator effect to further alter the sound.
• The drum preset's parameters can be controlled using vari-slope envelope and variable number of repeats.
• More than 200 preset and a full manual are included with Granite.
