will there be a intro offer?

What would be the benefit of owning this and DK+?

The demos sound great and the gui looks awesome! I'll help with the beta if given a chance

DKS is outstanding as a drum synth, and stands equaled only by Ugo's Ironhead in that class.

Thanks man for your words.
AK1 was something like this plug-in, but totally modular (you can load sound generators, including the one in the DKS, effects, sequencers, etc...).

I realized too late that its design was partially flawed... so I'm starting again the whole thing from here (and with Macintosh support too).

Can you recognize the DKS sound generator?

The DKS has a long history...

offer yes, benefit: DKS is a synth! DK+ is a sample player

do you like this theme?

DKS is a synth! DK+ is a sample player

I meant to say, will they interact with each other in a special way?

I have a few drum machines so it looks like DKS is in my realm on interset.

thanks for the intro offer.

Very nice. We don't see enough red in synthworld, with our love for silver, black and blue.

Soon, I hope?

PM'd you liqih

I wonder if you could talk a bit about the physmod stuff in here. What does PM depth do? Do you see DKS offering a very wide variety of tones or mostly a few specialized sounds? Another mp3 would be great if you have the time!

yes. the skin looks nice, but an alternative in more neutral colors (black, silver) would alo be welcome.

love the red skin liqih!

@Jeremy- on DKS, *I think*, PM stands for 'Phase Modulation', not 'physical modelling'. Liqih said that the only phys. mod. is the 'shell' section.

liqih · Post by **liqih** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 1:01 pm

right, PM is pitch modulation,

even though the "shell" has only size and level parameters it's very effective in giving acoustic resonance to any sound

However, the easier it is for even the casual tweaker to be a DIYer, the better the instrument because each copy will be more uniquely the user's own.

I have to agree with you John.
Did you get the beta? If not pm me.

Aldo · Post by **Aldo** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 2:43 pm

With the DKS you can get a wide range of sounds (including classic TR-808 kick and snares) and change them during the song.
For example in the previous demo I posted (http://www.araldfx.com/audiodemos/dks_normal_stuff.mp3) you hear tree different bass drums sound.
They aren't. The kick sound is just one and I only changed the PM attack parameter via automation.

There are tenth of other tricks that cannot be done (or easily done) with sample based synthesizers.
We will publish some (probably video) tutorials during the next months.

To your question: the answer is no, they won't interact directly, but the instruments are complementary.
