Punk Labs has announced the release of OneTrick Urchin, a hybrid drum synth modeling gritty lo-fi beats without sampling. Available as a CLAP, VST3 and Audio Unit plugin for Linux, Windows and macOS.
It is best described by Punk Labs:
OneTrick Urchin simulates drums being recorded, played back, and chopped. It's powered by a combination of spectral and physical modeling which is run through effects and filters designed to give a saturated vintage feel. You can control the "playback speed" that the drums were "sampled" at on the fly with the pitch wheel, which might just be a first.
The features list also boasts 20 factory presets, a preset browser with tags and editing, as well as multi-out and stereo buses.
Price: $79.
The source code is available under the GPLv3 for anyone to inspect, adapt and learn from.
