Synsonic BD-808

The Synsonic Instruments BD-808 software-plugin is useful for creating 808-style Bass Drum Sounds.

The underlying signal processing is based on a detailed analysis of the original 808 Bass Drum circuit.

With the MIDI-Control it is also possible to use the plugin as a Bass Synthesizer.

Originally the 808 Bass Drum has the following parameters for soundshaping:

• Accent: Strength of the drum sound.
• Level: Output level.
• Decay: Duration of the drum sound.
• Tone: Amount of attack-click.

Additionally the Synsonic Instruments BD-808 offers the following useful soundshaping possibilities:

• Tune: Tuning in halftones.
• Fine: Tuning in cents.
• LongDecay: Extends decay range.
• MidiSync-Tune: Tune depends on played Midi-Note.
• MidiSync-Accent: Accent depends on Velocity of played Midi-Note.

With the MIDI Learn function you can assign any MIDI-Controller to a parameter of the Bass Drum.
