Drum Synth Black Friday pricing is 70% off, $29, with the offer ending Nov 26, 2026, on AIR Music Technology's synthesizer drum machine plugin for building drum sounds from scratch.
The maker pitches it as a drum sound design tool. You generate a sound, shape it with effects, then save it as a user preset so your own percussion textures pile up over time.
It's a virtual instrument, not a sample player with a fixed library. The maker says you create and sculpt drum sounds from the ground up.
Presets are included too: 52 preset kits, ranging from classics to new creations.
The maker calls the core a multi-synth sound generator. It combines FM synthesis, analog modeling synthesis and physical modeling synthesis, and the feature list also mentions sample-based algorithms.
That powers 8 individual engines:
Each engine covers one drum voice, so a full kit can be designed inside one plugin.
The effects section includes a transient shaper, tuning, EQ, compression, reverb and delay. Drum Synth also has a dedicated mixer with independent controls, plus a classic one-shot feature.
Your finished sounds go into the onboard user preset slots, ready to recall later.
On Mac, Drum Synth runs on macOS 12, 13, 14 and 15, on both Intel and Apple Silicon. On Windows, it supports Windows 10 and Windows 11.
It loads in VST 2/3, AAX and AU hosts on Mac, and in VST 2/3 and AAX hosts on Windows.
If you want the full content installed, plan for that 20GB.
Yes. The Drum Synth Black Friday deal takes 70% off AIR Music Technology's drum machine plugin, bringing it to $29. The offer ends Nov 26, 2026.
Drum Synth has 8 individual engines: Kick, Snare, Clap, Hi-Hat, Tom, Percussion, Crash and Ride. They're driven by FM synthesis, analog modeling, physical modeling and sample-based algorithms, so each drum voice is synthesized rather than simply played back.
On Mac it runs in VST 2/3, AAX and AU hosts. On Windows it runs in VST 2/3 and AAX hosts. Supported systems are macOS 12 to 15 on Intel and Apple Silicon, plus Windows 10 and 11.
You get 52 preset kits and a set of sound-shaping effects: transient shaper, tuning, EQ, compression, reverb and delay. There's also a dedicated mixer with independent controls, and onboard user preset slots for saving your own sounds.
