Drumazon 2

What Drumazon 2 is

Drumazon 2 is a drum instrument plug-in that emulates the sounds of the original 909 drum machine. Its step sequencer supports tap recording and random pattern generation, alongside hundreds of factory patterns. Per-step flam and editable substep variants give you ways to adjust the feel of a rhythm. You can export patterns as MIDI by dragging and dropping, and trigger the instrument with MIDI notes, MIDI CC, or its graphical interface.

Each drum sound has its own channel strip for filtering, two-band parametric EQ, compression, and routing to either effect bus or the master bus. The two effect buses offer algorithms that include bitcrusher, distortion, reverb, delay, chorus, dynamics, EQ, and filtering. Master processing includes presets, a three-band compressor, and a limiter with a soft-clip option. D16 says the factory content contains over 1,000 presets and patterns.

Drumazon 2 runs on macOS and Windows, but requires a compatible host application and is not standalone. The listed plug-in formats are VST2, VST3, and AAX on Windows, and VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX on Mac. The one-time price is €119.00.
