percussion synthesizer
Sonic Charge µTonic is a VST plug-in featuring a unique drum and percussion synthesizer combined with a pattern based drum-machine engine.
You can use the µTonic as a sound module to play drum sounds from your MIDI keyboard or sequencer, or you can use the built-in pattern engine to play drum patterns in sync with your sequencer (provided your sequencer supports synchronization of plug-ins). The sound of the µTonic is 100% synthetic and rendered in real-time. No samples or pre-rendered waveforms are used.

- There is an alternative version of the µTonic with separate outputs for each drum channel ("MicroTonicVSTMulti").
- The µTonic features built-in support for MIDI controllers with easy-to-use on-screen editing and "MIDI learn". A MIDI controller can be assigned to a parameter in a specific drum channel, or if you prefer, to edit the currently selected drum channel. Once you have created your assignments you can save and load them.
- The program and drum patch file browsers feature direct previewing within the browsers. You can preview programs and patterns in their original tempo or synchronized to the music you are playing. Programs and individual drum patches can be previewed and compared directly without leaving the browser.
- There is a "pitched MIDI mode" which allows you to actually play melodies with the drum patches on your keyboard. In "pitched mode", the eight drum channels are addressed with MIDI channels 1 to 8 and you have the entire keyboard for each channel. C3 (note number 60) will play the "original pitch". This opens up new possibilities when you will be able to use the µTonic not only for drums, but also for melodies and bass lines. (Disclaimer: the µTonic will of course remain a drum synthesizer primarily.)
- The oscillator section has been blessed with an attack parameter so that you can achieve a softer sound and reduce the click of those 808-style bass drums. The attack envelope is exponential, just like the default envelope mode of the noise section.
- You can export individual patterns (or chains) to standard MIDI files and WAV files

Top tool!! if only more unique instruments were around for drums!!
This is by far one of the best tools for synthesized electronic drums ever on os x. adding the new pitching mode also makes it one of the coolest synths for electronic music! add to that it's amazingly super low cpy usage.
this is no toy by any means. it just may take some time to get past the presets and make your own amazing sounds which it is totally capable of making.
It's a toy that some way and in contrast to fat sounds, you can obtain interesting things. By to its monochromic sound, its route is short in the time. Immediately it tires to you.
Super cool Machine!
