KnightDrum fuses vintage EPROM grit, a true analog-style synth voice, a clean sampler and a modern engine — then runs every pad through its own reverb and delay. Build a kit, save it, and share it with the community.
Every pad can run a different engine. Mix vintage and modern in the same kit.
Classic sampled-ROM character with DAC non-linearity and tuning — that gritty, lo-fi vintage drum-machine bite.
Fully analog-style voice: VCO with tone bend & sweep, a noise section, resonant filter, and an LFO routable to pitch and cutoff.
Drop in your own samples, then crush them — bit depth and sample-rate reduction with musical tapers for clean to destroyed.
A clean, punchy sample engine with tuning, start/end trimming and fades — for tight, contemporary hits.
Room, hall, plate, nonlinear and reverse reverbs, plus a tempo-syncable stereo delay with drive, wow & flutter — on every pad and both sends.
Every engine, FX and mixer setting saves with the kit. Share kits, grooves and one-shots with the KnightDrum community.
Chop, play and perform — then take it straight into your DAW.
Slice and play your samples right on the pads, MPC-style. When a chop is ready, drag and drop or right-click to export it as a WAV — or convert it to a .bin EPROM file. Load those straight into KnightDrum's EPROM engine, or onto vintage drum machines and EPROM chips that read .bin files.
Ride the pitch and hi-hat decay controls on the fly and KnightDrum captures every move as automation, in real time. When the take feels right, drag the recorded MIDI straight out into your DAW to arrange, fine-tune and build your track around the performance.
