I've been a fan of drumatic for a while, but I've recently had issues with the kick being ridiculously loud with no way to fix it, I can get around this with kick samples but I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to fix this issue?

Unfortunately, also doesn't work with Zynewave Podium. It says "Could not open Plugin Drumatic 3.dll" Any ideas, on how to fix??? (About 99 % Plugins are working without probs in Podium)

I've tried installing this plugin in the FL12 plugins folder as well as the general Vst Plugins folder. I'm using wine to run FL however I have never had any problems like this. Who knows, maybe I'm just being stupid.

This finds a good balance between weird, cold, digital synths like waldorf attack and warm, crude, analog synths. You can dial in some weird sounds and have loads of options but the basic sound quality is still quite warm and nice a lot of the time. There are lots of options but they are laid out in a fairly comprehensible manner so it shouldn't become too confusing. I maybe slightly prefer ERS drums for its mellower sound and simpler interface but this is a really excellent, serious bit of software. CPU usage is low.

Pretty much what everyone said. Just upvoting it. Anyone know about extra Drumatic 3 banks? Please post. Oh yeah, my goto drum synth. Use it all the time.

One of the best drum synth with DSK Drum synth, CM 505 and SR 202. But if you have 99$... buy a "Utonic" by Sonic Charge, it's a bomb.

Really fantastic drum synth! Give it a go. I use it to design al kinds of sound that I render out to one-shot samples. We use it a lot. Take a listen here: http://underthesurface.bandcamp.com

One of the BEST freeware drum synths there has ever been period! Drumatic 3 is even better than a lot of Commercial drum synths. It get full marks from me.

This is my fave drum vst. I have tried many; few can cut through the mix with this kind of punch and volume. Easy to use, and easy to customize, with a small load on the cpu. In my top ten of vst.

The best virtual drum machine I have used. For writing EBM & Industrial this is perfect with a few reverb and distortion fx stuck on top of it.

This is a generally good drum kit, but I think you should be able to name out the percussion, like it does in the FPC, or the Fruity Drumsynth Live.
