Drum machine..."cool fake" sound.

eligit · 8th November 2005

i'm interested in finding a drum machine that has a "cool fake" vibe. in other words it does not by any stretch of the imagination sound like real drums but has a great rich drum machine sound of it's own. some of the radiohead records have these "cool fake" sounds.

what are some cool ones?

a lot of radiohead's synthetic sounds come from an analog modular synth (doepfer i think). if you really want to get into heavy patch design / programming, you might want to look in this direction.

if you want a more straighforward (and certainly cheaper as well) solution:
