Tangent Drum: Revolutionizing Reed Drums for Music Creators

Welcome to the future of music production with Tangent Drum, a groundbreaking reed drum designed to elevate your compositions. If you’re searching for a versatile and high-quality instrument, this is the only reed drum you’ll ever need. With innovative recording techniques and an unparalleled range of sounds, Tangent Drum delivers an immersive audio experience like no other.

Why Tangent Drum Stands Out in Music Production

Tangent Drum isn’t just another instrument; it’s a game-changer for musicians and producers. Our team has meticulously captured the essence of this unique reed drum using a variety of microphone setups, blending traditional and experimental approaches. The result? A rich palette of tonal colors that bring your tracks to life.

What sets this instrument apart is the detailed breakdown of each sound sample into three distinct layers: pitch, drum, and root tones. This innovative approach allows for the creation of sophisticated patches, ensuring crystal-clear audio quality in every note you play.

Innovative Features for Limitless Creativity

Tangent Drum offers an impressive array of features to fuel your creativity:

• Multi-Key Resonance: Available in multiple keys (C, D, E, F, G, A, B), ensuring harmonious resonance across your compositions.
• Expansive Range: Enjoy a seamless 6-octave range without any pitch-stretching artifacts, delivering pristine sound quality.
• Diverse Articulations: From finger-played techniques to mallet strikes and experimental objects, explore nearly 30 unique articulations, including 5 core, 13 prepared, and 10 sound design variations.
• Immersive Audio: Recorded in native Ambisonics, Tangent Drum offers a fully immersive audio experience, compatible with stereo, surround, spatial audio, and more.

Cutting-Edge Recording Techniques

The magic of Tangent Drum begins with its recording process. We’ve gone beyond conventional methods by using a combination of overhead mics and Ambisonics technology to capture sound from every angle. This ensures a realistic and enveloping soundscape, whether you’re mixing in stereo or spatial formats.

Our pioneering ‘macrosampling’ technique takes precision to the next level. By placing ultra-sensitive microphones just millimeters from the sound source, we’ve tailored each recording to the specific tongue of the drum. Additionally, an internal Ambisonics mic creates the sensation of being surrounded by the instrument’s resonance, no matter how you manipulate the sound.

For those who prefer a ready-to-use solution, we’ve crafted a pre-mixed version combining all mic positions. This turnkey setup lets you dive straight into creating without spending hours on mixing.

Unmatched Articulations and Sound Design

Tangent Drum pushes boundaries with its vast array of playing styles and post-production techniques. Beyond traditional finger and mallet articulations, we’ve experimented with unique prepared sounds using objects like hot rods, brushes, wrenches, and even bowed tongues. These organic sounds, paired with multiple round-robin and velocity layers, offer endless sonic possibilities.

For those who crave something extraordinary, our 10 bespoke sound design articulations add a layer of creative madness to your projects. Whether you’re producing for film, games, or music, these effects provide a distinctive edge.

Complete Control for Every Producer

Every sample in Tangent Drum has been deconstructed into tonal and atonal components, giving you full control over the instrument’s resonance and transients. This meticulous process eliminates pitch artifacts, even at extreme ranges, and allows you to customize each layer to suit your mix.

With 25 individual presets, multiple looping algorithms, and compatibility across various speaker arrays (including VR and binaural sound), Tangent Drum is a comprehensive tool for any music creator. Whether you’re working on a MIDI keyboard or crafting immersive soundscapes, this instrument adapts to your needs.
