Tekno’s 18 entirely synthesized drum engines provide producers with powerful drums with the flexibility to go beyond typical drum machine programming found in hardware units. Envisioned as a spiritual successor to the iconic drum machines that shaped music culture, Tekno is not an emulation of any hardware unit from the past, but rather an evolution of the underlying technology.
“The Heaviest Synthesized Drums Ever” —Baby Audio.
As a synthesizer containing no pre-recorded audio (meaning Tekno contains no samples —Ed) of any kind, each hit that Tekno produces is unique. With complex non-linearities from its modeled analog circuits and engaging variation from its Humanize features, Tekno’s evolving subtleties make tracks come alive as samples never could.
Exceptionally tweakable, Tekno offers fast and flexible sound design with optional fine-tuning down to the individual components of the modeled circuits. But if you don’t want to get under the hood with every sound, Tekno is infused with the best ever edition of Baby Audio’s smart preset randomizer, which instantly generates fresh, release-ready drums that have never been heard before.

For the development of Tekno, Baby Audio collaborated with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog modeling. Jatin has made major contributions to the music software industry through widely used open-source projects and several academic publications. He holds an M.A. from Stanford University in Music, Science, and Technology and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. at MIT.
Loaded with powerful effects created in collaboration with Chowdhury, Tekno’s power and range make it ideal for any genre where massive, modern drums are required. Tekno launches with 73 custom kit presets from producers including Mr. Bill, Richard Devine, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo.
Tekno’s onboard effects have been crafted to deliver a unique suite of coloration tools created especially for a drum synthesizer. Beef-up individual drums with analog-modeled tape saturation, excitation and compression. Or make the whole kit shine with a punchy limiter/clipper combo that will cut through any mix.
