The Drum Source

The Drum Source is a sample based drum machine VST instrument with a sequencer. It looks and “feels” like a classic (x0x) hardware drum machine. The built in sample browser makes it very easy to navigate through your samples. With the previous and next sample buttons you can quickly change a sample.
