However, things can get much more interesting if you want them to. By default, playback will be at the original pitch/speed with velocity routed to volume, so if you're looking for a quick way to assign and playback samples, Elecktroid is a great solution.

This makes set up of a full kit extremely easy if your sound sources are ready to go-simply select each in turn and drop them onto the pads of your choice. Alternatively, clicking the Synth button to the right toggles the second source back to a sample and, allied to the sampled first sound source, this is where the main part of Elecktroid's power lies.īringing samples into either of Elecktroid's "sample layers" is child's play they can either be dragged and dropped from the Finder, or incorporated from the audio files area within your chosen DAW. However, as a range of synth parameters then lie in store for you to subtly tweak or wreak havoc upon your choice from those four, it only takes moments to render the relevance of these names null and void, if you so desire. Choosing the latter option, the second, synthesized sound source provides a choice of four sonic start points: Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Wood Drum or Hi Hat. It soon becomes apparent that each pad can be set up either with two samples triggered from each pad or with a combination of a single sample and a synthesized waveform. Doing this provides a much better insight into how Elecktroid is structured. As with DrumSpillage, a certain amount of editing can be done to pads within this main window but, for more under-the-hood control, it's best to click on the "sliders" icon beneath any pad which launches a fuller edit window.

However, each of these can actually house two sound sources which, while triggered "as one," can benefit from plenty of independent parameter control, as we'll soon see. Whereas DrumSpillage provides 16 separate drum pads within which you can use synthesis parameters to design percussive sounds, so Elecktroid provides eight, which lie in the upper section of its main page. Despite this, it costs less than DrumSpillage and is offered via a GUI which is a good deal more attractive and easier to work with.

Whereas DrumSpillage bases its rhythmic foundations on comprehensive drum synthesis techniques, so Elecktroid is a fully-fledged drum machine, with synthesis, sample-playback and sequencing capabilities all contained within.

If DrumSpillage wasn't enough to tempt you to check out AudioSpillage's wares, Elecktroid may prove harder to resist if you're a Mac user.

Despite some gentle misgivings about the darkness of the GUI, I hugely enjoyed the flexibility DrumSpillage provided and it's one of a number of software drum synthesizers enjoying popularity now. AudioSpillage may remain a company name with which you're unfamiliar but if it does ring a bell, it may be because you were persuaded to try DrumSpillage, the Mac-only drum plug-in which I reviewed in May 2011.
