Tonebuilder has announced the release of the Driven Machine Drums 3 + MD Bundle, a sample library featuring a collection of drum samples for electronic music.

DMD3

DMD3 is the direct follow-up to the popular Driven Machine Drums: STRIKES BACK sample library. DMD3 is bundled with DMDMD and contains 5,159 designer drum samples tailored for all forms of electronic music.

The Driven Machine Drums 3 + M.D. Bundle is the result of a 3-year effort, combining over $57,000 in synthesis and engineering technology.

DMD3 contains samples synthesized from a wide range of sources including modular synthesizers, analog and digital drum machines, and modern physical modeling devices. Each sample was tastefully processed through boutique analog outboard devices, including tubes, transformers, eqs, and compressors.
