Leisure Class Audio has announced the release of its first instrument library for Kontakt. Expanding on the original Techstar line of drum synthesizers, TS-30X comes with new features, new drums, and greater flexibility.
The TS-30X Analog Drum Synthesizer is a 9 module drum synthesizer based on the TAMA Techstar TS-305 and TS-306 analog drum synthesizers of the 1980s.
Similar to the Simmons and Pearl units of the time, the Techstar line provided all the glorious synthesized drums one could want in a similar package but with a trademark aggression that set it apart from the others.
TS-30X features
- Redesigned Clap module including decay time, stereo spread, and better overall control.
- Newly created Cymbal 1 & 2 modules which can be choke-linked or independent; they can be used as either Hi-Hats, Crash, Ride, or utilized as additional Tom modules if desired.
