"Wanna get some harsh, noisy beats? Give your FM synth a try! Ableton's Operator is one of my fave FM hybrid soft synths. It's a great tool to generate drums you've never heard in your life! The new version in Live 8 has got user waves for the oscillators and a bunch of new filters. It's a hella fun to play with!"

MPC electronics DSM-8+ analog drum module

via this auction

"This is a high-quality drum voice made by M.P.C. electronics of Cambridge, England, makers of "THE KIT" drum machine.

The unit also includes a simple pitch sequencer that lets you create variations in pitch with each trigger sent, for tom parts or more complex or experimental sounds.

The unit takes standard drum machine triggers, It's been tested with a Tr-808 and works perfect.

Sequencer functions are :
Beats/step : (1 to 4)
No. of steps (1 to 16)
Mode (4 diff pitch patterns)
Auto-reset (on-off)

Drum voice functions are :
Input sensitivity
Decay
Bend
Pitch
Mix
Tom/Bass or snare switch
Noise
Click
Level

Back functions :
Reset + hold (for sequencer)
Pad input + trigger input
Accent adjust
Output

The unit is very high-fi sounding for analog, the envelope is fast and it's easy to create punchy percussion sounds like kicks, snare, hi-hats claps toms etc etc.

I had a power supply made especially for it as it usually requires the DSM-1, which I don't have."

Synare Drum Sensor

"I’m assuming the unit was designed to clamp onto your drum rim (there’s a clamp right on there) and when you hit your drum, the unit senses the hit and sends its cool 1980’s synth sound out to an amplifier."
