The 909 still sounds excellent

The classic 909 sounds have reverberated over the decades in dance and techno, remaining relevant to this day. Drumazon sets a benchmark for faithful emulation in the digital domain.

Sounds great, out-of-the-box

The original 909 sounds a bit dry and requires extra processing for the audio to truly bloom but Drumazon’s effect chain is fully equipped to provide the right flavor, out-of-the-box.

Drum programming? A breeze

A broad feature set and expressiveness make drum programming an inspiring and easy experience.

Overview

You get the classic sound, but with extras that will surely meet expectations – both for purists and producers after a modern punchy attitude.

The 11 drum sounds that have shaped electronic dance music

Drumazon emulates all the sounds of the original 909, matching each individual instrument with meticulous accuracy.

A dedicated channel strip for every drum sound

With EQ and compression per instrument, you can quickly perfect the original 909 sound. We’ve also included factory presets for each instrument to put together a great sounding kit without any fuss.

Two bus effect chains with lots of different algorithms

Get the exact sound; add grit with a bitcrusher or distortion, control space with reverb or delay, and fatten your sound with chorus; mix everything together nicely using dynamics and EQ algorithms. All these can be also used creatively with the addition of a filter - the possibilities are endless.

Final touches are so crucial

A capable master section will give the final punch to your drum line with a 3-band compressor to glue everything together and a limiter to control and add power to the output. Ready-to-use master presets can get the desired results ASAP.

Trigger outs

The original machines featured analog trigger outputs to control external gear using the internal sequencer. Producers often used this output musically, adding a trademark short pulse sound that became a hallmark of electro music, a sound you can get with Drumazon too.
