The second smile was courtesy of the sound. Whilst this kind of interface has been done before, Audio Spillage’s implementation is leaner, cleaner and therefore more immediate than others. It’s a wonderfully simple way of connecting real-world controller with virtual response, and it makes programming Drum Spillage 2 a doddle as you never get lost: you always see what is playing where. Hit some keys from C1 upwards and waveforms pop up on the corresponding pad. There are 16 pads arranged in a four-by-four grid. Like Apple with iOS 7, Audio Spillage have eschewed the dreaded skeuomorphic design that infects many plug-ins, and instead, present the user with a beautifully spartan and utilitarian graphical interface. The first thing that made me smile about Drum Spillage 2 is its aesthetic. Perhaps a drum synthesizer, albeit running as software rather than an unruly clump of wires, gets closer to the spirit of these machines than static samples? Drum & Drummer Remember, too, that a fair number of classic drum machines, like the TR808 and CR78, used totally synthesized sounds.
But if, like me, you miss Waldorf’s Attack and you like to roll your own sounds, Drum Spillage 2 is definitely of interest. If you’re after a vintage Linn, DMX or other sample-based beat machine, this is not the droid you’re looking for. Where it differs from the Steven Slate Drums of this world is in its proud emphasis on synthesized drum sounds.

Drum Spillage 2 lets you get down and dirty with synthesized drum sounds.Īudio Spillage’s Drum Spillage 2 is the (surprise!) second version of their Audio Units-format synthetic percussion plug-in for Mac OS X.
