SY-1K Trigger Rhythm is a circuit-level recreation of the Simmons-style drum synthesizer that drove the biggest hits of the 1980s, now rebuilt for today’s DAW workflow. Dual CMOS oscillators, authentic filter pole spreading and envelope sweeps deliver the unmistakable toms, snares and zaps of the original hardware, while five fresh waveforms, bipolar LFOs with host sync and a multi-mode trigger engine push it far beyond vintage limits.
Shape drums with velocity-sensitive pitch dives, random analog variations, drive saturation and chromatic key tracking, or trigger it from audio gates for classic gated-reverb toms. Zero latency, 64-bit processing and rock-solid automation make Trigger Rhythm a performance-ready powerhouse, whether you're chasing retro-pop nostalgia or designing futuristic EDM percussion.
