Drum Re-synthesizer

A revolutionary way to design your own drums

Backbone is your new, innovative drum designer for single kicks, snares, hi-hats, percussion, rises, hits and more. Layer up to eight samples and shape them with classic subtractive synthesis, decompose samples into tonal and noise elements, re-synthesize samples to manipulate them in unheard ways and apply up to eight effects with two fully routable buses — all with a slick, extremely fast interface. Backbone takes your drums into a whole new era of sound design — the era of drum re-synthesis!

    "Backbone is more than just an instrument. For me, this is a sound design tool with endless possibilities. This instrument opens the door to bring my sound design to the next level. The interface is very clean and simple to navigate. Instead of spending time on learning new instruments, I was able to focus on the sound designing. Dragging my own samples directly from the session into Backbone and after finishing the sound design dragging directly back to the session is very convenient and one of the many reasons I have added Backbone to my template."
