Third Harmonic Studios has released EXD-80, a freeware virtual analog drum synthesizer instrument in VSTi plugin format for Windows.
EXD-80 is a flexible drum synth that can produce a wide variety of drum and percussion sounds, from emulations of classic drum machines to crazy, mangled glitch sounds – all synthesized, no samples here!
EXD-80 is available for free download via Third Harmonic Studios (4.07MB download size, 32-bit VSTi plugin format for Windows).
The plugin is based on subtractive synthesis and there are no samples inside. It can be used for re-creating classic drum machine sounds, as well as creating new and unique glitched-out sounds and noises.
According to the developers it can cover a range of genres from house and techno to glitch and hip hop. I’ve included an audio demo below and you can take a look at the demo video on YouTube (click to open in new tab).
