Sonicware CyDrums
Sonicware CyDrums – compact groovebox with 4D drum synthesis, 8-track sequencer, 22 sound structures and 520 preset patches
The Sonicware CyDrums is a unique drum machine and groovebox that redefines beat production through its 4D drum synthesis engine – combining wavetables with velocity and pressure modulation. With 64 original wavetables and 22 custom sound structures for each type of percussion instrument, CyDrums delivers dynamic, expressive and constantly evolving drum tones unlike any other. Whether you're layering glitchy noise, sculpting punchy kicks, or morphing snares into drones – this box is a true playground for sonic experimentation.
Featuring a powerful 8-track, 128-step sequencer with real-time recording, microtiming, pattern chaining, generative modes and probability controls, CyDrums excels in both live performance and studio composition. Extensive effects routing includes 22 insert effects, master FX and flexible routing options via an internal FX BUS. Seamless integration is ensured thanks to USB audio/MIDI, 5-pin MIDI, analog ins/outs, and AudioSync. With battery operation, built-in speaker, and a compact design, it's ready for music creation anytime, anywhere.
