UN/T-01

UN/T-01 is a free drum machine with two engines. Each of its six tracks is a synthesized 808 voice or a sample player, and you can load your own samples.

The 808 voices are synthesized the way the original circuits work. Then I added the things the original doesn't have.

What's New Compared to the Original

• Tune and Decay on almost every voice: also on the snare, clap and cowbell, which have neither on the original.
• Longer decays: the snare can ring far longer than the hardware ever could.
• Tone on the hi-hats, to make them darker or brighter.
• Velocity on every step, instead of the original's single accent level.
• Swing, which the original never had.
• Samples on any track, including your own.
• Effects built in: distortion, reverb, a compressor and a limiter.

Samples

• Included: four sets, called Slam, Cushion, Grime and Session.
• Your own: load any WAV, AIFF or FLAC up to 30 seconds on any track.
• Per track: every track has its own SYNTH / SAMPLE switch.

Tracks and Controls

• 6 Tracks: BD, SD, HH, PERC, TOM and CY.
• PERC: clap, rimshot, claves, cowbell or maracas. TOM: toms or congas.
• Per track: Tune, Decay, Level, Dist and Reverb sends, Mute, Solo and Choke. Tone on BD, SD, HH and CY, and Snappy on the snare.
• Master: lowpass filter, compressor and a brickwall limiter.
• Multi out: every track on its own output (VST3, CLAP, AU).

Sequencer

• Steps: 16, or 32 over two pages, with velocity and decay per step.
• Polymeter: every track has its own length, 1 to 32 steps.
• Groove: swing and step speed for the whole pattern.
• Euclid: set hits, length and rotate.
• Editing: copy and paste. Randomize works on the parts you pick.
• Timing: sample-accurate at any tempo and buffer size.

Presets

• 48 presets: Init is the plain 808 kit. The other 47 are genre kits, from electro and Miami bass to boom bap, trap, house, techno, UK garage, amapiano and D&B.
• Saving: kit and pattern are saved in presets and in your DAW project, including your own samples.

Sync

• In a DAW: follows play, stop, tempo, position and loops.
• Standalone: runs on its own clock.

Formats

• iOS: AUv3 plugin and standalone app for iPhone and iPad. iOS 15 or later.
• Mac: VST3, AU, CLAP and standalone app. macOS 12 or later, Apple silicon and Intel.
• Windows: VST3, CLAP and standalone app. 64-bit.
