What it is

RhythmDie is an industrial FM drum synthesizer and polymetric drum machine that builds every hit from scratch using frequency modulation and ring modulation instead of relying on samples. It runs 16 fully independent synthesis voices, each with its own envelopes, resonant filter, distortion, and compression, so drums range from clean electronic kicks to harsh metallic hits and abstract textures. A built-in sampler mode also lets you load your own one-shots and run them through the same synthesis and effects chain.

Who it's for

Producers working in industrial, EBM, dark electro, techno, and IDM will get the most out of RhythmDie, along with anyone doing experimental glitch work, cinematic sound design, or game and film audio that needs drums with more character than stock samples.

Key features

• A 16-channel polymetric step sequencer with up to 32 steps per lane lets each drum voice run its own pattern length, with velocity, probability, swing, and host tempo sync built in
• Every voice has its own modulation matrix (LFO, velocity, random, pitch, FM depth, and more) for percussion that keeps evolving instead of repeating
• Dual-oscillator FM synthesis paired with ring modulation and four distortion algorithms covers everything from mechanical impacts to bell-like strikes
• A full MIDI workflow, including note mapping, pattern export, and automation across more than 550 parameters, makes it easy to drop into any DAW setup
