DRIFT 004

DRIFT 004 is a monstrous splurge of the low sloppy pulse of Haxan Cloak/Bobby Krlic, Ben Frost and Jóhann Jóhannsson, but it also a fantastic source of exotic leads, organic pads and weird keyboards like no other.

This is the FOURTH instalment of the DRIFT series of instruments.

Simple at the front, complex behind the curtain. The business end is just 4 large knobs: Grist, ADSR, Morph and Space combine multiple functions for uncomplicated and intuitive sound design. A minimal interface beneath which lurks a maximalists desire to warp, bend and squash millions of new sounds into the aether.

THE SOUNDS.

6Gb of deep hybrid sounds teased analogue, digital and acoustic sources
Long evolving samples of every note, multiple velocity layers and unlikely happenings - mod wheel always does something interesting.

EMS VC3, Moog Voyager + Dfam, Waldorf XT, Novation Summit, lots of modular kit inc RJK Vector Wave, Nord G2, lots of pedals, a broken double bass, Hohner Bass, Hammond B3 organ + Leslie, 303 Devil fish clone...

New features for DRIFT 004...

POLYPHONIC/MONO/LEGATO mode - with portamento and super detuned girth.

Two bipolar ducking modulators that wrangle a single low note into a swelling, writhing behemoth of filthy beat-synced undertow. Tiny changes in depth and pulse width make subtle organic changes, and tempo automation brings pulses to life.
