Tapechild UDS-16 gives producers 16 synthesized drum voices without sample playback. Four engines handle the sound generation. UDS-1987 and UDS-1988 draw from Lel UDS circuitry, while ROKTON takes cues from Formanta Rockton. Tapechild created the fourth model for designing drums from scratch.
Each voice splits tone and noise into separate layers with individual attack and decay controls. Users can shape pitch movement, PUNCH, PITCH TIME, MATERIAL, DRIVE, and a resonant Click control. Tape saturation adds harmonics, pitch drift, and tonal shaping, while gated reverb handles Size, Hold, and Mix. Different engines can share one kit.
UDS-16 costs $49 and works on macOS and Windows. Mac users get VST3, Audio Unit, standalone operation, and Universal 2 support for Apple Silicon and Intel. Windows gets VST3 and standalone formats. One license covers three computers, works online or offline, skips iLok and hardware dongles, and receives free UDS-16 updates.
