Sampleson launches free VST drum synth called Sub

If you are looking for a new free VST drum instrument, you may want to look no further than Sub, the latest offering from Sampleson.

Sub is an easy-to-use free drum synthesizer which comes in a small download size (~35MB) because all the sounds are synthesized and not stored as samples.

On offer is 18 analogue drum sounds with volume and pan options. While it does not have a sequencer built-in, most people prefer to map their drum lines in MIDI anyway.

Even though Sub is a free VST, there is one requirement before you can download it. It requires you to pass a social share gate, meaning you must share it on one of the main social media platforms.

The control of sounds on it is pretty limited, you get to tune and control the pitch and decay of your kick, and the tone of your snare, two of the most important features needed for a good drum instrument.

You also get to control the click and sub volume of the kick, as well as the pitch of 6 tuned toms/congas.

For a free drum VST, all of the limitations are expected, and in the end, it is another great instrument to add to the collection!

It is available on Sampleson’s website for download
