Hard-Hitting Tekno
Baby Audio promises to bring drum synthesis into a new era
11 September 2025
Known for their expanding range of critically acclaimed instruments and effects, Baby Audio brings drum synthesis into a new era with Tekno. Combining the best of both analog and digital, Tekno sets the bar for the hardest-hitting synthesized drums ever put in a plugin.
The Heaviest Synthesized Drums Ever
Tekno’s 18 entirely synthesized drum engines combine authentic circuit-modelling, advanced synthesis and classic drum machine techniques to offer producers deep and powerful drums with total flexibility.
Envisioned as a spiritual successor to the iconic drum machines that shaped music culture, Tekno is not an emulation of any hardware unit from the past, but rather an evolution of the underlying technology.
The End of Sample Dependence
As a synthesizer containing no pre-recorded audio of any kind, each hit that Tekno produces is unique. With complex non-linearities from its modelled analogue circuits and engaging variation from its Humanize features, Tekno’s evolving subtleties make tracks come alive as samples never could.
Exceptionally tweakable, Tekno offers fast and flexible sound design with optional fine-tuning down to the individual components of the modeled circuits. And with the best ever edition of Baby Audio’s smart preset randomizer, producers can instantly generate fresh, release-ready drums that have never been heard before.
Loaded with powerful effects created in collaboration with Jatin Chowdhury, Tekno’s power and range make it ideal for any genre where massive, modern drums are required.
Tekno launches with 73 custom kit presets from producers including Mr. Bill, Richard Devine, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo.
