SY-1K Trigger Rhythm is a recreation of a legendary 1980s analog drum ‘synthesizer’, one of the most distinctive and influential electronic drum sounds of the era. From the thunderous toms on Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" to the cutting snares that defined the decade's pop and rock productions, this classic analog character shaped countless iconic recordings.
At its core, SY-1K features the dual CMOS 4069 triangle wave oscillators, authentic filter pole spreading with unequal integrator capacitors, envelope-based pitch sweeping, and characteristic CMOS asymmetries that created the legendary 80s drum sound. Building on this vintage foundation, we've added five modern waveforms, comprehensive LFO modulation with tempo sync, MIDI key tracking, and contemporary drive saturation.
Whether you're seeking the authentic 80s sound or exploring new territories with extended modulation capabilities, SY-1K Trigger Rhythm delivers the warmth, punch, and character that made the original a studio legend. From classic gated reverb drums to modern EDM percussion, from vintage analog warmth to cutting-edge digital precision, SY-1K captures the essence of hardware drum synthesis while offering the convenience and flexibility of modern plugin technology.
