A drum synth plugin for Linux, Windows and macOS, built from classic-inspired algorithms and stranger ideas. Twelve drum voices, a proper step sequencer, and plenty of ways to disturb the quiet. The thing that was waking up in the workshop is, it turns out, a drum machine. Nobody is more relieved than the robot.
Six Sixty Six Limited Beta — $0.00 through Stripe, opening soon. Details on page A8.

The specifications we spent last issue redacting, now printed in full. Legal has been informed.
More cowbell is available. It is not the default.
Stylized approximations, built by ear, checked by scope.
Sixteen steps. Considerably more opinions.
Think of it as the room the drums live in, if the room were also a drum.
For when synthesis alone fails to express how you feel.
The robot prefers amber. The robot does not get a vote.
All plates are unretouched captures of the running plugin. Cropping is the only editorializing.
Same knobs, same sound, different wardrobe. Switch whenever the studio lighting changes or your mood does.
Thin glowing arcs, outlined panels, a live scope line. Modern, quiet, easy on the eyes at 2 a.m.
Solid knobs, pixel lettering, CRT bloom. For people who miss hardware that hummed.
Choose by mood, by studio lighting, or by which one makes the kick sound louder. (None of them do. It feels like they do.) The design is user-themeable, so an eighth is up to you.
No countdown, no invented seat numbers. We will close it when we run out of ears.
The limited beta opens soon. Email us and we'll tell you when it does.
Bug reports, feedback, press, questions, and mistaken-identity complaints are all welcome. Response time is about one business day, give or take the odd power cycle.
Dear Robot,
The cowbell is too loud. Please also make it louder.
