ANALOGyKIT Virtual Analog Drum Kit (AUv3) Introduction ANALOGyKIT (“analog-ee kit”) is an AUv3 virtual instrument plugin that can run standalone, or in any AUv3 compatible host such as Logic Pro, GarageBand or AUM. Please note that the standalone version does not include a built-in keyboard - you need to connect a suitable MIDI device to play the synth. Please also note that ANALOGyKIT is not a drum machine, so does not have a built-in pattern sequencer. It has been designed as a virtual drum kit / drum module controlled via MIDI, using a separate sequencer plugin or piano roll in a DAW. ANALOGyKIT currently runs on iOS (iPad & iPhone) and macOS (Intel & Silicon) and is available as a Universal Purchase from the Apple App Store. If you’re planning on using ANALOGyKIT on Mac / desktop, please ensure that your favourite DAW / host supports AUv3 (not just AU). NOTE - ANALOGyKIT uses the same synthesis engine as ANALOGyDR so you can think of ANALOGyKIT as 8 x ANALOGyDR, plus pitch-sweepable oscillators, lo-fi bit-crushing, dedicated per-voice effects and a master / mixer section. Design Overview ANALOGyKIT is an 8 voice virtual analog drum synthesizer, i.e. it does not use samples. The design is based on the sound engines in early analog drum machines for the late 1970’s and early 80’s. Each voice comprises two tuneable pitched oscillators (with sweep), two noise sources and a variable mode filter with envelope. A lo-fi bit-crushing effect can also be applied to each voice independently. All eight voices have their own dedicated tempo-sync delay and reverb with gate effect. The master output section includes an 8 channel stereo mixer and simple one-knob controls for compression, limiting and clipping. Presets ANALOGyKIT comes with factory presets for Kits and individual Drums, and user presets can be saved or loaded using the OS file system browser. New Kits can be generated automatically by combining sounds randomly from existing factory Drum and Kit presets. ## Key features - 8-voice virtual analog drum synthesizer - Sample-free sound generation - Pitch-tunable oscillators with sweep - Variable mode filter with envelope - Per-voice lo-fi bit-crushing effect - Tempo-sync delay and reverb with gate - Master output mixer with compression and limiting ## Recent user reviews (1 of 1) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/analogykit/id6770343050/reviews.md ### 3/5 — Love Rob Jackson’s Apps, But There’s Room For Improvement Here *2026-06-11* When triggering the app using a MIDI keyboard with the app open (to customize the sounds) the sounds triggered don’t correspond to the correct keyboard position. This is a fundamental thing which should be addressed. I need to be able to see exactly which sound is being triggered so I can then adjust it. The standard MIDI Drum Map must be used for this to be useful. Every drum kit/drum machine uses this keyboard based mapping. ## Frequently asked questions about ANALOGyKIT ### What is ANALOGyKIT?
