drift free - bad pianos
I know you've already got hundreds of 'proper' pianos, that sound like proper pianos and behave like proper pianos, but you haven't got anything as improper as BAD PIANOS.
This is a wonky piano that oozes character and wrongness, but is still a joy to play and can make piano noises that sound like no other piano.
And it's free, so what have you got to lose ?
...but you can take it up a notch!
The free version of BAD PIANOS exploits the fluidity of the DRIFT engine and encourages you to twist and morph a cosmos of new sounds.
The 60REWIRES upgrade goes further and adds 60 themed snapshots that tamper with the basic DNA of BAD PIANOS to reconfigure the architecture and create even more unlikely and very usable piano textures. From Tom Waits to Disintegration Loops to My Bloody Valentine via Mrs Mills every one of the 60REWIRES has something different going on under the surface for uncharted levels of bad/goodness.

DRIFT ?
A minimal interface beneath which lurks a maximalists desire to warp, bend and squash millions of new sounds into the aether.
Simple at the front, complex behind the curtain. The business end is just 4 large knobs: Grist, ADSR, Morph and Space combine multiple functions for uncomplicated and intuitive sound design.
Stack together instruments from across the DRIFT range for monstrous modular hybrid sounds.
