http://www.dskmusic.com/blog/?p=105 Basically a vintage drum machine ROMpler. Very light on your CPU, easy to use. NO CHOICES TO MAKE. I use it to sketch out drum parts before I assign final drum sounds - or not, as the case may be. I can't vouch for the versimilitude of the drum kits, having not owned all the machines in question. But they sound good. (In version 1, the levels were too low).

MiniDrumZ (along with one or two other DSKs) seemed really quiet and needed real pumping up to fit them into a mix.

Make sure you get 2WarpDelay, too. (My fave) http://dsp.mutagene.net/?pid=projects It makes crazy feedback.

What I have noticed is that each plug in on that page is already set up for a distinct output and not all plug ins are set up for the same output or more precisely, the one I have set up for my project. Some of the plug ins bring a message when I try to use them that there won't be any output because another output was expected. Of course I can change the output of the project to match the plug in, but that seems a bit back asswards. Any way to change the output of the plug in? Most seem to be just .dll files. Be easy on me now, just getting started. Remember how that was?

The plug-ins that return that kind of message are USUALLY older VST plug-ins with mono output that do not adhere to the new VST 2.0 format. But the DSK plug-ins may have a different kind of problem I haven't had any problems with the DSK synths.
I do like this...a very useful tool for a quick drumset to write with. Some of the machines emulated here bring back memories..

Some of these work in older versions of Cubase, so if you have one running like I do (3.75), don't get rid of them - move them over to the old version.
