Baby Audio Tekno
Design Hard-Hitting Electronic Drums From Scratch—No Samples Required.
Baby Audio Tekno is a modern drum synthesizer built for producers who want complete control over their electronic drum sounds. Instead of relying on sample libraries, Tekno generates every drum hit from scratch using a combination of analog circuit modeling, FM synthesis, and digital synthesis.
With 18 dedicated drum-synthesis engines covering kicks, snares, hats, toms, claps, percussion, cymbals, and more, Tekno gives you the tools to build custom drum sounds for virtually any electronic music style. Shape every sound at the synthesis level, then use the integrated effects and master processing to create a complete production-ready drum kit.
The latest Tekno 1.1 update adds a powerful built-in sequencer with dedicated lanes, smart randomization, variable lane lengths, chance controls, MIDI export, choke groups, humanization, and additional workflow improvements. The update is free for existing Tekno owners. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Build Your Own Drum Sounds
Tekno gives you deep access to the synthesis parameters behind every drum voice. Adjust pitch, timbre, tone, envelopes, and other dedicated controls to create anything from classic analog-inspired drum machine sounds to aggressive modern electronic percussion.
For producers who want instant inspiration, Tekno’s intelligent randomization can generate new sounds while keeping the results musically useful. You can also lock individual voices when exploring variations so the parts you already like remain unchanged.
Built-In Sequencer
Tekno 1.1 introduces an integrated sequencer designed for fast beat creation and experimentation. Each of the 18 drum voices has its own sequencer lane with up to 32 steps.
- Up to 32 steps per lane
- Dedicated lanes for all 18 voices
- Smart randomization
- Adjustable lane lengths for polyrhythmic patterns
- Playback speed controls
- Per-step chance controls
- Per-voice humanization
- Choke groups
- Freely assignable MIDI mappings
- MIDI pattern export
- Full-kit sample export
These tools make it easy to create evolving rhythms directly inside Tekno and then move your ideas into your DAW for further editing. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Why Use a Drum Synth?
Sample-based drum production can limit you to the recordings contained in a library. Tekno takes a different approach by generating its sounds electronically, allowing you to continuously reshape the underlying synthesis.
This makes it possible to create a drum sound that is completely your own instead of simply selecting another sample. You can build a kick around the exact pitch of a song, design a snare with a specific tonal character, or create percussion that evolves with your production.
