Punch-2 is an advanced drum machine that combines drum synthesis and sample playback with a built-in pattern sequencer, enabling quick and creative beat production. Building on the success of its predecessor, it introduces additional drum synthesis models and a redesigned main interface that lets users craft unique drum kits with ease. This fresh approach maintains the powerful rhythmic foundation while enhancing workflow and sound design capabilities.

The latest version significantly expands its sound-shaping options and interface features. Users can import REX files and samples, mapping slices to individual pads for intricate loop creation and manipulation. These slices can be processed with filters, envelopes, and routed through four built-in effects modules, including granular synthesis, offering new dimensions of sonic experimentation. Punch-2’s pattern sequencer seamlessly integrates these elements, allowing for complex and dynamic beat arrangements.

Punch-2 also features a comprehensive master section with EQ, compressor, limiter, and stereo/mono split filters, along with a layout mixer to polish your final sound. It ships with a large library of ready-to-use sounds that fit various musical styles, ensuring immediate inspiration for producers. Additionally, Punch-2 includes Punch-BD, enhancing its core drum synthesis capabilities and making it a complete solution for drum programming.
