Rave Generation: BDX-909

The BDX-909 is an excellent emulator of the iconic TR-909 kick drum, and it delivers on every level. I compared it directly with the original TR-909, and the results are impressively close, the punch, warmth, and weight are all there. It captures that classic sound while also giving you modern flexibility.

What really sets it apart are the features and automation options. Unlike the hardware, you can dive deep into shaping the kick, automate parameters, and push it into completely new territories. From deep, booming subs to tight, punchy kicks, the range is fantastic and versatile across genres like techno, house, hardcore, and more.

For producers, this is not just an emulator, it’s a creative instrument. The workflow is smooth, the interface is intuitive, and it offers the best of both worlds:
the authenticity of the original and the convenience of software.

Verdict: A very good emulator with powerful features and automation. After comparing it with the TR-909, I can say it’s an outstanding tool for serious music production.

goede basis klinkt super goed zeker een aanrader

Rave Generation does it again, as this is one of the best emulations if you want a 909 bass drum. The sub's controllability and attack are just what any dance producer would want. The idea that the sub follows the keyboard's pitch is also very handy, which is very popular these days in the harder dance genre. Add a saturation plugin after this one, and you'll get the coolest bass drums. I'm a fan, and I highly recommend it. You should definitely give it a try.

Great stuff💪🏻🪏
