Guitar Gear Forum

Just wanted to see if any of you know of some really good gritty synth plugins and electronic drums programs for heavy industrial stuff?

Whatever synth is in the DAW + distortion plugins. And if I feel particularly gnar, chorus, delay, and a cab simulator to make it smack in the proper depths of the mix.

I have Reaper and I played around with some distortion effects on the native instruments Kontact factory selection Jazz Organ last night and they sounded like total bullshit. But I didn't really look thoroughly through the effects list. I have the native instruments Monarch Synth plug in. That shit is pretty dope with some real grit and grain. I haven't tried the Reaper synths.

Just seeing what guys do. My obsession with KMFDM has me wanting to learn how to blend raunchy synths with heavy guitars.

I have the Arturia V Collection. You can tweak the hell out of these. I haven't used it a ton yet but mixing it with effects and amps can get some wicked sounds:

For drums i use Superior Drummer 2. For industrial drums i'm not sure how that main program would work for you but they have a bunch of genre specific setups and i'd assume that one is out there somewhere too.

Thanks for the recommendation man!

I would think that most drum VST/AU plug in's would be fine. I would think eq/post effect add on's would make the drums have the feel you want.

Yeah I got a lot to learn. I've been spending a lot more time at home with creating "exercise" tracks with layering instruments in Reaper. I've bought a few plugins and I'm finally starting to make good use of them and learning how the fuck to use it all.
