Favorite pitch shifter and/or 80s type drum machine?

Hello!

first time poster here.

been loving AUM and creating really strange/groovy loops in it for my band. i’m sort of into old broken computer/aphex twin type sounds and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good gritty drum machine or pitch shifter. thanks lots

I add Fabfilter Saturn to almost everything for grit. Put that after something like Hammerhead drums and you’re rockin. also for gritty drum machines, although not an audio unit, the Tokyo gadget in Korg Gadget sounds real dirty for me. I can get some mean skinny puppy trashy sounds from it

Eventide has great effects too, like Crushstation and MicroPitch

For crazy aphex twin stuff I have to rely on external drum machine tho, cuz it gets too …uhh …’involved(?)’ for me to rely on my iPad

Might be worth checking out Ruismaker Noir for drum grittiness, too.

LINNDRUM samples. The ultimate 80s bar none. Excellent crunch to them cause the original samples used for the eproms were 12-bit.
