Audio Damage Tattoo v1.2.0 is a Windows drum synthesizer and pattern sequencer for electronic music producers who want to build beats from synthesis rather than samples. Its twelve dedicated drum voices draw inspiration from classic X0X analog machines, using Audio Damage’s D-Plane synthesis to offer a varied range of percussion sounds.
Beyond basic step programming, Tattoo gives every sound parameter its own modulation sequencer. This lets you shape changing timbres throughout a pattern, while randomization options can introduce anything from occasional ghost notes to unpredictable rhythmic variations. Patterns can follow host timing, run internally, or advance through MIDI notes to accommodate unusual meters and groove templates.
MIDI learn and MIDI pattern switching support hands-on control, and you can trigger the drum voices directly without relying on the internal sequencer. The VST version also sends generated notes, including randomized events, to other instruments when your DAW supports plug-in MIDI routing. Six stereo audio outputs provide mixing flexibility, with a modified Kombinat one-knob compressor on the first bus for added compression. Tattoo suits hobby producers exploring detailed drum programming in Windows hosts such as FL Studio and Ableton Live.
