Critic Reviews

Future Retro has released Transient, their first Eurorack drum module.

futuremusic.com

The Future Retro Transient drum module showcases impressive versatility with over 400 samples and extensive modulation capabilities, tempting many modular synth enthusiasts. However, while it aims to deliver an authentic drum sound, its complex architecture and sample playback may overwhelm those seeking a straightforward interface. Additionally, the price point of $199 raises questions about value, especially for users who prefer traditional drum machines. This product is a mixed bag; it excites with its innovative approach but falters in user-friendliness and perceived worth.
