Whatever your other opinions of the synth, I think many might feel that it lacks percussive elements. Other than Bad Hat, Random Hats, Clap or Snare and Snare and Snare 2, are there any other patches that people have had any luck twisting into anything that sounds like a drum kit? Maybe I am missing something very obvious here, and there are hundreds of the things lurking in the engines that threaten to fry your CPU as soon as you turn them on. And yes, I could buy a drum machine. But it seems a curious oversight, if that is what it is. Any advice, suggestions or perfectly engineered drum patches welcome! Thanks.

I was just thinking the same thing. Ive been playing with the DWA and GRAINS engines, with the most luck with DWA. I can get some solid techno and house beats with some glitchy goodness here and there. Though nothing very spectacular, they do make for fun jams with friends.
I would love to see PERC brought over to Synth. It’d give more control over those grooves and the toms can be opened up like bass synths so it can be played while holding down a beat on the sequencer. Plus, I think it’s like 5 hits on a single voice. Super versatile for the Synth format, imo.
