Backbone, tagged as ‘drum re-synthesizer’ is a new sample-based VST from DAW stalwarts Steinberg. Its primary remit is the creation of single drum sounds from basic audio content, but if you read that and assumed that this is just another way of layering sounds to create something new, think again. As well as the more obvious sample-stacking capabilities, Backbone uses a number of more unusual techniques such as re-synthesis and ‘decomposition’ for further sonic exploration and manipulation.
Any user of Steinberg’s Halion or Groove Agent line of products will be familiar with the interface, which consists of multiple modules with sub-pages. The main window size can be adjusted, though font-size (and overall legibility) is not altered unless you’re using a HiDPI setup, which is somewhat frustrating, to be really honest.
