After developing its latest generation of cutting-edge analog circuitry under the umbrella of sister company Pittsburgh Modular, Cre8audio deployed these drum circuits in Boom Chick — a galvanizing, 5-voice drum machine that effortlessly melds studio- and stage-oriented workflows. With Boom Chick, the time-tested character of analog warmth meets modern production needs, thanks to its impressive array of connectivity, including full MIDI implementation, total standalone operation, onboard CV (control voltage) jacks, and a 40HP Eurorack-compatible form factor. Boom Chick’s 6-channel, 64-step sequencer is joined by a slew of randomization, probability, roll, and polyrhythm possibilities, while its generative-rhythm tools — including a Euclidean pattern generator — lay the groundwork for limitless analog-percussion exploration, thoroughly enamoring Sweetwater’s producers with its flexible yet ferocious drum-design palette. With Boom Chick’s intuitive and inspiring interface, Cre8audio gives you everything you need to rev up your setup — and we’re only scratching the surface.


Note: This drum machine uses a 3.5mm TRS Type A MIDI connection. An adapter for 5-pin DIN cables is included. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer with any questions or concerns regarding compatibility or use with your setup.


Across its 5-voice architecture, Boom Chick supplies your sonic suite with explosive drums and diverse sound-design capabilities, coated in the gleaming, gritty hues of Cre8audio’s pure-analog palette. Every voice — Kick, Snare, Drum 1, Drum 2, and Hats — is endowed with individuated sets of controls; the Drum 1 and Drum 2 voices have sweepable, FM (frequency modulation) pitch-manipulation options, each with four dedicated waveforms that can be further treated to waveshaping and FM Depth attenuation.



Moreover, each voice can be individually programmed with distinct track lengths, allowing you to craft dynamic, undulating sequences of polyrhythmic percussion. Because of Boom Chick’s versatile connections, every parameter can be controlled and automated via MIDI, expanding your capacity to shape and sculpt a deluge of drums in real time or programmed for your performance. Similarly, Eurorack, DAW-less, and other MIDI-free arrangements accommodate Clock, Reset, per-voice trigger input, and per-voice drum output connections via CV. With both its built-in sequence generator and Euclidean pattern generator, Cre8audio’s Boom Chick provides limitless opportunities to explore and inspire your sound.


One of Cre8audio’s design hallmarks is its 1-knob-per-function interface, accompanied by a thoughtful color-coded design and high-contrast presentation, all of which ensures you can get straight to Boom Chick’s plethora of pliable, percussive potential — no menu diving or convoluted configurations! And every knob is designed with both detail and hands-on music making in mind, supporting ultra-precise sound shaping with satisfying tactility. This is especially important with Boom Chick, thanks to Cre8audio’s decision to include two distinctive ways to play: Step Mode and Live Mode.



When you want to use Boom Chick as a studio tool, Step Mode is your arena for deep, step-by-step beat weaving. Live Mode, on the other hand, is designed to thrive in performance settings, from MIDI- and CV-controlled jams to main-stage madness, tweaking and turning knobs with in-the-moment affect that’s augmented by Boom Chick’s per-voice mutes. No matter where and how you play, the included 64 user-preset slots will make it painless to navigate and recall your meticulously crafted rhythms and sequences.


Six channels of 64-step sequencing and a 16-song memory comprise an undoubtedly impressive arsenal, but Cre8audio built Boom Chick to be so much more than just a large-memory drum machine. Dedicated per-step and per-voice controls run the gamut of high-precision drum design, expanding its immense aural aperture of sequence generation, Euclidian pattern generation, and polyrhythm-crafting tools. Swing, Quantize, and Humanize functions can be fine-tuned and applied to each step or a full sequence to give your grooves as much natural or super-human feel as you need. Going further, Cre8audio included multiple methods of wielding randomization and probability functions, including Chance and Roll options that give programmed and live-performed sequences near-endless options for dynamic, unpredictable drums.
