Baby Audio has released Tekno V1.1, a major update with a new onboard sequencer.
Originally released in September of 2025, Baby Audio’s Tekno became known for its analogue-style drum synthesis, gaining praise in particular for its authentic circuit-modelling and expansive sound design possibilities.
Based on ongoing dialogue with the user community, Baby Audio now introduces Tekno V1.1, a comprehensive update with a long list of enhancements, including the most requested feature: an onboard sequencer.
Tekno’s new sequencer view provides producers with a beat creation environment directly inside the plugin. With dedicated lanes for all 18 voices and up to 32 steps per lane, the sequencer offers creative features like smart randomisation, shortenable lanes for polyrhythms, speed multipliers and hit chance.
Tekno V1.1 includes other major improvements sourced directly from user feedback. With features like global undo/redo, full kit sample export and four available choke groups, the V1.1 update makes Tekno a complete platform for DAW-based drum production.
In addition to the desktop plugin update, Baby Audio has announced an iOS edition of Tekno with full AuV3 support to be released with the V1.1 update on January 8th, 2026.
Tekno V1.1 is available now for $129, with a $79 re-intro sale.
