Ideas for a good name?

edited March 2013 in General
There is a last unsolved problem on my way to release the drumsynth.
I need a good name. I have some ideas already, but nothing where I'd say "yesss! that's it!"

so - anybody got a good idea?

    Schrittmacher

    for a German touch ;)
    A picture with the default enclosure may bring inspiration...
  • hum, because th brand is sonic potions : all your product (this one and the others :D ) must be a potion name.
    So maybe something like
    - bubblebeat
    - Glamorbeat
    - Savagedrum
    - beat them all

    ...

    call it a competition?  free pioneer pack as prize for successful naming?  I've been up all night revising so here is a brainsplurge or sorry brainstorm... no sifting by me, just pure stream of consciousness:
    BoomTron/Boomtronic/DrumTronic etc
    Bangatron/BamTron
    Trommeltron 
    Perkatron/Perkussatron
    Polytron
    StepDrum/Drumstepper/Trackstepper
    Sonic Potions D7 (for 7 tracks), or M7
    DM7
    MorphDrum
    Klangtronic/Tonkadrum
    DrumKontrol
    Sonic Potions DrumEngine
    Loopatron, LoopMacher
    Schlingenmacher/Spiralmacher etc googletranslate etc

    Think my favourites would be DM7 or D7 (timeless), DrumKontrol (why not done before!?), MorphDrum (selling point) or Loopatron/BoomTron (bit of fun).  Trommeltron/Perkatron were my best attempts at Germanic since unfortunately it seems Schrittmacher is already taken (expensive MIDI sequencer)

    I think you are going to have a really really quality cult product, don't rush it with the name.  Wait for something you're happy with.  I'm sure you will be selling plenty of these kits.  good luck with the final push...

    having a potion name would be great! or a drink name.
    drum potion, rhythm potion? :-p
    I really like mochito, but thats already trademarked by presonus :(
  • Hm, what about Potion Libre ?
  • Drumtonic, ha ha. No ok I'll drop it - but seriously, on the potions theme, what about Elixir ... The new Sonic Potions ELIXIR Drum Machine...
    Well if we keep them coming Julian you might see one you like ;)
    jk
  • I'm not sure about it, but i think i have heard ELIXIR in use for another product...

  • fairplay over at the synthesizerforum suggested cauldron (or caldron)
    image
    maybe call it cauldrum? ;)

    googled Elixir - apart from a band, a brand of guitar strings and a VST limiting plug-in, it's yours

    on the cauldron note - 

    Crucible

    Sonic Potions' Crucible D7 drum machine,  Rhythm Crucible, etc etc

    .. :)

    Koldrumm / Kaldrumm    ticks potion box and Germanic
  • Sonic Potions MagikDrum
  • Or Absynth...
  • unfortunately that one's a wildly popular VST synth - obviously great minds thinking alike though, keep them coming Lindeborg you must have that commercial edge!
  • yeah. it's a pitty most of the really good names you think of are already taken ;)

  • edited March 2013

  • Ok how about this one - googled it and no-one really making anything comparable using this, it's yours if you want it...

    Philtre / Philter

    n.  1.  A love potion
         2.  A magic potion or charm

    tr.v Philtered, also Philtred - to enchant with or as if with a Philter / Philtre

    Leading to Sonic Potions new PHILTRE drum machine.  Even go shorter - PHILTR

    DrumPhilter  / PhiltreDrum

    What do you reckon boss?

  • wow - never heard of this before.
    always amazing what strange words come up ;)
    I like the Greek version "philtron = love potion" the most

    but i think of a filter box when i hear this. (like the now-discontinued Alesis desktop effects box) :-/

    Allthose names! I gotta sleep over this. Thanks for all the proposals so far!!!

  • edited March 2013
    hmm Philtron is great - see my tron obsession above - but yeah did think that - it is screaming filterbox at me too... anyway don't be shy with the names you have thought up - quite likely one of them is the one & you just need some affirmation!

  • Schnapps then, sorta onomatopoetic, and drinkable, and lethal and deutsch...
  • ja, ich habe gern schnapps!
  • Juliandrum, Drumlian, Bonk, DrmR, LiquidBeat, Bittr, Drumuchino, Drumbuie :)
  • oh we got a connoisseur here! Drumbuie - the potion that brings happyness ;)
  • Sounds good - like a whisky brand ! *:-)*
  • what about serum or sedrum?

    Sonic Potions Bubblesonic Drum Machine!


    Amazingly also seems free - despite the bubblesound modules for modular, a brief scan of google & only other music-related use of Bubblesonic was some  app for phones which crucially is shareware ie don't think there'd be any issues - do it!  Or someone else will nab it soon, shurely...

    jk

    ps I'd be up for a pioneers run too, depending on price & cashflow
