 Create thick and punchy drum tracks with these plugins

 
 
  Drum Plugins  

Great price: Only $99 for all 5 drum plugins including all soundpacks. See below.

Our drum plugins come in 5 different versions:

  • Acoustic Kits
  • Ambient Kits
  • Electronic Kits
  • Attack Kits and
  • Common Kits
Each version contains the same plugin engine, but different samples and different kits, which have been adapted for each style (acoustic drum sounds, ambient drum sounds, electronic drums and drums which have a hard/driving attack).

They are sold in an affordable bundle together with an incredible sound library: 15 soundpacks (3 for each plugin). With these drum plugins you'll get access to thousands of drum sounds, 5120 presets and hundreds of kits, plus a search application.

The plugins are bundled with a drum search application, which makes it possible for you to search and replace the samples in the plugins' drum kits.

At the moment, they're available for Windows/VST only. However, we're working on a Mac OS X version.

You get:

  • 5 drum plug-ins with synth functions, such as filters, envelopes, effects etc.
  • 600 kits, thousands of samples and 5000+ presets.
  • Ordinary .wav files which you may use in your sampler.
  • A drum search application.

You may download FREE SAMPLES (individual drum samples, not loops) from these drum plugins at our download pages here.

Search

There are 12 pads in each drum kit. When you click on the button which is located in the middle of the 12 pads, the search application is launched and you may search for samples in your own sample libraries (if you have any) or in the library of samples which we have included for you. You may use this application as a stand alone tool as well, for searching your drum sample libraries.


Once you have found samples you like, you may use them in some of the predefined drum kits, in the plugin. So although we are proud over the drum kits we have already created for you, there are ways to make them exactly the way you want by replacing samples with your favourite ones and building your own kits.

Comprehensive drum sample library included

Included is an impressive drum library which contains a number of different drum sounds, snares, kicks, toms, cymbals, synthetic drums etc. Each of the drum plugins focuses on a certain style. However, these plugins feature a traditional synth architecture so the presets contain a variety of sound styles.

Each drum kit contains drum sounds from the library, which have been assigned to the 12 pads. The drum kits can be replaced though, either with your own samples or with ones that are included.

Powerful synth section

The plugins actually double as powerful sample players with synth functions, tailor made for drums. They feature resonant filters so you can create a variety of drums with them. And they include traditional filter and amp envelopes, a pitch LFO and other things you should expect from a powerful synth engine. But wait, there's even more...

Effects

The drum plugins feature integrated effects. For example, you may apply a slow resonator which moves the sound in a tasteful way. Or add a sub oscillator for that extra punch. Or use the pitch shifter for weird effects. In fact, the effect section includes 130 different effect algorithms, including our unique filter banks. On top of that you may apply delay and ensemble effects.

Easy Selection of Samples

The search application can search for particular drum sound types, e.g. snares or cymbals. You can supply your own text string to use for searching on file names. With the search application you can also adjust panning, volume and tuning before the sound is included in a drum kit. You can use your own samples in the kits as well and the search application can search your own sample folders.

Velocity

The plugins are velocity sensitive and you may assign velocity to either volume or filter cutoff. But you can also switch off velocity entirely, useful if you want to reduce the dynamics of the drums without applying a compressor.

Analog style filter

The filter in these plugins is a resonant fourth order lowpass filter which has a smooth sound, reminiscent of old analog filters. It can be programmed with an envelope section.

A demo of one of these drum plugins (Ambient Kits) is available here.

The demo contains only a few samples though and the demo has to be removed from your plugin rack and inserted again after 3 minutes of usage. This limitation is of course removed when you buy the full version. The purpose of the demo is to make it possible for you to try the plugin's performance and check out the look and feel. The plugin includes a PDF manual.

The total download size is around 450 MB for all the drum plugins and all their soundpacks.
