FUJI Drum AUv3

A drum machine cut from light. FUJI renders a shader, gives each of its sixteen pads a different band of the same moving image, and turns what that band sees into a drum. The sky is your hats, the horizon your snare, the ground your kick. Change the picture and the whole kit changes with it. Under the picture is a complete, serious drum machine. EVERY PAD IS A DRUM SYNTH • Three ways to read the image: BODY plays it as a wavetable, SCAN plays the pixels as a waveform, SPECTRAL reads it as a spectrogram • 26 knobs per pad: pitch envelope, sub, snap transient, zero-delay-feedback filter with its own envelope, drive, crush, shape • Per-pad delay and reverb sends, choke groups, and four sidechain buses so the kick can duck the rest • Load your own sample onto any pad and shape it with the same controls THE DICE • Nine genres: 80s Miami, 90s Acid, Boom Bap, Trap, Jungle, Warehouse, Lo-Fi Tape, Industrial, Ambient • A style isn't a preset: it sets the range every value is drawn from, so two rolls of 90s Acid are two different kits that both sound like 90s Acid • It picks the picture, the palette, the tempo and the swing to match • The pattern dice plays the style's signature beat, varied every roll • Freeze any pad and it survives every roll • 91 factory kits to start from, and endless ones from there THE SEQUENCER • 64 patterns of up to 64 steps, each with its own length • Parameter locks, 2/4/8 ratchets, velocity and probability on every step • Record live from the pads, snapped to the grid • Switch patterns mid-play and the change lands on the bar SONG MODE • Paint the arrangement: rows are patterns, columns are slots, and repeating a pattern is painting it wider • 64 slots, played on the bar, in time with your DAW or Ableton Link PLAYED, NOT DIALLED IN • A Kaoss-style XY pad on the whole mix: filter, stutter, crush, gate, delay, space • Draw a path on it and the effect walks it in time with the beat • Fullscreen, with the pattern bank under your other hand • Master rack: tape, flutter, lo-fi, shape, chorus, delay and reverb SHAPE THE SOUND WITH LIGHT • Two shaders, blended: morph the entire kit from one picture into another • 33 color palettes that change the tone, not just the look • A stackable VFX chain that reshapes the pixels every pad reads BUILT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW • AUv3 plug-in AND standalone app, on iPhone, iPad and Mac • Follows your DAW's tempo and transport; pad and master knobs record as automation • Pattern out as MIDI, or export any pattern as a .mid file • MIDI Learn on nearly every control, plus presets for 20 controllers • Ableton Link in the standalone app • Projects save the kit and the pattern bank together, synced over iCloud • Three themes, including SUMI: black ink on washi, every knob drawn by hand • Optional on Mac: let an AI agent drive FUJI over a local connection. Off by default, and nothing leaves your Mac
