The Ultimate Urban Drum Rompler If you've always wanted to make the phattest urban beats with incredible hard-hitting drum sounds, but never spent the years being a beat chopper or crate digger, then this library is for you. It takes years to properly learn how to chop samples, rip breakbeats, create the right "swing", and run it all through the expensive hardware to get those perfect drums. This library does all of this for you. And for the experienced producer, you have access to advanced features like importing your own drums with MIDI and running them through our synthesis and incredible effects. Route pads to separate audio outs, use your own plugin FX inside the app, and get full access to synthesizer type programming to make for the ultimate urban drum rompler! Highlights: - 10,000 Combined Drum Sounds - 750 Beat Chops & Kits with MIDI - Load/Save your Own Samples - Host your own Plugin Effects - Insert FX, Global & Master Buss - Full Synthesis for Pads 1-12 - Route Pads to Individual Outs - Dedicated "Slug" Knob - Swing Groove Templates Factory Preset Style The factory presets come with Kits, Full Loops, and Chops from the Loops all in the style of Boom-Bap, Lo-Fi, Hip-Hop Soul, Vinyl and Chill-Hop. Similar to these artists: The Roots, J Dilla, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, and the Wu-Tang, etc.. Use Chops for Drums Any beat maker knows that loop chops represent the phatest sound. So along with the chops on each pad, you can tweak the chopped drums in order to create your own kits from the chops. Sampled from Hardware No drum sounds will ever sound good if they are not sampled from the correct hardware. We use all of the industry standard and our own secret gems in order to produce the hardest hitting drums. Secret Weapon Features: - Alias Name and Tagging for Drum Sounds - Route Drum Sounds to Separate Outputs - Load Your Own Plugins into FX Slots - Ability to Export MIDI Patterns - Save Presets with MIDI Data Embeded - Dedicated Knob to Lay Behind the Beat - Use Chops as Drum Sounds - 5-Insert FX Per Pad 1-12 Route Audio Outputs to any Channel Our app gives you the ability to route any drum pad sound to any output on your multi-channel audio device. This is paramount for mixing drums and separating them out for more flexibility when editing and mastering. Stacking and Layering With 36-pads, you can even stack and layer different drum sounds, which is a very popular producer trick. Simply assign the same MIDI Note to multiple sounds and stack as many drums as you want with one hit. This is how producers get those "out of this world" phat drum sounds. Amazing Effects In partnership with Overloud™, we have the full version of the famous Vintage Keyboard FX Suite of effects readily available. We also have licensed a ton of other high quality effects, all with very lush, warm, and vintage sounds. Each pad 1-12 can have up to 5 insert effects per pad, along with global and master busses. Every knob/fader can be MIDI learned, so you can adjust effects in real-time with a controller. Run the entire beat through a crazy reverb or phaser to instantly change the entire "feel" of the beat or drum sound. Our FX arsenal is so vast that you will spend months just exploring all of the possibilities.

This plugin kills static mixes! We teamed up with Andrew Huang to create Transit: A multi-FX plugin that’ll give your mix transitions super powers. Use it for build-ups, drops, motion effects, risers and sweeps – and keep your listeners constantly engaged. An Easier Way To Create Better Transitions: Transit hosts 18 powerful effect-modules, freely loadable across 7 slots. All effect parameters can be linked to a global Macro Control, which you automate to create complex FX transitions with one knob movement. A Creative Playground: The 18 effect modules in Transit are purpose-designed for transition duties. You get classic modulation effects, distortion and degradation options, motion FX, reverb, delay, two filter types – and even a synth oscillator and noise generator for adding risers and sweeps to your transitions. The Motion Sequencer: Switch from Macro Mode to Sequencer Mode to program and trigger DAW-sync’ed transitions with the click of a button. Each transition will start exactly at the next bar. This is ideal for live use. Or for writing perfectly timed automations into your mix session without entering the automation lanes. What's new in the iOS version: * Play View: A view that lets you trigger and control transitions without the visual clutter. * Ability to zoom in on individual modules for increased precision. * Easy-export your desktop presets to iOS by hitting the "E" key in your desktop version (v1.2 or later) and following the instructions. TL;DR * The ultimate plugin for creating complex, hand-raising, and jaw-dropping FX transitions with one knob movement * Perfect for building excitement between song parts and adding little moments of ear candy to your productions * Can be controlled with a single Macro Knob or a Motion Sequencer that triggers DAW-sync’ed automations at the click of a button * Engage “Sequencer Loop” mode to use Transit as an LFO tool for constant FX movements across entire tracks * A creative playground, suitable for both studio and live use
