Soulful Drums With a Big Heart – Contemporary drummer with a 60s & 70s vibe

These beats run deep. If that’s a quality you’re looking to elicit in your music, Virtual Drummer is here to help. And we mean deep as in soulful, deep as in complex and intricate.

Deepness is a measure of emotions. DEEP is UJAM’s most spirited drummer, standing on the shoulders of traditional genres like Soul and Funk, with its gaze firmly set on contemporary styles and timeless future classics.

MAIN FEATURES

• 30 styles with 690 drum patterns
• 70 sound designer presets
• 5 drum kits, 6 mix presets
• Drag-and-drop phrases to DAW for detailed note editing

Sweet Soul Music

Soul and funk dominated the music biz during the 1960s and 1970s. And for good reason! These styles were pioneered and popularised by musicians like Stevie Wonder, James Brown, and Marvin Gaye. Soul music took the stages, record players and musical hearts of the world by storm, driven by iconic rhythm sections like the Funk Brothers and Booker T. & The M.G.’s.

Band Members…

DEEP plays perfectly along with Virtual Bassist DANDY. While you may use DEEP on its own, the included Styles are made-to-match with the bass phrases in DANDY. To make joining the two easy for you, the available Styles have got matching names. Just pick the same style name in DANDY and DEEP and create perfectly aligned bass and drum backings in a breeze.

Incredible Detail

• Up to 60 velocity layers per instrument
• Hyperrealism by UJAM’s dynamic round-robin algorithm
• Superb tone – recorded with a selection of both vintage and modern direct microphones
• Absolute mix freedom: Stereo pairs of overhead and room Microphones available

From Retro to Metro

Soul music emphasizes lyrics, vocal melodies, and vocal harmonies. You could see the roots as gospel music without the religious factor. Typical songs emphasize melody and vocals. Soul music is much less complex than funk music and was more commercially successful. This means soul drumming features more basic patterns with fewer embellishments.

Edgy and energetic

DEEP covers not only soulful and groovy genres but feels also right at home with pop, rock and alternative vibes. Make your production dazzling, with real-world drumming performances, that breathe artistic life into your track.

Features at a Glance

Quickly customize the sound of each of the five drum kits: Dial-in some extra dirt and energy with the Grit control or by using one of our six Mix Presets – from gentle and sophisticated to fierce and powerful!

Mix Presets

Use the Mix Presets to shape the overall sound. Each Mix Preset swaps out an entire multi-bus effect chain for every instrument channel and saves you time and nerves.

Mix Section

Finalize and finetune your drum mix by individually adjusting the volume of each component of the kit including separate controls for overhead & room mics before adding a touch of reverb.

Smells like mean drumming – For rock, grunge, punk, and cross-over styles

From nineties to noughties

Contemporary hard-and-heavy music genres driven by a very specific drumming style: loud, wild, edgy and cutting through the mix. Both drum sounds and playing are rooted in aesthetics invented about two decades ago. Virtual Drummer BRUTE features the essential sounds and styles from Grunge to NuMetal.

In a nutshell: BRUTE is the Virtual Drummer for you, if HEAVY 2 is too Metal-ish and SOLID 2 not rocking hard enough.

What’s in it for me?

• 5 genre-specific drum kits
• 6 mix Presets
• 31 playing Styles, each with 23 phrases for a total of 713 phrases.
• Approved by the International 🤘 Association

From Seattle with love attitude

In the early 1990s, a guitar-heavy new musical category set out to conquer the hearts and ears of the audience. A new generation of artists would unleash distorted guitars, angry drums, and bucketloads of attitude onto an audience that was suddenly keen to rock out again.

Influenced by classic rock of the 1960s and ‘70s, and in opposition to the synthetic aesthetics of the prior decade, bands like Rage Against The Machine, Nirvana, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains popularized the next incarnation of Rock music. Its playbook is still today the go-to for guitar-heavy hard rocking styles.

Punchy, crisp character

What makes BRUTE special? First and foremost it has been designed, recorded and processed to do one thing really well: Compete with layered walls of distorted guitars while maintaining character and detail. This was a tricky challenge… The solution was to record with three different sets of microphones that emphasize different aspects of the drum sound.

Each of the three microphone sets has a specific sonic purpose:

1. Click/Smack
   • The vintage Sennheiser MD21 from the 1960s emphasizes the attack transients. The source signal was processed with a Manley Voxbox.
2. Grit/Dirt
   • Vintage tube and ribbon overhead mics. This is where the character is captured. All the organic noise and resonances that give a warm, coarse and natural quality.
3. Clean/Nice
   • Modern high-spec Schoeps microphones that capture the sound ‘as is’. With as little colorization and distortion as possible. For an expensive and glossy character.

Using the Smack and Grit controls, you can adjust and blend these different characteristics seamlessly to find the perfect mix:

• Smack: Turns up the clicky microphone to make the sound cut through the mix.
• Grit: Blends between 2) and 3): Basically adjusting how clean or dirty your signal sounds.

Kit Rock

The five drum kits in BRUTE have been composed with specific styles in mind.

• DARK The Stoner: Fat, wide, lower tuning. Slow-roll with this!
• DIRTY The Punk: short and punchy for aggressive double-time fun.
• TIGHT The Crossover: More expression and detail, using e.g. a high-tuned piccolo snare.
• NOBLE The Radio Rocker: Full-bodied, refined and punchy, for alternative anthems.
• PRIME The Mainstreamer: Superb and well balanced for sold-out stadiums and rock royalty.

Drumming in the name of

Programming realistic drum tracks can be daunting. With BRUTE it’s fast and easy, so you can focus on your music!

NOFX? Well, there are at least a few…

Mix Presets shape the overall sound by swapping out an entire multi-bus effect chain for every channel under the hood. Saves you time and nerves wrestling with the bus system of your DAW.

Mix Presets:

• Gentle: Polishing and pleasant, use this for ballads or power pop.
• Slam: For that garage sound, too much compression. Pumping & cranked.
• Bite: Less bass, more lower mids, aggressive. Super fast punk anthem anyone?
• Crush: Distortion and saturation, think tape machine and valve distortion. Fast FOO’d, if you know what I mean.
• Bounce: More warmth, modern, Hip-hop-inspired, Rick Rubin might enjoy this one, if he’d ever touch a plug-in. Sound-designed by Richie Beretta in NYC.
• Wide: Stadium-Rock, big and expensive, more subtleties, less punch.

Smack

Make your drums stand out! Smack adds purpose-recorded and processed mic signals that focus attacks and transients while retaining the warm, organic qualities of the kit.

Grit

Crossfades between two sets of mics: basically from nice and clean to dirty and mean.

Made for you and your stupid mom!

Fight for your right to keep rocking!

Features at a glance

MELLOW’s smooth, soulful and acoustic realism is unique. Even seasoned bass players themselves will appreciate the ability to get great-sounding ideas down fast – with practically zero learning curve.

Player Mode
Virtual Bassist MELLOW has two distinct modes – Firstly, Player Mode, that gives you easy access to UJAMs traditional fail-free GUI and control set, just set the musical key and decide on the chords of the song and MELLOW does the hard work, even intelligently choosing the most appropriate articulations to augment your basslines.

Instrument Mode
For those that want more control and are comfortable playing the keyboard, the brand-new Instrument mode will let you access the whole of MELLOW’s meticulously sampled fretboard with your MIDI controller, complete with dead notes, full stops and satisfying slides.

Sound Shaping Options
Add that last bit of sparkle with MELLOW, a simple but powerful set of tone-shaping controls with separate parameters for many useful sonic and performance-enhancing features. Experiment with amp selection, instant character changes on dial-up, note vibrato level, room reverb level, octave effects, not to mention dynamics and EQ.

Carbon – The Toughest Element

This story-telling superweapon brings heavily distorted sounds to your production…

UJAM built CARBON because there was nothing like it – a virtual instrument creating versatile modern “sound-designed” guitar sounds in all kinds of music genres – from the super-quantized accents in electronic music to action-packed big riffs in game soundtracks to subtle vibes in movie scores.

What’s in There?

• Organic, distorted & processed rhythm guitar sounds
• First ever Virtual Guitarist with Instrument Mode
• Unique Layerer soundstage combining up to four guitarists
• Finisher multi-effect rack with 75 cutting-edge effect algorithms

The Most Versatile Virtual Guitarist

CARBON is for sound designers and musicians who go beyond borders. It’s an otherworldly guitar for game soundtracks and film scores, but can also give electronic and pop music that extra kick. It’s a wild and heavily distorted sound, yet that rawness is somehow precise, controlled and sometimes even synth-like at the same time.

Sound Designers’ Delight

No matter how much you push the edgy digital effects, the underlying sonic textures always remain organic and raw. The instrument always remains playable and musical. This lets CARBON play perfectly alongside synths, drum machines, orchestras and band musicians.

Decidedly Cinematic

It is the sound of hellfire inside an Icelandic volcano and also the sensitive instrumentation aboard a lonely space station orbiting the moons of Jupiter. It is heavy and in-your-face when pushed but also light-and-delicate when dialed down. Use it to inject an instant, controlled blast of raw power or to provide a slowly evolving momentum to build up and carry a scene.

MAIN FEATURES

CARBON’s Ultra Amp and Future Distortion algorithms leave no call for insane overdrive unanswered. Its innovative Layerer feature, a virtual soundstage with up to four guitarists, lets you control bigness and width from a tame mono riff to the earth-shaking quadro Wall Of Doom.

• Organic, distorted and processed rhythm guitar sounds for electronic music, soundtrack,  rock and other contemporary music genres 
• Instrument Mode lets you play a wide range of articulations on an amazing 8-string  guitar, Player Mode comes with inspiring riffs and phrases
• Unique Layerer soundstage combining up to four guitarists for ultimate fatness
