Boom

Boom features a slick modern interface that pays homage to the most popular vintage drum machines of the past.

Boom is a Virtual Drum Machine.

Boom has been used on many famous projects since its launch, ranging from hit albums, feature films and radio projects.

Boom is now available on its own by popular demand, available to anyone who demands instant creativity in AU/VST formats.

Boom includes a diverse collection of 10 different classic electronic drum kits, offering variations on the classic 808 and 909 kits, more aggressive Dance and Urban-style kits and a powerful retro style kit modeled on the concept of a ‘CR78 merged with a 606’.

Each one has been created with great attention to detail and provides serious sonic impact.

Each kit contains 10 different drums, and you can adjust the panning, volume, tuning and decay of each drum within a kit.

Each drum channel also contains a special tuning screw that can be turned to make a sonic adjustment, specific to a particular drum. This tweaking ability provides for nearly limitless possibilities with a user-friendly interface.

You can mix and match drums from different kits to make your own custom kit, and the drum sounds can be triggered individually via standard MIDI pitch mappings.

For instant inspiration, over 50 presets are included cover contemporary, classic electronic/urban musical genres.

Boom also has an on-board sequencer that enables you to create and trigger your own patterns, which can be saved and recalled as presets.

You can select different patterns using the keys along the bottom of the interface, when you’re in Pattern Select mode, and these are conveniently color ‘coded to show you how they map to a MIDI keyboard from middle ‘C’ upwards for remote selection.

The Matrix display in the top left enables you to program a pattern, but if you prefer you can also use the keys along the bottom, this time with Pattern Edit mode selected.

You’ll find some nice touches, such as the ability to copy one pattern to another, and some simple controls for adjusting the way in which the pattern plays back within your host: normal, double, half or triplet time, and there’s even a swing control mirroring classic MPC’s and other vintage drum machines/samplers.

Plus: Easy access to all the effects you need to make punchy contemporary beats that will – quite literally – leave an impression.

Bass Tune

Tune the bass drum to match your song’s key or melody. Much easier than with an actual 808. 

Mix Presets

Create your music without overthinking! Select and adjust one out of 12 custom mix templates. Each is a complete multi-bus mixing desk under the hood with multiple effect chains per channel.

Join the Gucci gang – Get Beatmaker GLORY for the fame.

Metal (ADpak)

Hard-as-nails. Produced by Ross Robinson.

Ross Robinson Studios – Los Angeles

When you think of a metal studio you might not think of sunny Venice Beach California but that’s where Ross Robinson creates his raw in-to-the-bone sound. Known as The Godfather of Nu Metal, Robinson is world-renowned for his production skills, having presided over seminal albums for bands like Sepultura and Limp Bizkit as well as discovering bands like Korn, Slipknot, and Limp Bizkit. His place in the pantheon of metal is unquestioned.

As a producer, Ross always pushes a band (sometimes physically) all the way to their limits to get to the core of the realest and rawest performances. He often records the whole band gathered tight around the drums, feeling their energy as the heartbeat of the song, and to make sure everyone feels the raw power of the drummer, he built “The Grotto”, a small room whose walls and floor are covered in actual ROCK! The punch and rawness Ross gets out of this man-made drum cave is elemental magic.

Custom Kit – Ludwig Classic Maple

This 18 piece kit delivers the goods in any style of Metal. It comprises thunderous maple toms, and a heavy kick from Ludwig, vicious Zildjian cymbals and a sharp balanced snare from Gretsch, made of HAMMERED METAL, just in case you needed convincing! Seeing as this ADpak is designed to allow you to go all in, we’ve added a special feature that’s a must for the modern Metal producer; “Trig” samples (recorded with extra attack and shorter decay) for putting in the Xtra slot and beefing out the kick and snare.

Oh, and it was all hand-picked and tuned by metal legend Ross Robinson for the recording sessions. No biggie!

Kick:

Studio Prog (ADpak)

Instant Progressive Rock Drums

Decibel Studios – Stockholm

XLN Audio wanted to make sure that with just a few clicks, users could add world-class drums to their productions, and have full control over them, almost as if they’d been at the recording session themselves. To begin with, XLN carefully hand-selected each kit, piece by piece, to get just the right sound. Then they found just the right space to record each kit. A studio with the right mix of acoustics, gear, drummer and engineers to coax the best out of it, make it sing, and capture its essence.

Every kit was meticulously recorded with a variety of strokes sampled for each piece. Snares were recorded from above, and below. Kicks from the front, and from the rear near the beater. The sound coming back from the live room was recorded separately on stereo mics. All these signals are combined in the software to give you amazingly real live-sounding drums. If you want to hear these drums at their very best, the ADpak comes with a host of presets configured for specific drum sounds, or you can take full control and control every aspect of the individual drums. Dial-up the room noise for some stadium rock epicness. Tune the toms to vibe with your keys. Turn up the overheads, add distortion, or reverb, change the attack…the possibilities are literally endless.

Custom Kit – DW Collector’s Series

When you’re working on progressive rock, or experimental music with complex rhythms, and intricate playing, you need a high-end kit capable of capturing both subtle nuance and powerful punchiness. XLN went to the flagship line from DW, the Collector’s Series. It’s like the Rolls Royce of drum kits. The shells are cold-pressed for extra stiffness and extra resonance, and intense attention is paid to every detail in the construction process. Each shell is tapped in the factory to test its natural frequency, which is then stamped on the inside, so it can be tuned up to the precise note it was born to sing.

A high-end sound that’s raw but controlled, rich but gritty, everything in perfect balance. A kit that can deliver the goods, no matter how hard you push it.

Kit Details:

Kick:

  • Drum Workshop Collector’s Series 20×16″

Snares:

Virtual Drummer: DEEP

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
  • Retro morph control called “Grit”

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.

Go Deeper!

Treat yourself to the next best thing to a real world-class studio drummer. Go DEEP and far today.

Nithonat

PLEASE CHECK THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Please Note: This product is not compatible with MAC OS Big Sur, Monterey or MAC M1 Chips. please check both the features and system requirements tabs before purchasing this plugin

Nithonat is a fully synthesized drum machine based on the classic 606. The unique sound of this machine has been used by many artists over the years in the production of Electro, Hip-Hop and R n B. The original 606 has been perfectly emulated. However, since Nithonat is software based, D16 were able to enhance the original with extra functionality.

Full control over the sound On the original 606, the only editable sound parameter was volume. D16 have added to the original and as a result, Nithonat is equipped with extra controls which allow each sound to be shaped in ways which were not possible in the original machine. A whole spectrum of sounds is now at you fingertips – rumbling kicks, rustling snares and completely synthesized and unnatural sounding toms and hi-hats. For the first time since the 80s, it is now possible to hear what the analog synthesis of the 606 is truly capable off!

One of a kind Nithonat was designed completely from the ground up. Its synthesis is special – even when compared to Nepheton’s. It has very unique and characteristic hi-hat and cymbal sounds which are due to the emulated structure of the circuits in the original. The bass drum has unparalleled attack character and strong punch. The snare sounds sandy. These unique attributes guarantee that our 606 is not a sub-standard 808 but is a great instrument with a unique timbre which will bring an old school feel to any track it is used on.

New dimension of creativity Nithonat has a powerful built-in internal sequencer. The tracks can be edited in a very simple and intuitive way and modified with many useful functions. The clear GUI means that sequencer is very easy to use. In addition to having many internal sequencer modes, Nithonat can also be used as a sound module. All sounds and functions within Nithonat can be controlled from a host sequencer. Experimenting with Nithonat can give interesting and unexpected results. Operation of Nithonat is very similar to Drumazon and Nepheton – having knowledge of these will mean that using Nithonat will not require much manual reading!

Good choice We believe that we have created a powerful drum machine at an affordable price which is quick to program and very easy to use. Another D16 classic!

  • fully synthesized drum sounds
  • additional parameters to get yet more control over the sound
  • many ways of controlling the device:
    • external mode (notes triggering the sounds)
    • internal sequencer (pattern mode)

Mininn Drum

Mininn Drum is a drum machine plugin, an adaptation of the Linn Drum.

We created three different sound ROMs with a selection of different sounds to get a global approach of the famous drum machine. The ROM 1 is a selection closer to the LM-1, the ROM 2 closer to the 9000 Version, and the ROM 3 is a custom adaptation of the 80’s drum sounds.

We also added a custom pad with the possibility to embed an additional drum or bass or any sample in your preset. You can modify each sound separately, change the tune, the volume and the panoramic.

The Linn LM-1 Drum Computer (conceived by Roger Linn) was the first drum machine to use digital samples of acoustic drums.

A lot of artists and bands like Human League, Michael Jackson, Prince, Kraftwerk, Phil Collins, Genesis, Herbie Hancock and a lot of others used this drum machine on their records.

We adapt these sounds on a new instrument to offer the possibility to get the sounds of these rare drum machines embed in your setup.

Virtual Drummer: BRUTE

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!

BFD3

BFD3 is the third generation of BFD’s flagship software acoustic drum studio: new levels of realism and ground-breaking features in an intuitive redesigned engine.

With stunning new kits, mix-ready presets and modelling technology for tom resonance and cymbal swells, BFD3 delivers uncompromising detail. The revamped interface has a new mixer and sound browser for the easiest BFD experience yet.

The all-new BFD3 library is designed to provide a diverse range of drum sounds out of the box. Recorded by engineers including Andrew Scheps, Rail Jon Rogut and John Emrich, it features brush and mallet sounds and is recorded in 2 rooms for varied room ambience.

BFD3 also contains a powerful built-in environment for pattern creation and editing, complete with a range of performances by legendary drummers for effortless production of drum tracks indistinguishable from the real thing.

Effortless Power

Instant Results with Unlimited Depth

BFD3 is designed to sound great while offering as much depth as you need. Browse for entire presets, quickly compile custom kits or mould any drum sound you desire by retuning, damping and processing multiple mics with the powerful internal mixing engine.

The built-in Groove section offers a versatile range of session drummer performances alongside pattern editing and creation functions. Select from a wide range of musical drum rudiments and paint your own realistic parts.

New Sound Library – Stunning Hyper-Detailed drums

With detail levels of up to 80 velocity layers, rim-clicks and rim-shots for toms and bells and splashes for hi-hats, BFD3’s sounds are more expressive than ever before. The library’s 160GB of audio data is squeezed into 55GB thanks to BFD3’s lossless compression system meaning less space usage and playback strain on your hard disk.

4 of the included kits are recorded in LA’s Ocean Studios and feature additional mono room and hardware-compressed channels in addition to stereo overhead and room mics. The remaining 3 kits are stick, brush and mallet versions of a custom Mapleworks kit recorded in a tight but vibrant room at Omega Studios in Rockville, Maryland.

Augmented Realism

Intelligent Drum and Dynamics Modelling

BFD3 introduces modelled tom resonance and bleed which provides a natural-sounding ‘glue’ which blends the sound of the kit together. The modelling varies with the characteristics and tuning of any combination of drums – something that cannot be achieved only by using samples. BFD3 also includes improved dynamics matching across drums and a swell-modelling algorithm for more realistic cymbal washes.

These features can be applied to your existing BFD libraries if you’re upgrading (and to any expansion packs you buy in future).

Mixing and Exporting

New Effects and Workflow Enhancements

The internal BFD3 mixing engine has DCAM-modelled compression, filtering and other effects alongside great-sounding EQ and algorithmic reverbs. You can even use an external signal as a compression sidechain source.

New workflow enhancements let you hide multiple drum and ambient mics for simpler mixing approaches and it’s easy to route multiple channels to discrete outputs for processing with other plugins or outboard gear. BFD3 even provides multi-channel audio export direct to disk. Grooves can be exported using drag and drop – perfect for compiling loops.

PunchBOX is a virtual instrument designed for creating high-quality kick drum sounds. An equally vast and exquisite factory content delivered by industry-standard sound designers Sounds of Revolution and CFA-Sound gets you started in no time. Synthesis & sampling shaking hands in one plugin PunchBOX easily brings together the best of the two worlds.
