What is Beatmaker?

Built to follow the same ethos as the Virtual instrument series, Beatmaker expands into the realm of electronic music production. Hyper-focused on a specific style, each Beatmaker product gives you the quintessential sounds and grooves that make up the DNA of some of the most electronic dance music genres. Going far beyond what is possible with conventional loops and samples, Beatmaker provides comprehensive flexibility - just like you were in the producer's chair with a musician in your studio.

Crafted with professionally-created drum sounds, each title in the Beatmaker series has been hand-selected to offer production-ready sounds instantly. For users of all abilities, UJAM Beatmaker includes a plethora of sound customisation options, from pre-made mix presets to drum-kit customisation. All of this is presented whilst maintaining a sleek workflow to ensure you can make decisions quickly to focus on the creative aspects of your project.

Turn up the heat

Building the foundation of your tracks, the drums play a significant role in setting the groove and rhythm of your beat. This is especially true for urban, beat-based music such as old-school rap and hip-hop. Creating a strong base for which the melodies sit, your drums are what keep your listeners moving and grooving. The fundamentals of these genres of music haven't changed for close to 40 years - until now. Moving on from traditional sample libraries, static loops or dated drum machines, UJAM Beatmaker Dope advances beyond what was ever possible with previous technologies. Dope puts you in the producer seat and lets you engage dynamically with your drummer, just like if you had a world-class player in the studio with you.

The only substitute for a world-class drummer

Creating the perfect drum performance for your beat is a difficult task. For this reason, UJAM Beatmaker Dope comes included with everything you need to find the right groove for your track. Over 50 different styles allow you to manipulate hundreds of rhythms for all urban-style genres from electronic to '80s Boom-Bap, '90s Hip-Hop and Rap. Boasting over 1000+ phrases across the musical spectrum, Beatmaker Dope has the answer for the classic age of emerging urban beat-based genres. Divided into traditional song structures with specific grooves and rhythms for intros, fills, verses, choruses, breakdowns and more, you can craft a song from start to finish at breakneck speed. Fine-tuning the included grooves has never been easier with simple drag and drop MIDI files. Simply drop the MIDI into your DAW and go into the finer details to customise your pattern for your project.

Professionally crafted tones

Flexible enough to fit the context of any project, regardless of mix style, Beatmaker Dope features a plethora of onboard mixing tools and customisation to find the right sound, every time! Pick and choose between 10 different drum kits, each with 16 unique drum instruments, to create a customised drum kit, without the headache of setting each drum up in the real world. From punchy kicks to snappy snares and crisp cymbals, Dope offers a myriad of different drum kit styles to select from for your urban-style projects. No more searching through banks and banks of samples as every drum in Dope has been hand-selected to perfectly encapsulate the sounds of the streets.

Alongside the wide selection of different drum instruments, Beatmaker Dope features a suite of mixing tools to enhance and customise your sound depending on the requirements of your mix. A global mixing section offers simple one-knob control for saturation, maximising, ambience and analog-style filter sweeps. Perfect for quickly adding crunching harmonics, loudness, space and depth to your drum kit sound without diving into complicated mixing parameters. For more inexperienced mixing engineers, Beatmaker Dope comes included with 12 professionally-made mixing presets to enhance and transform your drum kit sound. Take your audience back in time with Lo-Fi or add modern shimmer and glisten with Punch. Each mix preset can be dialled in using the Beat Intensity control to tailor the brightness of each preset to fit virtually any mix style. Signature to the style of vintage Hip-Hop and Boom Bap, Beatmaker Dope features a special Vinyl Drive control to add the signature crunch and character to your drum tracks.

For more experienced producers and engineers, UJAM Beatmaker Dope includes multi-output routing. This enables you to process individual tracks outside of the plug-in and in your DAW using third-party plug-ins, perfect for helping to optimise your workflow and maximise your sonic potential!
