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.

A key ingredient to some of the biggest dance floor anthems of all time, Latin and reggaeton-style genres are quickly re-emerging in modern EDM genres. Rico is the perfect complement to club, hip-hop and other rhythm-focused music genres, blending the tradition of groove with the modern sleek aesthetics. The easiest way to get listeners on their feet and dancing along to your beats, Beatmaker Rico gets the party going with tasty percussion, energetic rhythms and infectious grooves.

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 Rico comes included with everything you need to find the right groove for your track. 20 different styles allow you to manipulate hundreds of rhythms from soft, withdrawn grooves to aggressive and thumping beats. Everything from classic Latin rhythms like Paso A Paso to quirky, offbeat grooves in Perreo style to hard-hitting Pichudo styles are included. With 50 presets offering over 460 patterns, Beatmaker Rico has the answer for any Latin-inspired track groove you need. 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.

Always sound your best

Flexible enough to fit the context of any project, regardless of mix style, Beatmaker Rico 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 deep, bassy kicks, world percussion instruments, classic boom-chak kicks and tight snappy snares, Rico offers a myriad of different drum kit styles to select from for your reggaeton projects. No more searching through banks and banks of samples as every drum in Rico has been hand-selected to perfect encapsulate the sounds of reggaeton.

Alongside the wide selection of different drum instruments, Beatmaker Rico 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 Rico comes included with a slew of professionally-made mixing presets to enhance and transform your drum kit sound. Delay and garble your beats with The Grinder, or take distortion over the top with the Wrecking Ball preset. 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. Exclusive to Beatmaker Rico, the Me Gusta parameter adds the final touches to your sound, enhancing the stereo image for a larger-than-life.

For more experienced producers and engineers, UJAM Beatmaker Rico 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!
