Emergent Drums by Audialab is a revolutionary AI-powered drum machine plugin that leverages cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to generate an infinite array of unique, royalty-free drum samples.
What it Does
Emergent Drums creates novel drum samples from scratch, using a deep neural network trained on an extensive database of existing drum sounds. Unlike traditional sample-based drum machines, Emergent Drums does not rely on pre-recorded source material, ensuring that each generated sample is entirely original and unique.
Key Features
AI-Powered Sample Generation
The plugin uses state-of-the-art AI generative models to produce drum samples. With the ability to generate new samples by the click of a button, users can explore a vast array of unique sound options without any repetition.
Dual Sound Models
Emergent Drums offers two distinct sound models: “Creamy” and “Crunchy.” The “Creamy” model produces clean, shimmering cymbals, deep kicks, and snappy snares, while the “Crunchy” model delivers high-energy, noise-infused, and glitchy drums ideal for experimental and otherworldly soundscapes.
Deep Sampling for Variations
The plugin includes Deep Sampling technology, allowing users to generate numerous variations of their existing drum samples. By adjusting the similarity slider, users can create slight alternatives or entirely new samples, enabling extensive sound design possibilities.
Fully-Featured 16-Pad Instrument
Emergent Drums functions as a comprehensive 16-pad instrument that can be played via MIDI. Each pad has individual multi-out support, enabling users to shape and process each sound on separate channels. The plugin also includes built-in support for sample layering and various effects such as clipping, filtering, and pitch-shifting.
Editing and Customization
Users can edit each drum sample using individual envelopes, onboard filters, and controls for pitch and panning. This allows for precise shaping of the sounds to fit specific musical needs. Additionally, the plugin features a full ADSR section for adjusting attack, decay, sustain, and release, along with volume, pan, and velocity sliders.
Versatile Integration
Emergent Drums is designed to seamlessly integrate into any production workflow. It can be powered via MIDI for real-time performance or used to generate samples that can be exported directly into a preferred digital audio workstation (DAW) or sound design tools.
Real-Time Performance and Live Shows
The plugin supports real-time performance, making it suitable for live shows. Users can regenerate entire kits or individual samples on the fly, and the undo feature allows for smooth trial-and-error adjustments without disrupting the creative flow.
Conclusion
Emergent Drums by Audialab is a powerful tool for music producers, sound designers, and musicians seeking to create unique and original drum samples. With its advanced AI technology, versatile features, and ease of use, it offers an unparalleled level of creativity and flexibility in drum sample generation and sound design.
