About Soft Drummer – Brush Sessions
Soft Drummer is your subtle session drummer, and now it works as an AUv3 plugin inside GarageBand, AUM, Loopy Pro or your favourite DAW.
It doesn't loop. It improvises.
With brushes, hot rods and hands, Soft Drummer generates warm, musical grooves for ballads, soft pop, jazz and latin, adapting in real time like a real session player. No patterns. No repetition.
AUv3
Use Soft Drummer as a plugin in any AUv3 host. Send and receive grooves between Soft Drummer, Pop Drummer and iBassist. Sync everything in real time.
SOUND
More than 50 multilayer sounds with 3 hit types (ghost, accented, drag/open)
× 3 Round Robin alternating samples for natural, authentic feel.
4 playing styles: Brushes, Hot Rods, Hands and Mallets.
4 Effects: Compressor/Gate, EQ, Delay and Reverb with individual track control.
LIVE PERFORMANCE
8 assignable Live Pads for fills, intros and endings, playable live or with any MIDI controller (iRig Blueboard and 4-button compatible).
Ableton Link sync for tight integration with your setup.
SONG MODE
Build your song structure in seconds. Arrange rhythmic sections and let Soft Drummer follow your song from intro to outro.
MIDI
MIDI Out, MIDI Sync (Legacy, recommended Ableton Link), Sound Module (Play individual sounds by MIDI In).
