It doesn't matter if you're a professional beat-maker or if you've
never touched a drum machine before. iDrum lets you create drum
patterns quickly, either with its top-notch included kits or your own
samples. There's simply no faster way to build a beat on your
computer.
Drum machine newcomers will get to experience the same magical
instant-gratification that hooked an entire generation of musicians on
the hardware drum machines of yesteryear. Pros will find that iDrum is
the perfect way to manage large unwieldy drum sample libraries, get a
phat beat going, and get it exported into the format you need (and for
less money than a replacement pad for your MPC 3000).
Seamless Integration:
iDrum runs as both a standalone native application and as a plug-in
for Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, SONAR, Cubase and more. This means
you can use iDrum to create beats from right within your favorite
music software environment, perfectly synced with your arrangement and
always right where you left it when you return to your project after
your next world tour.
Play That Beat:
Don't feel like pushing buttons with your mouse? Prefer to bang on
things instead? iDrum has you covered. Use record mode to tap out
beats on an attached MIDI keyboard, or even using your QWERTY
keyboard!
Samples Reloaded:
iDrum comes with hundreds of professional drum samples arranged in
nearly two hundred iDrum files, each with several preset patterns
programmed by some of the best beatmeisters working today. But these
beats are just the beginning since you can mix and match parts and
samples between kits, and even load your own AIFF and WAV drum
samples, the possibilities for beat creation are virtually endless. If
you ever run through all the drum sounds that come with iDrum (and it
will take you a while, believe us), you can drag any AIFF or WAV file
of up to 2MB in size into iDrum's channel window.
Patterns Galore:
Store up to 99 patterns in a single iDrum file, along with all of the
drum sounds you used to make your beat. iDrum makes it simple to
create tons of variations on a simple pattern, and then chain them
together using Song Mode. Or simply trigger patterns from your
favorite host sequencer.
Parts:
iDrum comes with dozens of presets, a unique feature that makes it
incredibly easy to create amazingly cool beats by simply mixing and
matching parts and samples even if you've never programmed a beat
before. You can even add your own parts to iDrum's part preset library
so you never, ever, ever have to program that syncopated disco hat
figure again (you know the one we mean).
