Neural Drumkit
Generate Unlimited Drum Samples
Have you also spent hours scrolling for the perfect drum sound in sample libraries, but still didn't find quite what you were looking for? That's why we created Neural Drumkit.
It's an AI-powered plug-in that lets you generate a wide range of drum sounds, and adjust their characteristics just the way you like.
You can start with a free lite version of the plug-in, or take advantage of our early access offer and get the full version, including all future updates, for just $99.99.
One-Click Infinite Drum
Neural Drumkit is a drum machine plug-in with 16 MIDI pads. You can create kicks, snares, hi-hats, cymbals, and more, just by clicking "generate". All processing happens offline on your CPU, working even on older machines.
Unlimited Samples, Generated on Your Machine
Unlike most other AI software, Neural Drumkit operates directly on your local machine instead of the cloud, enabling offline sample creation anytime, anywhere, on any modern machine. Currently, it takes about a second on first-generation MacBook M1 models to generate a sample, and we're working on further optimization.
You can generate an infinite number of drum samples, including kicks, snares, hi-hats, toms, and cymbals, all within the plug-in.
Neural Editor
One of the main issues with current AI tools is the lack of control - often, you're left at the mercy of what is essentially random chance, clicking over and over and hoping that the next generation is closer to what you want. We're working on fixing that with a new experimental feature called the Neural Editor.
It gives you control over the AI's normally hidden parameters by allowing you to directly edit the generation's latent vector, essentially the sound's blueprint. Many of the controls are intuitive, controlling the pitch, the length, the decay or similar characteristics, while some changes are hard to describe but easy to hear. We've left the more experimental knobs labeled by greek letters but you can still use them and get a feel for what they do.
Import and Export Samples
Neural Drumkit works with your existing samples too. Drag and drop your own audio files into the interface to apply effects, create variations using the similarity slider, or edit them with the Neural Editor. Once you've modified a sample, export it with a single click to use in other programs.
This allows you to combine AI-generated and traditional samples in your projects, expanding your sound design options.
Controlled Generations
Neural Drumkit offers precise control over sample generation. Set a specific seed - random, incremental, or manual - to ensure repeatable results. Adjust the Guidance parameter to enhance sample quality by making it adhere more closely to its category (although higher values may decrease sample diversity). The similarity slider lets you control how closely a new sample resembles the previous one.
These features allow for both spontaneous creation and careful refinement in your drum sound design process.
Try Lite for Free
Neural Drumkit Lite allows you to try the same generative AI model as the full version, but with a limited number of options. The only generation options are kicks, snares and closed hi-hats, and the neural editor is not available.
Neural Drumkit is still in its early stages, with many exciting features on the horizon. By purchasing the beta version today, not only do you support future developments, but you also get access to all future new features.
