Emergent Drums

What is Emergent Drums?

The digital music realm has been profoundly enhanced with the introduction of Emergent Drums 2, an innovative product by Audialab designed to transform the way you create and manipulate drum samples. This revolutionary plugin is powered by generative models of artificial intelligence to fabricate an infinite number of drum samples, entirely from scratch.

Emergent Drums 2 prides itself on producing distinct and original samples. Without any need for source recordings, each design is a unique creation. Resulting in novel drum samples that are specifically crafted bit by bit for each user. This breakaway from traditional sample generation to a more autonomous design process ensures each drum sample you get is original, offering unprecedented exploratory potentials in music production.

The plugin showcases two polar-opposite sound models: Creamy and Crunchy. Creamy is characterized by its deep, full-bodied kicks, snappy snares, and shimmering cymbals. On the other end of the spectrum, Crunchy delivers high-energy noise, glitches, and grit for a more experimental sound. With this dichotomy, creating the perfect drum kit tailored to your sound has never been easier.

How to Use Emergent Drums: Step-by-Step Guide to Accessing the Tool

1. To start off, download the latest version of Emergent Drums from the Audialab website.
2. Proceed to install the plugin on your device. Remember, it's not just a sample generator; it's also a 16-pad instrument. So, compatibility with your DAW is essential.
3. To create a drum sample, adjust the controls to your preference. Drag-in an existing sample, set the similarity slider, and click generate. The possibilities are endless.
4. Utilize the Deep Sampling technology to modify existing samples or create unique ones.
5. You can switch between the Creamy and Crunchy sound models based on the sound you want. You can also combine both to design your perfect kit.
6. After creating your desired drum sample, you have the option of shaping each pad on its separate channel thanks to the plugin's multi-out support.
