iDrum turns your Mac or PC into a powerful, simple-to-use virtual drum
machine. Build patterns with iDrum's lightning-fast step sequencer,
using included kits or your own samples. From ambient downtempo to
bangin' hip hop to frenetic drum & bass, iDrum's got you covered.
Easy. Fun. Dope.
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 Mac or PC.
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 OS X and Windows application and as a
plug-in for Pro Tools, GarageBand, 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 part 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).
