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 get the full version, including all future updates, for $79.99.
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.
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 random chance, clicking over and over. We're working on fixing that with the Neural Editor.
It gives you sculpt the sound by directly controlling the AI's blueprint for generating the sound. You can change the pitch, the length, the decay or similar characteristics, while some changes are hard to describe but easy to hear, and are labelled by greek letters.
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.
Velocity
Neural Drumkit lets you create dynamic, velocity-sensitive drum sounds with unprecedented control. Generate different variations for soft and loud hits, then create smooth interpolations between them. You can fine-tune the velocity response curve with adjustable start, middle, and end points.
For even more control, copy your main sample to the minimum velocity slot and modify it using the Neural Editor or filters to create naturally muffled quiet hits. This gives you realistic-sounding drums that respond expressively to your playing intensity.
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. You can generate electronic kicks, toms, snares, open and closed hi-hats, and only the first 4 knobs of the Neural Editor are available. Importing and exporting .wav files only available in the Pro version.
Neural Drumkit is still under active development and frequently sees new features and updates!
