BOUNCE is a drum machine plugin by UJAM that builds Y2K RnB, hip-hop and club drum patterns from 10 drum kits and 25 groove styles, available as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX.
BOUNCE, the Beatmaker plugin from UJAM, focuses on drums for Y2K RnB, hip-hop and club music. Its groove styles are built around syncopated rhythms and stuttering hi-hats, and the developer describes the grooves as inspired by the late-1990s and early-2000s production of Timbaland and The Neptunes. Each of its 10 kits contains 16 drum samples, and the patterns can be played from single MIDI keys or edited directly in your DAW.
BOUNCE includes 10 Y2K RnB and hip-hop drum kits, each with 16 drum samples. The plugin also offers 25 groove styles, and every style contains 10 patterns for sections such as intros, verses and choruses.
The patterns are built for syncopated, stop-start rhythms rather than straight four-on-the-floor drumming, so they suit beats that need a bouncy, uneven feel.
The Sweep and Juggle controls shape the sound while the pattern plays. Sweep is aimed at filters, and Juggle covers stutters and rolls, which helps with the fills and breaks typical of this style.
The Ambience control places the kit in a room, letting you adjust how much space surrounds the drums. MIDI drag-and-drop lets you move patterns into your DAW for further editing.
