Brushify Pro is a brushed drum virtual instrument from Sampleson, built on sampling and modelling techniques and played from a keyboard or pad controller. It is available as VST3, VST2, AU and Standalone on Windows and macOS.
Brushify Pro is designed for producers who want brushed drum playing without a drummer. Sampleson built the instrument around a keyboard-friendly layout, so the brushed techniques can be played on any keyboard or MIDI pad controller. The sound is based on 12 microphone positions sampling a Pearl Masters Custom Kit, combined with a scripted playing engine. The package runs as a plugin or as a standalone application, and it does not require a separate sample player such as Kontakt or UVI.
Brushify Pro uses sampling of a Pearl Masters Custom Kit captured at 12 microphone positions. The instrument includes a mixer with pan, width and sympathetic resonance knobs, so you can shape the placement and the room feel of the kit within the instrument.
Sampleson describes the interface as HD and scalable, which helps when you work at different window sizes.
The developer built a dedicated key mapping for the brushed drum module. Sampleson states that the layout lets you play brushed drum techniques from any keyboard or MIDI pad controller, rather than from a standard drum pad layout.
Because the instrument is designed for keyboardists and programmers, it suits producers who sketch drum parts by playing them in and then edit the results in the DAW.
