Sound and Drum Kits for Hyperpop Production

Chromed is built around hyperpop, glitchcore and high-energy electronic styles. The library includes 10 drum kits with 160 unique instrument samples, so you can audition different textures without building a kit from scratch.

The 12 Multi-FX mix modes are the main tool for shaping character. UJAM describes them as made for chaos, so they suit beats that need distortion and rough edges rather than clean polish.

Each kit can be browsed in the sample grid, where you can swap, preview and shape individual hits such as kick, snare and hi-hat.

Workflow, Browser and Mixing Controls

The Intelligent Browser lets you filter loops by tags such as mood, genre or BPM, and preview kits and loops, including from Beatmaker titles you do not own.

The Advanced Mixing Page gives per-track control over volume, pan, filter, ambience and saturation, with individual output routing inside the plugin.

A custom keyboard layout lets you assign loops and phrases to keys for real-time performance. MIDI can be dragged straight into your DAW for editing or layering with other instruments.
