01Overview

Cozy focuses on the laid-back feel of lo-fi hip hop. Its patterns are built around a snare that lands slightly late, and the drum sounds carry a warm, tape-style character with light vinyl crackle. The plugin is aimed at producers who want to sketch relaxed beats quickly. It is organized as a beatmaker, so you can start from a style, choose a kit and drag MIDI out of the interface.

Sound and Character of the Drum Kits

Cozy includes 10 drum kits, each with 16 drum instruments. UJAM says the samples were chosen for quality and then intentionally roughened to add a lo-fi texture.

You can shape each sound with decay, pitch and filter controls. Overall mix controls for saturation, compression and ambience let you adjust how the full groove sits together.

Workflow, Patterns and the Nostalgia Control

The 20 styles contain 23 ready-made patterns each, for 460 patterns in total. The library includes 50 presets, and you can drag MIDI directly from the plugin into your DAW.

The Nostalgia control adjusts several parameters at once. It adds vinyl crackle, smooths transients, reduces highs and lows, increases saturation and adds convolution-based tube microphone coloring from a single dial. Micro Timing lets you set the swing or looseness of the groove, from higher to highest.

Who Cozy Is For

Cozy suits producers making lo-fi hip hop, chill beats and relaxed study music. Because the interface is designed around fast results, it also fits producers who want usable patterns without building every groove from scratch.

UJAM describes the plugin as a way to get listeners into a relaxed headspace quickly, whether for focused work or unwinding.
