DreamMachines is a drum machine plugin by MeldaProduction with six drum voices, layered samples and built-in analog-style processing for electronic and pop production.
DreamMachines is a drum machine instrument from MeldaProduction built around six drum voices. Each voice can be processed and mixed to a stereo output, or routed to separate tracks in your DAW. It is presented as a premium instrument for MSoundFactory and as a sample collection for MDrummer, with a layout meant to feel like working on a hardware drum machine. The sounds draw on a wide range of drum machines and analog synthesizers, including vintage classics and modern FM and hybrid designs.
Each of the six drum voices uses two user-selectable samples. Each sample has its own pitch, decay and filter controls, so you can layer sounds and shape a custom drum voice.
Automating the crossfade between the two samples in your DAW lets you move between sounds such as open and closed hi-hats or high and low toms within a single voice. Velocity-sensitive pads let you trigger sounds directly while you program or play.
Each drum voice includes dedicated EQ, compression and tube saturation, with an independent send level for delay and reverb. Pre- and post-FX gain controls let you set both the level and how hard the tubes and compressors are driven.
All voices then pass through master FX, including shelf EQ, glue compression and a brick wall limiter. The developer describes the processing as inspired by vintage analog gear.
The library includes almost 500 samples, among them more than 100 kicks and more than 150 snares, rims and claps. Hats, cymbals, toms and various percussion are also included, along with over 100 presets for MDrummer and the MSoundFactory instrument.
The sample set is broad enough for many music types. It is especially suited to 80s synthpop, hip hop and EDM.
