Idol is a K-Pop drum machine plugin by UJAM with 20 styles, 50 presets and 460 patterns built from clean, polished drum samples. It runs as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS.
Idol is a drum instrument plugin from UJAM aimed at producers who want the bright, hyper-processed sound of K-Pop beats. It is organized into styles, presets and drum kits, so you can start from a ready-made groove or build your own rhythm. The plugin syncs to your DAW tempo and lets you export MIDI loops directly from its on-screen keyboard. It is offered as a loyalty upgrade for owners of any UJAM product.
UJAM describes the drum sound as bright and polished, with kicks and snares that cut through the mix. The samples are compressed for a tight low end and a glossy top end, drawing on hip hop, R&B, American and European pop, and traditional Korean instruments.
The kits contain 10 drum kits with 16 drum instruments each. The Juice control adds multiband compression and EQ to punch up the lows and highs, along with a gentle stereo spread.
Idol includes 20 styles with 23 ready-made patterns each, for a total of 460 patterns. Styles cover rhythms such as four-on-the-floor kicks, breakbeats and rolled trap hi hats. You can use presets as they are or adjust the MIDI grooves.
Choose from 12 Mix settings and use the Amount knob to set the intensity. Export MIDI loops into your DAW from the on-screen keyboard and edit them further.
