03In depth

Sound, Sweetness Control and Mix Presets

UJAM says Kandy's drums are built for large, polished pop mixes. The proprietary Sweetness control combines multiband compression with a transient designer, which the developer says helps the drums cut through a mix. Mix Presets set the overall character, and you can adjust that character to taste.

The plugin includes 20 styles and 50 presets. The developer describes the rhythms as drawing on a range of genre influences, including broken dance rhythms and techno-inspired patterns.

Workflow: Patterns, Drag and Drop and Tempo Sync

Kandy contains 460 patterns across its 20 styles, with 23 ready-made patterns per style. It syncs to your DAW's tempo, and you can drag MIDI from the plugin into your session.

The interface is built around a small set of controls. Effects for punchy, contemporary beats are available directly in the plugin, so you can shape a drum part without a separate processing chain.
