Sound, Styles and Kit Building

PHAT 2 includes 200 presets and 60 musical styles containing 1380 rhythmical patterns, which can be combined and stitched together. You can switch between five drum kits and six character presets to move from smooth, soulful grooves to bigger, pumping patterns, covering styles from Retro Soul to G-Funk.

Kit editing options let you build your own drum kits, and a new master section adds saturation and a maximizer to the final output.

Workflow and Key Controls

Individual volume controls for each element of the kit, such as kick and snare, let you balance the performance before fine-tuning with swing, feel and humanization controls. Phrases can be dragged and dropped into your DAW, and version 2 adds multiple audio outputs and an enhanced mixer section for routing the drums in your session.
