RitMix Drum Machine – Lifetime License is a drum machine plugin from SoundBridge that combines an MPC-style pad section with a 16-step sequencer. It is available in VST3 and AU formats for Windows and macOS.
RitMix Drum Machine – Lifetime License puts two drum machine workflows into one plugin. The pad section is built for playing ideas live, and the 16-step sequencer lets you build patterns by clicking steps or by recording your pad performances. SoundBridge describes the design as a deliberate simplification: editing features are limited to the essentials, and the parameters are large so they are easy to find. A mixing and mastering FX section is included on the same instrument.
The pad section is designed for performing rhythms rather than editing them in detail. SoundBridge says the interface can be enlarged so it is easier to play, and that it supports multi-touch screens.
Because the pads are meant for live input, the plugin suits producers who sketch beats by playing them in rather than programming each hit one at a time.
The 16-step sequencer generates rhythms either by clicking steps or by recording your pad performances. Randomization buttons and parameters are included for experimenting with patterns and mangling the audio.
This combination lets you move between a played take and a programmed pattern within the same plugin, then refine the result with the sequencer's editing controls.
A built-in FX section covers mixing and mastering processing, so drum sounds can be shaped inside the instrument before they reach your DAW's channel strip. SoundBridge describes it as containing the parameters you would expect from a drum machine.
The effects keep the drum bus processing in the same place as the sequencing, which simplifies sessions where the beat is built and finished in one plugin.
