What Beat Machine 3 does
The plugin is built around two libraries: a set of 300 drum kits and a set of 300 MIDI drum patterns. The developer says the kits cover almost every style, and the patterns include Trap, Drill, LoFi and Boom Bap material. Each pattern can be used as it is, or the drum parts can be programmed by hand from a MIDI or USB controller, a keyboard or an MPD-style pad controller. Individual pitch, pan and gain controls are built in for each sound, and the developer also lists an analogue style reverb and a Hi/Lo pass filter.
The developer lists a stereo output level meter and stereo multi-out routing options, so kits can be sent to separate channels in the host. Patch loading is described as ultra fast, so kits can be auditioned in quick succession, and the developer states that CPU usage is ultra low.
Key features
- Drum kit library. The 300 kits are grouped by genre, and the developer adds a weird category for kits that fit no other group. Scrolling through the collection continues until a suitable kit is found.
- MIDI pattern library. Each of the 300 patterns can be loaded with a choice of kit and then edited by hand, so the rhythm can be adjusted after loading.
- Per-sound controls. Pitch, pan and gain can be set for each sound in a kit, and the high-pass and low-pass filter adds tone shaping at the end of the chain.
- Built-in reverb. An analogue style reverb is included in the plugin, and the developer does not list any separate reverb module.
