What PHAT 2 does
The instrument is organized as a virtual drummer, where a single operator generates complete grooves, fills and breaks in a funk and hip-hop style. Entire beats and rhythm bodies can be laid down quickly when a session needs a starting point.
PHAT 2 covers a range of genres from retro soul and G-Funk to urban drumming. Phrases can be dragged and dropped into a DAW, and multiple audio outputs are provided for routing the kit in a mix. The release line also names PHAT 1 as an upgrade path for existing owners.
Key features
- Virtual drummer operator. A single operator generates grooves, fills and breaks in a slick, funky hip-hop style, so a full drum part can be produced without programming each hit.
- Per-element volume. Individual volume controls adjust each element of the kit, such as the kick, to tweak the balance inside a performance.
- Sound shaping by combination. Any five of the available elements can be combined to move the sound from smooth and soulful to huge and pumping.
- Drag-and-drop phrases. Generated phrases can be dragged directly into the DAW timeline for arrangement.
Compatibility
It needs 8 GB of RAM and 0.5 GB of disk space, and the developer names Logic Pro as a host.
