Pristinely recorded in india

The rhythms of India,
in one drum machine.

Every hit was recorded across multiple regions of India — from the hand drums of the north to the percussion of the south — then layered with phat drum machine samples from vintage hardware. The result: authentic exotic character you can drop into any genre.

Global FX + Reverb

Shape the whole kitwith one chain.

A full master chain built into the plugin — 3-band EQ, compressor, bit crusher, sample-rate reducer, drive, and reverb. Dial in the glue, the warmth, and the space that lets exotic percussion sit naturally inside any modern mix.

Push the drive for raw intensity, crush the sample rate for vintage grit, or keep it clean for cinematic clarity — the whole chain is there, ready to shape.

Easy to use

Deep power,no learning curve.

Hover any control for an instant Controls Helper popup — the parameter, what it does, and its current value. In the sequencer, the Draw Values feature lets you drag velocity, pitch, and length curves across steps with a single mouse gesture.

It's the kind of workflow that turns a deep drum machine into one you can start making music with in the first five minutes — exactly the way the best hardware always felt.

Loaded with power

Pro features,
producer workflow.

Everything you'd expect from a pro drum machine, wrapped in an interface that stays out of your way.

Multi out routing

Drag the Multi Out button to assign any pad its own DAW channel — individual percussion, kicks, and hats get their own mixer strips for external processing.

MIDI drag & drop

Drag any pattern from the sequencer directly to your DAW timeline or desktop. Export as a MIDI file and build full arrangements from there.

Full MIDI learn

Right-click any control to assign a MIDI CC from your hardware. Reassign pads to any MIDI key for custom finger-drumming layouts.

Per-pad parameters

Every pad has trim, reverse, filter, pitch, pan, release, solo, and mute — shape each hit individually, chop your own samples, flip the groove.

Library relocate

Move the sample content to any internal or external drive and re-link from the plugin's settings icon. Perfect for limited-storage rigs.

Kit reset

One click clears all samples and resets parameters back to a clean slate — the fastest way to start building a custom kit from scratch.

Beats that travel the world.
