Built for Beat Makers
“Captain Plugins is the fastest way to make a beat. This product was inspired by how iconic producers work – they reference and borrow elements from different genres to create new genres of music.“says Yakov Vorobyev, CEO of Mixed In Key and continues “We made this plugin so you can quickly browse through rhythms from all over the world, and apply your own samples to those rhythms. It helps you combine ideas that don’t normally go together – like trap hi-hats playing at 125 BPM, and it sounds epic. You could invent a new music genre with this plugin’s beat making capabilities.”
Captain Beat Features
Patterns
Choose from one of the hundreds of drum MIDI patterns to create a beat. There are patterns from every genre and bpm, ranging from 67 BPM to 124 BPM.
Drum Kits
Make beats with one of our custom drum kits. Captain Beat has kits ranging from trap to hip hop and house, to Latin, drum and bass, pop and R’n’B.
Hotkeys
Record your own rhythms using your computer keyboard or MIDI controller. This is a great feature for producers who like to finger drum. Each type of drum sample is automatically mapped to your computer keyboard; the letter each sample is mapped to is clearly marked in the plugin using Hotkeys.
Drum Roll
The Drum Roll is a vertical stack of drums that include Kick, Snare, Closed Hat, Open Hat, Shaker, Acoustic Snare, Toms, Crash Cymbal, Ride Cymbal, Tambourines, and Claves. Each type of drum allows you to use one of Captain Beat’s custom drum sets, swap in one of your own samples and easily select a different rhythm. Mix and match samples from different types of drum kits and rhythms to create original percussive patterns.
Banks
The bank section includes percussive patterns from Mixed In Key and featured artists. These patterns span a wide range of genres including dub, dancehall, hip hop, house, pop, reggaeton, techno, trap and more.
