UVI Releases Drum Designer 1.5

UVI releases Drum Designer 1.5, a modern drum instrument with powerful Kick, Snare, Clap, and Cymbal sound design engines, a featured 8-part sequencer and more, now with hundreds of new presets, dozens of new kits, a new Haas effect for the cymbal engine, and additional tempo options.

From our Drum Designer by UVI Review “Drum Designer sounds excellent, supports you with a large variety of presets and if you do want to experiment it is a lot of fun to play with it. Drum Designer as a new star on the software-based drum machine is worth the investment.”

Drum Designer 1.5 now includes an additional 500+ presets, 70+ new kits, a new Haas effect for the cymbal engine providing enhanced spatial detail, and new tempo options such as halve and double. Drum Designer combines the best of synthesis and sample-based drum techniques, breaking down drum hits to the component level and allowing users to rapidly create, edit and combine sounds with the flexibility of a synthesizer and the polish and impact of high-quality sample libraries.

reated with a focus on today’s detail-oriented sound design and production methods, Drum Designer presents 4 dedicated engines outfitted with a combination of component drum samples and customized synthesis layers utilizing 3d wavetables. Each engine presents a deep and flexible toolset to help producers create powerful and iconic drum sounds, quickly explore variations, and mix them into existing tracks of any style.

Users can make broad-stroke changes to preset sounds with front page macros or take complete control over individual hit components with detailed editors and a versatile effects section. Each voice archetype (kick, snare, clap and cymbal) allows surgical sound shaping through component-specific editors including control over time, gain, pan, pitch, key-tracking, HP and LP filters, sample start time, phase, AHD amp envelopes, stereo width and more. Drum sounds can be further tweaked and refined through an effect section including transient designer, soft clipper, stereo width, EQ and convolution reverb.
