Beat Creation Suite for Drum & Bass
A part of the UJAM Beatmaker Series, UJAM Beatmaker Void eliminates the need for endless loop cutting, splicing, and time stretching to blast your drum & bass beat creation workflow into hyperdrive. Featuring 10 genre-authentic kits and 12 smart-mix presets, Void makes it easier than ever to generate the complex, syncopated rhythms that are at the heart of traditional DnB, jungle, liquid, and neurofunk. UJAM Beatmaker Void eschews menu diving with a simplified interface — controls, such as Vortex and Beat Intensity, manipulate multiple parameters, like saturation, compression, and ambiance, from a single knob. A microtiming feature liberates your beats from a rigid tempo map while keeping your beat synced to a DAW. And Beatmaker Void offers ultimate flexibility — use the grooves “as-is” or rearrange the MIDI data to build custom patterns. What’s more, Void supports MIDI Drag and Drop functionality for porting your beats over to any third-party virtual drum machine or external hardware modules, and it includes multiple audio outputs for individually processing every component of its killer DnB kits!

Loaded with quality kits and patterns
With its authentic kits and irresistible patterns, Beatmaker Void comes loaded with hard-hitting syncopated rhythms. Whether it's liquid, jungle, or neurofunk driving the inspiration behind your production, Void gives you the tools you need to create bona fide drum & bass beats without the headaches of the modern DAW.
Kit and Mix sliders
Most kits within Void can be quickly shaped to taste using the intuitive Kit and Mix sliders. These sliders control multiple parameters to whip tracks into shape without any fuss. Vortex puts a notch filter sweep and compression under the control of one knob for impactful transitions, while the Kick-Snare slider moves the balance from downbeats to backbeats — useful for creating fades and transitions. On the Mix side, 12 assignable character presets can be dialed in using the Amount and Beat Intensity sliders to quickly give your beat an edge.
Custom drum and master settings
In addition, Void lets you customize the sound of each of its drum sources as well as that of its master bus. Here you can balance levels between snare and clap, re-pitch kick drums to match the key of your song, program filter sweeps for drum breaks, and add global ambiance and saturation to suit your style of taste.
Work free from distractions
When inspiration strikes, the last thing you want is to see that idea slip away as you navigate the hurdles and frustrations of the modern DAW. Here at Sweetwater, that's one of the things we like most about Void. Its interface allows you to get hands-on with beat creation without succumbing to the distractions and technical obstacles of a full-fledged DAW.
MIDI Drag and Drop
Need to fly out your beat creation to your DAW? With Void, it's as easy as dragging from the interface into the MIDI track of your full-instrument session.
Multiple audio outputs
One of Void's most valuable commodities is the quality of its drum kits. You can preserve these sounds even as you create externally using Void's multiple audio outputs. This gives each instrument in your beat its own slider in your compatible DAW to give you full control of your track.
Beatmaker 3: an all-in-one ecosystem for every sonic style
Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer co-founded UJAM, and the company’s Beatmaker ecosystem was purpose-built to give producers an access-all-areas pass to next-gen music making. Each Beatmaker entry offers a consistent architecture, serving as a central hub for a vast array of instruments, samples, effects, and presets.
