Drum Designer
Ideal for producers and sound designers, UVI Drum Designer lets you easily pitch, shape, and fine-tune drum sounds in ways you never thought possible. UVI deeply analyzed a range of sophisticated (and time-consuming) drum production techniques and applied this knowledge to create a plug-in that gives you streamlined control over your drum sounds via four specialized instruments (Kick, Snare, Clap, and Cymbal Designers), a dedicated eight-part sequencer, a colossal collection of 5,700+ samples, 2,000+ painstakingly created drum presets, 316 kits, and much more.

Deep sound-sculpting control
Drum Designer gives you deep sound-sculpting control. Unlike purely sample-based instruments that can be stubborn to manipulate, Drum Designer combines raw synthesis with samples, breaking down individual hits into discrete slices and layers to give you command over individual components of each sound. This hybrid approach allows you to craft tight, hard-hitting drum kits with complete control, easily match existing drum sounds to your track, instantly spin off variations, modulate any sonic detail, and design radical new textures.
Four robust drum engines
Drum Designer features an enormous library with thousands of component samples. Combined together within four robust drum engines — Kick, Snare, Clap, and Cymbal Designers — that use the samples, custom 3D wavetables, filtering, and DSP to help you forge killer beats. Each drum engine in Drum Designer is a powerful instrument that gives you focused control over every component in its respective drum sound. You also get deep editors for each component and a global editor, plus Transient Designer, Soft Clip, Stereo Width, EQ, and Convolver modules.
Eight-part Sequencer
A robust instrument in its own right, Drum Designer's Sequencer gives you eight sound engines (one Kick, two Snare, one Clap and four Cymbal) with Pitch, Volume, and Pan sequencers up to eight bars long. Easily control Time, Gain, Pan, Pitch, and sends for each engine, and finalize your sound with bus effects that include Compression, EQ, Reverb, and Delay. You can even click-drag sequences to copy them as MIDI to your desktop or DAW. Take it from Sweetwater: No matter what genre you're working in, UVI Drum Designer gives you the tools to quickly and intuitively nail the drum sounds you're after.
