MDrummer is perfect whether you are looking for a traditional style, a truly unique sound available by a few clicks, or if you are ready to get dirty and explore the depths of the most advanced drum machine in the world.
Rhythms Limited Only by your Imagination
MDrummer truly understands what a rhythm is in the same way that humans do, and you have access to everything it knows. It can cover any style and any percussive instrument. MDrummer can play pop, drum 'n' bass, rock, R & B, salsa, jungle, jazz, rumba on congas, progressive metal in 11/4 signature, and anything else you can imagine. MDrummer can generate new rhythms for you, merge multiple rhythms, add shakers and other background percussion. Humanization, shuffling, half/double tempo and feel, and many more advanced features let you transform your ideas into reality with a few mouse clicks.
Unique Performance Controls
You can command MDrummer to play intros and grooves, add fills, and play notes at different velocities. You can tell it what to do using a unique MIDI command method or the integrated sequencer. It can even jam with you. No more clumsy automation or MIDI-file drag-and-drop. You can make a great drum track for your arrangement in just a few minutes.
Groundbreaking Rhythm Generator
Melda taught MDrummer what humans do when creating new rhythms. All you need to do now is to create a single loop, which suits your song. Or, MDrummer can generate a unique one for you. The rhythm generator then takes its library of resources and creates the whole rhythm for you. Similar to the way real drummers might do it.
Flexible User Interface
We make music, but the visual side may inspire or not. MDrummer's user interface is resizable and can be restyled; it includes context help for everything and the workflow is optimized for maximum speed. All for the ultimate user experience and creativity.
Automatic Gain Compensation (AGC)
Most plug-ins change loudness of the output audio, which makes browsing presets or using randomization inconvenient. MDrummer includes automatic gain compensation, which quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better in cases when it is only louder.
Safety Limiter
Some plug-ins can increase gain intensely when exposed to specific audio materials. MDrummer provides a safety brickwall limiter, which ensures the output stays below 0 dB and prevents your equipment and your ears from potential danger automatically.
Advanced GUI
- User interfaces need to be fast, simple to use and be easy on the eye. Everyone's needs can be different, so flexibility is important. Melda solves this with the most advanced GUI engine on the market.
- Stylable: From vintage hardware to super futuristic. You can choose the colors and style of the GUI, making the plug-ins personal to you.
- Resizable: All Melda plug-ins are freely resizable. Many also feature pop-up windows. So, no matter how many screens you have or what size they are, you will be able to arrange your plug-ins to keep a focus on what is important.
- GPU Accelerated: All the elements in the GUI are accelerated by your GPU. This makes graphics lightning fast and frees up extra power for your CPU to focus on the audio.
- Stunning Quality: Melda plug-ins support HDPI and Retina displays, so you will experience beautiful and crisp resolutions. With adjustable frames per second up to 100, you will not miss a thing in our detailed analyzers.
Modulators
- MDrummer provides 4 full-featured modulators, which can control any set of parameters including other modulators. Each modulator works as an LFO, level follower, MIDI- or audio-triggered ADSR envelope, randomizer or pitch detector, or even a combination and can listen to the plug-in side-chain.
- You can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. You can make various parameters depend on the input (or the sidechain) level or even listen to the input pitch.
Surround and Ambisonics Processing
MDrummer can handle not only mono and stereo signals, but also mid/side encoding for stereo field processing, separate left and right channels, separate mid or side signals, up to 8 channels of surround audio, and even up to the mighty 7th order ambisonics having staggering 64 channels. It is perfect for audio production for music, movies, games, VR, and more.
Compare Multiple Settings
- A/B comparison is a widely used method to objectively hear the changes you are making to your audio and help you to make better decisions, nondestructively.
- A to H Switching: Melda has taken this to the next level. Have up to 8 instances of the plug-in, copy/paste the A to H slots and freely switch between them.
- A to D Morphing: You can also morph between the first 4 slots with an X-Y pad. Not sure which preset to choose? You could load 4 and find the perfect blend of all of them. Not sure if A or B sounds better? You might prefer an interpolated state somewhere between the two.
Smart Randomization
Melda's state of the art randomization system gives you complete control. You can randomize parameters in 3 ways:
- Complete full randomization of everything
- Subtle small random changes to your current state
- Smart randomization
Melda's smart randomization engine learns—using information based on existing presets, it can offer different values that will result in new changes. You can even lock certain parameters that you wish to be excluded from the randomization. This level of control can really help you out when you have a creative block and offer up fresh and inspiring ideas.
Unique Visualization Engine
Melda's comprehensive metering system is extremely flexible and delivers accurate information when you need it. From classic meters to time-based graphs, you will see important visual feedback including: input and output, stereo width, loudness, waveforms, frequency bands, gain reduction and sidechain, and some plug-in dependent meters.
