Beatmaker Circuits £58 PC MAC
Ever wanted to create classic drum machine and vintage drum grooves but don’t have the know-how? We may have just the thing…
> Beatmaker Circuits is a new plugin that gives producers the ability to make vintage drum grooves, adding a classic touch to any genre, with a collection of analogue samples.
The plugin is simple to use once the basic principle of how Beatmaker works is learned. Circuits is best when paired with a MIDI keyboard or controller as the pitch and modulation wheels can be used to manipulate the tonal qualities of the drums. The keyboard section in Circuits is used to create drum grooves. The keys on the left-hand side (C1–D#2) play individual drum sounds, and the keys on the right-hand side, from C3 and up allow you to select various patterns that are named like the parts of a song. It’s recommended to start with Circuits with the Latch button on, as multiple patterns can be played until the Stop (B4) key is pressed.
