Tired of having to do all this work to create an expressive drum loop from scratch that'll fit your song? Having to go through all the folders to find perfect sounds, having to arrange them in a pattern, processing them individually, adjusting the shape & the timing to make everything sound expressive & energetic & after all that, still not feeling satisfied with what you made, still feeling like it's not that fitting, that it could be better? Say less. Voltage will do that exact process for you with a press of a button. It will pick the sounds, pick the pattern, process sounds with effects & spit out a song-ready drum loop that you can reroll until it perfectly fits your song.

The plugin

General overview

After you load your library, hit the dice, it will pick the sounds from it, arrange them into a pattern, apply up to 14 effects per sound with variation per hit, apply post processing & spit out a ready-made drum loop. Hit one button to reroll all or just sounds, patterns or FX or particular sounds individually, edit the sequence, the effects per hit, add post-processing, do crazy automations with custom effects & adjust the randomization ranges to get insane drums that'll perfectly fit your songs.

Mess

Made by producers for producers

Most plugins that use randomization give you a chaotic, unpredictable mess. We made sure that does not happen within this plugin. You always get usable patterns with usable sounds that sound creative & unique on every single reroll.

Why Voltage?

✕Without Voltage
✓With Voltage
Having to spend time & energy clicking through folders to find the perfect sounds that fit your song.
Hitting one button until you stumble upon something that fits.
Manually clicking in the MIDI notes or aligning sounds on the timeline to create a pattern that's ultimately hard to make feel alive.
The pattern gets picked by itself from a big library of premade patterns that instantly work & can be rerolled with one button (you can also make it random, but still usable).
Assigning sounds individually per hit, then having to go through the folder hell again & manually replacing them when you want to swap the sounds.
The sounds get assigned automatically & you reroll until you find the sound selection that you like.
Having to manually automate timing, shape, dynamics & effects of each hit to get a drum loop that feels expressive & rich.
All effects, shape & timing get automated per hit automatically & can be rerolled for variation with one click.
Having to spend 30 minutes or even an hour to create a really expressive, creative drum loop that fits your song, killing your flow & inspiration, wasting your time & making you feel resistant towards producing.
Takes a few seconds, keeping you inspired & in the flow.
Takes skill to produce a really good drum loop & at the end of the day you may still not be satisfied.
We set up the plugin so that every single hit gives you a song-ready drum loop.
