MDrummer

What MDrummer is

MDrummer is a drum machine and virtual drummer for arranging drum tracks and real-time performance. Its sound engine combines sampling, synthesis, and generators to create drums, percussion, and effects. It can generate and combine rhythms, add background percussion, and shape them with humanization and shuffle controls. Performances can be directed with MIDI commands, an integrated sequencer, or by jamming with MDrummer. The hybrid sequencer has nine pattern tracks. MDrummer can analyze and import sample libraries, while its add-ons provide samples, multisamples, rhythms, drumsets, and loops. It runs as a plugin on 64-bit Windows and macOS with VST, VST3, AU, and AAX interfaces. The maker lists compatibility with FL Studio, Reaper, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, Pro Tools, and Logic. A 15-day trial is available; the listed price is $280, paid once. The maker says purchases include free updates for life, and activation uses per-person license files without a dongle or internet access. MeldaProduction, founded in 2008 and based in Prague, Czech Republic, makes the product. Support resources include tutorials, a forum, PDF documentation, change lists, and system requirements.
