What is Emergent Drums 2?

Emergent Drums 2 is a revolutionary plugin that uses A.I. to generate infinite drum samples.

Every sample is created from scratch

Every sample is created from scratch

Our cutting-edge generative models are trained to design novel drum samples from scratch, bit by bit. No source recordings are used to generate the samples, so each one is truly original.

Get variations on existing samples

Get variations on existing samples

With our transformative Deep Sampling technology, you can create countless variations of samples from your personal collection. Simply drag-in an existing sample, set the similarity slider, and click generate for infinite options.

Harness two revolutionary models

Harness two revolutionary models

Emergent Drums 2 features two infinite sound models, each with a distinctive sound. Creamy features beautiful, shimmering cymbals, deep, full-body kicks, and snares that snap and pop. Crunchy brings you drums with high energy noise, grit, and glitches for an otherworldly and experimental sound. Use both to design the perfect kit.

An instrument of the future

An instrument of the future

Emergent Drums 2 isn't just a sample generator – it's a fully-featured 16-pad instrument you can play via MIDI, complete with multi-out support so you can shape each pad on its own channel. And with built-in support for sample layering and effects like clipping, filtering, and pitch-shifting, you can sculpt your samples to perfection.

Versatile enough for any workflow

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Emergent Drums 2?
Emergent Drums 2 is a modern drum sample generation plugin. You can create endless drum samples of any type, finetune, and then control the variation of each generation.
How does Emergent Drums 2 work?
Our AI model is trained on a large database of drum/percussion samples and can now generate a practically infinite number of unique drum samples from scratch. From the Emergent Drums 2 interface, select the type of drum sample you want to generate (e.g. snare or kick) and the AI will create a completely new, random sample of that type. If you find a sample that's almost right, you can generate similar samples using the power of our generative deep learning AI models. You can then sculpt the sample further with envelopes, pitching, panning, and clipping to make something perfectly suited to your sample design needs.
What drum samples can I generate?
Emergent Drums 2 can generate kicks, snares, claps, closed hi-hats, open hi-hats, cymbals, other percussion - even noise and glitches. We're always working to improve our model, adding more drum samples and customization.
How many samples can I generate?
As many as you'd like. Once you own Emergent Drums 2, you can use the plugin to generate endless samples.
Does it work offline?

Can I save samples I generate to my computer?
