UJAM, makers of Virtual Dummers, Guitarists and Bassists have extended their super-useful range of production tools with the launch Groovemate ONE. It is the company’s first plug-in to their new series of virtual percussion including sounds like tambourines, shakers and one-shot shakers, as well as claps. Groovemate is intended to make tracks move and shake and enhance rhythmic feel.
“The fastest and easiest way to make choruses shine is to add percussion. That’s all Groovemate ONE does, but that it does well.” says Musical Director and Sound Designer Derek von Krogh.“With 30 styles made out of 4 percussive sounds, this simple production tool provides quintessential percussion for contemporary music. Like real-life percussionists, Groovemate ONE uses sophisticated patterns that work against or around the basic beat and emphasis, such as 3-over-4 and syncopations.”
The plug-in is immediately available in VST, AU, AAX plug-in formats for both macOS and Windows.
