FREE · DRUMS MODE · VST3 / AU

Free drum effects plugin. Drums that hit different.

DRUMS mode pushes your drums somewhere new with every twist: brighter, thicker, clipped, distorted, wider or morphed. Put it on a break or your drum bus and go from boring to big in seconds.

What DRUMS does.

Brighter

Lifts the snap and the hats so the loop cuts through.

Thicker

Fills out the body of kicks and snares.

Clipped + distorted

From gentle soft clipping to full grit, for loud, punchy drums.

Wider + morphed

Spreads the kit out in stereo, or bends it into something new.

How to get the sound.

  1. Load SCRAMBLE on a drum loop, a break or your drum bus and pick DRUMS.
  2. Twist the cube. Each position is a different mix of brightness, weight, clipping and width.
  3. Use MIX for parallel processing: keep the dry hit and blend the colour in.

SCRAMBLE is out now, and it's free.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. DRUMS is one of the 8 FX modes in the free version of SCRAMBLE, with 237 presets.

Is it a drum clipper?

Clipping is part of it. This mode also brightens, thickens, distorts and widens, so it's more of a drum colour box.

Will it change my levels?

Some positions are louder, so check with the OUT knob. The previews below are level-matched so you hear the change, not just volume.

Does it work on Mac and Windows?

Yes. Mac gets VST3 and AU (Apple Silicon and Intel). Windows gets VST3 plus a standalone app. It loads in FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro and other DAWs. Not Pro Tools yet (no AAX).

When can I download it?

It's out now. Grab the free Mac + Windows download at scrambleplugin.com/download, or play the real engine in your browser first.
