Producers, regardless of their experience, have distinct strengths and weaknesses in the studio. At UJAM, the team understands that the creative process can often be riddled with challenges, which is why they focus on developing products that enhance efficiency in music production workflows.
Creating the perfect rhythm is crucial for any music producer. It serves as the backbone and groove that draws in listeners, and a compelling beat can significantly elevate a song’s quality. UJAM has thoughtfully designed its Beatmaker plugin collection with the needs of both producers and their audiences in mind. When users visit the official UJAM website, they can select a style and pack that best suits their sound. With options ranging from dubstep to lo-fi hip-hop, cyberpunk, pop, and beyond, producers can find an all-in-one plugin tailored for their percussive needs. Priced originally at $69, most packs are currently offered at a 44% discount, enabling creators to access diverse styles and plugins to enhance their workflow.
Each plugin boasts a unique design and graphics that reflect its specific style and genre. For BERSERK, the dubstep offering, the aesthetic features a black and purple color scheme with a holographic skeleton as its centerpiece. When manipulating the Devastate/ Squish parameter, the skeleton’s head moves in sync with the sound, introducing visual flair and an analog distortion effect to the samples. While all plugins share a similar layout and functionality, each is tailored with distinct graphics and FX options that resonate with the genre it represents.
Once a producer selects the desired plugin and style for download, UJAM provides an abundance of options within their Beatmaker series. Each instrument includes a variety of presets that allow users to explore different vibes and patterns all within a single tool. The Mix and Kit areas enable further navigation through presets while allowing for fine-tuning adjustments to the style and sound.
At the lower section of the plugin, a suite of FX parameters allows users to refine their sound and experiment with individual elements as well as the Master output. With controls for Volume, Decay, Pitch, Filter, Sweep, Saturate, Maximize, and Ambience, users can opt for manual tweaks or select from a range of presets designed to streamline their workflow.
A key feature of the UJAM Beatmakers collection is the intuitive ability to write melodies, trigger loops, and easily manipulate presets within the plugins. The primary keyboard layout is divided, with individual samples assigned to C1 and C2, while C3 and C4 are dedicated to loops. The loop selection is categorized into Intros, Fills, Endings, and Breakdowns, facilitating quick navigation during critical moments in a track. Notably, the samples and loops can be effortlessly dragged into a DAW, with MIDI files instantly generating on the track.
Producers can interact with the lower half of the keyboard using a mouse click or an external controller, while the upper half serves for MIDI files. By clicking and dragging a key to the track, the associated MIDI populates, making it easy for producers to incorporate loops and modify them while preserving the inspiration sparked by UJAM. This user-friendly interface not only provides a powerful percussion tool but also offers limitless inspiration for creators seeking to elevate their songwriting and quickly adjust the samples and loops in their projects.
