Beatmaker EDEN is a comprehensive and intuitive virtual instrument that enables producers of all ability levels to quickly and easily construct complete electronic drum tracks in perfect sync with the host DAW. Having loaded one of five included drum kits – each one comprising 16 instruments: kicks, snares, toms, etc – simply select any of 25 groove styles, then trigger 24 MIDI note-assigned song parts (intros, verses, choruses, fills, outros, etc) as required, using your Launchpad or keyboard, to build up your song. Alternatively, make your own grooves from scratch by triggering or programming the kit’s one-shot instrument sounds individually. Or combine the two approaches!

Per-instrument Volume, Decay and Pitch controls let you tweak the individual kit elements, while raising the mod wheel on your keyboard makes Beatmaker EDEN’s internal ‘drummer’ lower the playing intensity. Under the hood, a powerful mixing console shapes the overall sound, with six descriptively named presets (Stun, Laser, Solar et al) adjusting hundreds of parameters for a variety of sonic flavours. Filter and reverb effects can be used to work in sweeps, builds and drops, and the Kick Pump slider introduces sidechain compression.

For beginners to music production, and more experienced artists looking to get dance music beats together in a hurry, Beatmaker EDEN delivers superb-sounding drums and a wealth of ready-to-go patterns in a powerful interface that offers more in the way of customisation than appearances might suggest.

“I really like the concept behind Eden, an all in one sketchpad for ideas that you can quickly export into audio within the DAW environment. For some this tool is powerful enough to write a full track with, for others it will be a source of inspiration. For me I really liked getting the individual sounds out and manipulating further as audio files. The drums layout means that it also works great with Launchpads as you can trigger individual sounds with the each pad.”
