Start your musical journey with ErsDrums by ERS – a virtual instrument that redefines the creation of drum parts, foregoing traditional samples in favor of real-time synthesis.
Unique Sound Thanks to Synthesis
Unlike many sample-based drum machines, ErsDrums generates each drum sound “on the fly.” This opens up endless possibilities for sound design. You are not limited to recorded sounds; you can shape and change each element of the drum kit, creating unique, one-of-a-kind timbres that will perfectly suit your track. This approach also makes the plugin extremely lightweight and efficient.
Complete Set of Percussion Instruments
ErsDrums is equipped with everything you need to create full drum parts. At your disposal:
- Two Kick options
- Two types of Snare
- Two unique “Blipp” sounds
- Clap
- Claves
- Hihat with open and closed sound options
- Crash
This set allows you to create a variety of rhythmic patterns, from classic beats to experimental patterns, using authentic synthesized sound.
Flexibility and Control: Individual Outputs and MIDI Capabilities
For professional mixing and maximum flexibility, ErsDrums offers individual output channels for each individual drum sound. This means you can route each instrument (kick, snare, hi-hat, etc.) to a separate track in your DAW. This approach allows you to apply specific effects, compression, equalization, and other processing to each element of the kit separately, achieving the perfect balance and character of the sound in the mix.
The plugin also supports “Key Mode,” which simplifies assigning sounds to a MIDI keyboard or controller.
ErsDrums provides complete control via MIDI. You can select a separate MIDI channel for each drum, which is useful when using multitimbral setups or controlling multiple instances of the plugin. MIDI automation support allows you to record and edit sound parameter changes directly in the sequencer, adding dynamics and expressiveness to your parts. The MIDI Learn function makes assigning parameters to physical MIDI controllers quick and intuitive.
Compatibility and Conclusion
ErsDrums is compatible with the VST 2.3 standard and is designed to work in Windows operating systems (32-bit). It is a reliable tool that easily integrates into your workflow if you use the appropriate DAW and OS.
Overall, ErsDrums by ERS is more than just virtual drums. It is a tool for creative experimentation, offering unique synthesized sound, complete control over each sound thanks to individual outputs and advanced MIDI functions. If you are looking for an alternative to sample drum machines and want to create your own, original drum sounds, ErsDrums is worth your attention.
