UJAM NEON Loyalty Offer (Digitalt produkt)

Hits Like a Drum Machine. Grooves Like a Drummer.

Introducing NEON, UJAM’s Virtual Drummer plugin designed specifically for nu disco and dance-pop grooves. Experience tight, snappy drum sounds that sit perfectly in the mix, delivering a driving, forward rhythmic feel.

Inspired by the iconic sounds of 1970s disco legends like Chic and The Bee Gees, NEON’s rhythm engine captures the organic liveliness that only a real human drummer can provide. The recorded drum kits feature original vintage kits from renowned manufacturers such as Ludwig and Rogers.

Each kit was meticulously recorded in a small booth using era-specific microphones and outboard processing equipment, including the Sennheiser MD 421 and Neve 1073. This pristine vintage drum quality is then enhanced by a state-of-the-art mixing console, controlled by six mix presets, creating NEON's signature sound through a blend of vintage recording techniques and modern processing.

Built-in Style Phrases

Unlike traditional acoustic sample libraries that require extensive velocity layering and manual ghost-note programming, NEON acts as a dynamic studio collaborator that responds to your performance intensity and style input.

Select from one of NEON’s 30 styles to match the energy level of your genre or song, and easily combine drum phrases for intros, verses, choruses, and more to quickly build your drum arrangement.

Drag any of the 23 phrases per style into your DAW as a MIDI clip for further editing, or trigger ready-made grooves—crafted from human performances—using single MIDI keys in sync with your DAW’s tempo.

Special Control

NEON features a unique Real/Glam-slider that allows you to adjust the drum kit’s sound from natural and acoustic to processed and electronic. The more “Glam” you add, the bigger and punchier the drums become.

Drum Kits & Mix Modes

NEON includes five meticulously selected, tuned, and recorded drum kits, designed to sound dry, tight, and punchy. Each kit features seven individual drum instruments, including kicks, snares, hats, toms, and cymbals, along with overhead and room mics.

Choose the perfect kit for your track or mix and match drums from different kits to create a unique sound. Then, select one of six mix presets to instantly shape your drum sound, from snappy and dry to crunchy and slammed.

Hand clapping is a vital element of both classic and modern disco sounds. NEON’s authentic claps, recorded live by a trio, combine a direct mono signal with stereo room and overhead mics, creating an ultra-wide stereo image that blends seamlessly with your snare.

Presets

Stay in the creative flow with NEON’s 100 presets, providing a solid starting point that requires minimal tweaking. Trigger a few drum phrases, all perfectly timed with your DAW, to elevate your song’s groove and match your production’s energy.

Alternatively, play NEON’s drums with your MIDI controller, edit the phrases in your DAW, and utilize separate outputs for each drum sound to customize your mix.
