99Sounds releases free "Drumplayer" for Mac & Win VST & AU

99Sounds has announced the release of Drumplayer, a free VST instrument plugin that integrates drum sounds from the 99 Drum Samples library. The plugin aims to provide a straightforward interface to craft drum loops.

The concept was born from a desire to create a user-friendly drum instrument with production-ready drum kits. The plugin was created in collaboration with SampleScience, known for its sample-based instruments:

• Drumplayer is equipped with 20 drum kits, including 808, 909, vinyl, electronic, tape, and other drum styles. These kits suit various genres, including hip-hop, electronic, lo-fi, glitch, and experimental.
• The plugin also includes a set of drums sampled from the Commodore 64 and a Nintendo Game Boy.
• Every kit contains 14 drum sounds encompassing kicks, snares, hi-hats, cymbals, and percussion.
• The kits can be customized with a 14-channel mixer. The mixer has volume and stereo pan controls per channel. Furthermore, drums can be routed to AUX channels for added processing within the DAW.
• While Drumplayer offers global pan and volume controls, users can also access distortion, filtering, reverb, delay, and other built-in effects.
• Additionally, there is an option for note velocity range adjustments and an LFO for modulation.

Drumplayer supports 32-bit and 64-bit VST and AU plugin hosts on Windows and macOS.
