ASJPlugs has announced the release of version 2.0 of Mandelbrot Drummer VST Rhythm Maker, a plug-in for computer musicians who want to experiment with drum patterns to find interesting rhythms for their music.
Mandelbrot Drummer is based around a simple idea. Groups of drum hits are placed across an image of a Mandelbrot fractal. The velocity of each hit is related to the color intensity of the underlying fractal. The variation in color intensity (i.e. velocity) across the fractal imparts subtle and unexpected rhythms which can mimic a human drummer.
When working on a music project it can be frustrating and unproductive to trawl through hundreds of drum clips looking for something with the right feel. Many musicians find that constructing patterns from scratch in a piano roll editor is a difficult task. Based around a simple concept, Mandelbrot Drummer is an alternative way to make rhythm patterns and is designed to be a practical tool for computer musicians.
Pricing & Availability
Mandelbrot Drummer costs $19.00 and is available for Windows as a VST instrument plug-in.
