Here's also an improvised track I made last year, all drums/percussion 100% Emergent Drums:

Too long; didn't read. If you're lucky enough to get someone's attention, maybe have some respect for their time. I know you're just trying to emulate marketing you've seen elsewhere, but if you hung around forums like this you might notice a lot of us dislike that kind of marketing. If you've made something worth selling or sharing, you owe it to yourself to do better.

EDIT The post above is somewhat more concise than what I was reacting to. It has been edited several times and I commend the OP for that.

Could be the best drum plugin in the world, but I both first heard about it and got put off it in the same post. That copy is as bad as the “I’ve got a melody for you” MIDI library ad bloke and anything the Drum Monkey shills spewed.

The dev has been messing around with various marketing approaches. It feels to me like the person who started this maybe partnered with someone else who is responsible for the marketing. At least to me it seems like there were a few different changes to the marketing and launch approach since this product was revealed.

For me it doesn't matter because I don't want to spend money on something that is so critically tied to a "cloud" process. But YMMV. Could be a good source for an "infinite" amount of one-shots.

Jesus. It's like they ran their marketing through their neural network too.

No way this is officially sanctioned though.

In all seriousness: It's actually a pretty nice plugin with huge potential IMO. Still very early in the development cycle and I agree that the cloud part is a serious downside (not just as a user, it also is a cost driver for Audialab because they need to pay for server time).

Still, I bought into it a few weeks ago to see where it goes. My personal vision would be to be able to set various descriptive parameters and have it generate a drum sound or be able to drop an existing sample in and have it generate mutations of it. I'm reasonably confident this dev can get there eventually.

To compare my bizarre parody of the countless e-mails I got regarding another drum vst (which I then edited and spiced up with pictures)

with the likes of the Youtube ads like Unison Audio's ”Pro Level Chords” and Niko's MIDI Chord pack: ’You want a happy melody? I got you!” goes to show that my marketing skills, are actually great. Why?

Because there are countless videos out there by famous youtubers showing us how bad Unison Audio's products really are and warning us all about them, the following video about the subject is really funny:

Remember I only made a parody of another drum vst in the intro of this thread,
this guy has been spamming me about his upcoming drum vst EVERYDAY, so when messing around with Emergent Drums I only put two and two together and naturally made fun of this very type of marketing strategy in my post!

Did they hire the dudes who made the Beat Kang to do their marketing?

I got dizzy scrolling, and I just can't pay any more attention to it.

Had a quick look at the YouTube videos on this. Looks like it needs some development... will be interesting to follow.

The idea of creating a hybrid of two or three percussion samples in a manner other than layering is interesting, i.e. in a way which doesn't create phase-related dullness or unwanted artefacts. I can imagine an AI doing a better job.

I could also imagine an AI being able to create velocity layers for hybrid drum sounds which mimic the expressive changes of acoustic instruments.

It's on 1.4.1 now and you can now drag-and-drop all 16 samples to DAW at once, which is a hige workflow improvement IMO. Fiddle with your drum set in Emergent Drums and then drag it all into a drum rack and continue tweaking and adding effects.

Also added multi-out, midi-mapping and VST2...
