UJAM releases Beatmaker 3: A Unified Platform for Beat Creation - Launches with "Chromed" Hyperpop Instrument
UJAM has announced the release of Beatmaker 3, an updated version of its virtual instrument series that brings all Beatmaker titles into a single, unified plugin with a redesigned interface and expanded browsing features. As part of the launch, UJAM also introduces Beatmaker Chromed, a virtual instrument developed for fast-paced, hyperpop-style production.
Used by tens of thousands of producers around the world, UJAM's Beatmaker series has become a go-to toolkit for creating genre-focused beats quickly and musically. Version 3 builds on that foundation by reimagining the series as a united platform — one that supports every stage of the creative process, from inspiration to export. With a refreshed interface, flexible routing, and tools designed to reduce friction and boost inspiration, Beatmaker 3 offers a more fluid and focused beatmaking experience.
This launch is just the beginning. Version 3 introduces a unified platform and the first steps toward cross-title browsing and content discovery. There's much more to come, and starting now, Beatmaker will continue to grow more powerful with every title a user owns.
