UJAM Funk Bundle (Phat, Sparkle)

Full Description

Virtual Drummer Phat

Always sound your best

A myriad of flexible tonal shaping options are presented to ensure you can find the right sound, regardless of your mix, style or genre. Five distinctive drum kits have been carefully chosen to help deliver the power and punch that contemporary drum production requires. Each of these kits can be mixed and matched using up to four different kit pieces, allowing you to create a hybrid setup, stamping out a sonic signature for your productions. Encompassing a wide range of advanced kit editing, mixing and mastering sections to help further sculpt and shape your tone, Phat is every producer's dream. Easily tweakable FX let you add compression, saturation, ambience and reverb to individual parts of the kit or the entire drum bus for a more global impact on your sound design. For experienced sound designers, and mixing and mastering engineers, Phat offers multi-out capabilities, letting you process your tracks independently using third party plug-ins and processors to get the exact sound you're after. Conversely, less proficient engineers and producers can take advantage of one of the six onboard mix presets, curated by industry professionals to add extra punch, weight and sheen to your drums with one click.

The gold-standard

Getting the sound right at the source is the key to achieving professional mixes that sound radio-ready. Using a collection of the highest quality drums, recording studio, recording equipment and drummers, Phat delivers a sophisticated sound that's ideal for a wide range of groovy musical genres. Only the best in class was used for the recording of this session, using what many would call the 'desert island' drums of choice, capturing each hit with incredible detail and nuance. Ideal for songwriters, musicians or producers, Phat will instantly unlock the sound of professional recordings, helping you to carve a name for yourself in the industry to drive your career forward.

The only substitute for a world-class drummer

Recording and engineering drums come with their own unique set of challenges. The space, noise levels and equipment needed all create difficulties for most musicians without access to a professional recording studio 24 hours a day. Knowing this, the UJAM's Virtual Drummer Phat has been meticulously recorded to provide you with a plethora of different beats and phrases to cover a wide range of urban genres. Helping you to get your ideas recorded faster than ever, Phat comes with over 1380 patterns and rhythms in 60 unique styles, spanning everything from funk, hip-hop, G-funk, retro-soul and much more. Encompassed within the phrases included with UJAM Phat, there are independent sections for common song structures, including intros, verses, choruses, fills and endings to help you quickly identify the right groove to build the foundation of your song.

Virtual Guitarist Silk

Get realistic results faster than ever

No matter your skillset or production knowledge, Sparkle has been designed to let you get studio-ready results in a matter of minutes. No deep menu diving, complicated non-musical terms or clustered interfaces, just a simple layout that offers easy tweaking to get the sound you want fast.

Providing you with only a few key controls, you are awarded the flexibility to customise the performance of your Virtual Guitarist to get realistic results quickly. Two simple Swing and Feel parameters let you hone in on the groove to sit within the pocket of your composition with ease. Taking it one step further, Virtual Guitarist Sparkle also allows you to tweak the Play Position and Fret Noise level for an added layer of realism and depth in your sound.

The only substitute for world-class studio guitarists

Getting radio-ready guitar tones has never been easier for non-guitarists! As well as having the same feel as a world-class performer, Sparkle sounds just as good. Comprised of a meticulously sampled, engineered and recorded instrument and five unique hand-picked amplifier types, you're always guaranteed a classy tone full of vibrancy and character. Everything from Clean to Rough is included to give you a full palette of tones to work with. Each tone can be customised using the onboard effects including the signature Drive and Grit algorithms, helping to boost your tone into a more crunchy territory to cut through dense mixes. Additionally, time and spatial effects including Delay, Chorus, Reverb and Doubling are all on hand to give your sound a place within your stereo field. The perfect tool for just about any composer, Sparkle lets you traverse everything from '60s classic rock, and '70s disco through '00s indie and pop with ease.

Composers best friend

Guitarists often play several different ways to achieve their sound. From complex chords, octaves or single-note riffs, many different techniques make up a performance. Giving you access to more than 1000 different characteristics in 98 different styles, Virtual Guitarist Sparkle will help you strut through chords, octaves or just about anything else you might need to help your production pop.

The sounds of an American classic

Only the best in class will do when it comes to studio recording, and Sparkle is no exception. Recorded using an American industry classic, the sound of the single-coil pickups is exactly the remedy for indie, country, pop and disco tunes. Customised to create the celebrated 'bell-like' sound, the Sparkle Virtual Guitarist lets you instantly unlock the signature sound of professional recordings. Four pickup positions have been included for every style, letting you navigate the perfect sound for your recordings.
