UVI Drum Replacer

UVI Drum Replacer

UVI Drum Replacer is an intelligent real-time drum replacement and enhancement plug-in designed to identify individual components within recorded drum material and trigger samples or virtual instruments with precision. Its machine-learning-based analysis creates spectral models of the incoming audio, allowing individual drum elements to be separated even within complex recordings.

Rather than relying solely on conventional transient detection, Drum Replacer analyzes the character of the source and tracks both gain and velocity. This makes it possible to replace or reinforce drums, reduce unwanted bleed, layer additional samples, generate sub-bass reinforcement or creatively transform an existing rhythm while retaining the dynamics of the original performance.

Up to eight internally hosted samples or virtual instruments can be triggered simultaneously, sequentially or randomly. Each layer includes level, pan and filtering controls, while adjustable positive and negative timing offsets allow sounds to be delayed or pre-triggered for tighter alignment. Integrated browsing, previews, favourites and preset management make large sample collections easy to navigate during mixing.
