2. What Is BEATSURFING VRAC+?
“One sound – One drum kit” — From a Single Sound to a Full Drum Kit
BEATSURFING VRAC+ is a sample-based drum machine that can turn any sound into a drum kit simply by loading it. It is the upgraded version of the free VRAC, covering everything from automatic sample slicing to serious per-pad sound design and 8-stereo-pair multi-out — all within a single plugin. Once a sample is loaded, the Auto Slicer automatically detects percussive moments, and by morphing between kick, snare, hi-hat, and clap models, you can quickly create original drum kits that keep the character of your source material.
Key Features
- Auto Slicer: an automatic slicer with a Sensitivity control detects percussive transients. It also supports moving between slices with the arrow keys and random slice selection.
- Load samples up to 60 minutes long (the free version is limited to 60 seconds).
- Record audio from your DAW (up to 2 minutes). Use your own recordings, sounds from your DAW, or the included library as sources.
- 16-pad layout (the free version has 8 pads). Velocity can be mapped to Volume, Length, and Tone Shift.
- Supports choke groups and one-click duplication of pad settings.
- 8-stereo-pair multi-out (the free version has 1 stereo pair) for serious mixing in your DAW.
- Drag & drop export: drag out individual pads or the entire kit.
- Global controls: shape the whole kit with Global Tone Shift and a DJ-style low-pass / high-pass filter.
Per-Pad Sound Design Tools
VRAC+ lets you use the following sound design tools individually on each of the 16 pads.
- Warp: 3-band dynamic reshaping
- Impact: transient shaping
- Instability: adds random variation to every hit
- Tone Shift: spectral shifting
- Super: saturation & stereo widening
- 3-band EQ
Included Sample Library
VRAC+ ships with a curated sample library created in collaboration with professional foley artist Olivier Thys. Rich, authentic textures crafted with cinematic artistry can be used directly as sources in VRAC+.
