What it is
PHAT 2 is a virtual drummer instrument from UJAM built for hip-hop and funk production. It generates full grooves, fills, and breaks from its own pattern library rather than requiring you to program every hit, drawing on 200 presets across 60 musical styles for a total of 1,380 rhythmic patterns.
Who it's for
Producers making hip-hop, funk, or other urban-leaning tracks who want a fast way to lay down authentic-sounding drum grooves without manually programming beats or owning a full sample library. It also suits anyone who wants a quick foundation they can then customize by hand.
Key features
- Five drum kits each with six character presets give a range of tonal options
- Phrases drag and drop straight into your DAW timeline for quick arranging
- An enhanced mixer offers individual volume control over each drum element, alongside a master section with saturation and a maximizer for shaping the overall sound
- Swing, feel, and humanization controls let you nudge programmed patterns away from a mechanical feel, and the kit editor lets you swap and tweak individual sounds, and it runs as a standalone app or plugin on macOS 10.14+ and Windows 10+
