TESTIMONIALS

LEKTRIQUE

Very cool percussive generator! I love making snare rolls and randomizing the noise seed to introduce subtle variations so it feels more organic.

DANIEL MYER

Within seconds I found the right snare for my track. Endless scrolling through samples finally has an end. I am really surprised and I love the easy interface. Highly recommend this!!!

Swede of 808 Mafia

This plugin crafts unique, high-quality snare sounds and gives you endless sonic possibilities for any genre!! Great tool!!

GRAPHYT

Perfect plugin to get creative with snares. Instant inspirations with the random knob, this one is going to my favorites list.

MODESTEP

As someone who usually synthesizes all of his snares, I am so glad that someone has made a plugin that takes all of the hard work out of it.. and makes it fun and creative! I can’t wait to spend hours coming up with new recipes for snare sounds!

7DeadlySnares is the first plugin of the award-winning musicians and developers based behind the Playground and BEATSURFING.

Recognizing the cliched struggle to find the perfect snare, we took a new approach. We created distinct snare styles for various genres, resulting in 7 unique snare engines.
