Meet VRAC+, the Complete Drumify Solution
VRAC+ takes the same idea as VRAC, feed it any sound, get back a drum kit and gives you the full toolkit to push it further. Load a sample, auto-slice it to find every hit, and sculpt each pad by morphing across a full bank of kick, snare, hat and clap models.
Where VRAC gets you a kit fast, VRAC+ lets you actually design the sound behind it, hit by hit, output by output.
Why VRAC+?
Kits in minutes: skip the sample-browsing rabbit hole and get to a playable kit fast.
Any audio becomes drums: raw, unprocessed sound turned into expressive, stage-ready material.
A full bank of morphing models: blend across kicks, snares, hats and claps to land on the exact character you’re after.
Real sound design, not just presets: open the hood on every model, reshape tone, texture, transient and dynamics until the kit is unmistakably yours.
Global Key Features
Drumify Any Sample: your own recordings, DAW input, or the VRAC+ sample library, anything can become the seed of a kit.
Auto Slicing: the slicer finds every percussive, with a sensitivity control to tune how many slices it detects.
Drumification Models: morph across a large bank of kick, snare, hat and clap models to sculpt every hit.
Sound Design Tools: get under the hood of each model, Warp its dynamic envelope, shape its Impact, add Instability for human variation, and push Tone Shift, Super and EQ to finish the sound.
Global Shaping: steer the whole kit at once with global Tone Shift, Filter, Transpose and Volume, mix-ready in seconds.
What's New in VRAC+ ?
VRAC+ isn’t just an augmented version of VRAC, it’s a deeper instrument built for people who want to live inside the sound. Here’s what sets it apart:
Auto-Slicing. Instead of hunting for the sample start by hand, let VRAC+’s slicer detect every transient in your source, then jump between hits with the arrow keys or land on a random one to keep things fresh.
Record In. Capture audio directly from your DAW, route a track or a live input to VRAC+’s sidechain/audio input and hit REC. No more bouncing files back and forth: your takes land straight in your recorded-samples folder, ready to drumify.
A real sample library. Beyond your own files and recordings, dig into a curated library of sounds recorded specifically for VRAC+.
16 pads, full control. Double the pads of the free version, each with its own dedicated shaping tools : Warp, Impact, Instability, Tone Shift, Super, and a 3-band EQ.
Multi-Out Mixing. Every pad gets its own stereo output pair, 8 in total, so you can send each drum to its own channel and mix the kit like a real multitrack session, then drag to export the whole kit at once.
Built for Performance and Mixing
Every pad in VRAC+ can be triggered, automated and mixed like a proper instrument: MIDI Learn on any parameter, velocity mapped to Volume, Length and Tone Shift, choke groups, and one-click duplication of settings across pads or drumification models.
When the kit is ready, drag a single pad, or the whole 16-pad kit at once, straight into your DAW as audio files, with each pad routed through its own stereo output pair for full mixing flexibility.
Sound Library - We collaborated with Olivier Thys
We’ve known Olivier Thys for over twenty years. When we started dreaming up VRAC+, it just made sense: we had to build a sound library with him.
Olivier is a professional foley artist based in Brussels, and honestly one of the best in the film world, close to 300 productions under his belt, several nominations, and two Magritte Awards for Best Sound. He brought all of that knowledge, precision, and ear to this library
This library, available in VRAC+, isn’t just a pack of sounds, it’s real cinematic craft, rich and authentic textures ready for you to use and tweak right inside the plugin.
Upgrading from VRAC?
Already using VRAC? Every preset and preset pack you’ve built carries over — VRAC+ reads them natively, and VRAC can even load VRAC+ presets back (advanced settings are simply ignored on the free version). Making the switch removes the ceilings you’d hit with VRAC: 8 pads become 16, the single stereo output becomes 8 pairs, manual-only sample start becomes auto-slicing, and the fixed drumification blend becomes a full sound-design suite (Warp, Impact, Instability, Tone Shift, Super, 3-band EQ, Global Filter).
