UJAM makes virtual session players. You give one a chord and a style, it plays a part. Not a sample library you have to program note by note, and not a loop pack you are stuck with. Something between the two.
The pitch is speed. A drum track that would take an hour to program takes about a minute, and it sounds like someone played it. For songwriters, that is the difference between capturing an idea and losing it.
Each Virtual Drummer is a different player with a different kit and a different feel, rather than one instrument with presets. Choose a groove, adjust the intensity, drop in fills where you need them.
The range covers rock, metal, funk, pop, hip-hop, indie and electronic. Each title includes the kit, the room, the mixing and a set of grooves that fit the genre. You do not need to know how to program drums, and you do not need to know what a drummer would actually play — which is where most programmed drums fall down.
The same idea for guitar, and the more impressive of the two. Programming convincing guitar is genuinely hard: strum direction, voicing, fret position and playing noise all have to be right or it sounds like a keyboard.
Virtual Guitarist handles all of it. Feed it chords, choose a playing style, and it produces a part with the right voicings and articulations. The range spans acoustic strumming, electric rhythm, funk, metal and picked parts.
Bass parts that follow your chords with the right note choices and playing technique — fingered, picked, slapped, muted. The quickest of the three to get a usable result from, because bass parts are more predictable than drums or guitar.
Beatmaker is UJAM's beat production line, built around genre-specific kits and pattern engines for hip-hop, trap, house and pop.
Finisher is a different thing entirely: a multi-effect that applies large, character-heavy processing chains from a single control. Useful for turning a plain part into something with identity, less useful when you want precision.
UJAM also produces symphonic and cinematic instruments, and a range of synths and keys.
Buy them if you write songs and need convincing backing parts quickly, you produce to deadline, or you play one instrument and need the others. Also worth it if you are demoing arrangements before booking real players.
Skip them if you want deep control over every note. These instruments trade precision for speed by design. You can edit what they play, but you are working with a session player rather than a piano roll, and if you already know exactly the part you want, programming it yourself will be faster.
A software instrument that plays drum parts for you. Rather than programming individual hits, you choose a style and a groove and the instrument performs a part with realistic timing, dynamics and fills. UJAM's Virtual Drummer range gives each title its own player, kit and genre.
A sample library gives you recorded notes that you assemble yourself. Virtual Guitarist takes the chords you play and generates a performance with correct voicings, strum patterns, articulations and playing noise. You are directing a player rather than placing notes.
No. You need to know your chords and your song structure. The instrument handles the technique, which is the point.
Within limits. You can change style, intensity, groove and fills, and drag MIDI out to edit further in your DAW. What you cannot do is control every note the way a piano roll would. That trade is deliberate.
Whichever instrument you cannot play. Most songwriters start with Virtual Drummer because programming convincing drums is the hardest part of demoing alone. If you already program drums confidently, Virtual Guitarist saves more time.
