We are excited to announce the next release of our Groove Butter series: the Maracas & Shakers.
This plugin features 105 unique shaker and maracas presets, carefully crafted from 1,725 meticulously recorded and sampled one-shots.
Each preset is playable over two octaves and is velocity-sensitive in a musical way. We recorded 11 shakers and 6 maracas with 5 microphones, as well as sampled 4 different drum machines. After running them through our saturation, compression, and cleaning process, we designed an intuitive GUI with 45 knobs for an enjoyable beat-making experience.
The plugin includes clean and classic-sounding maracas and shakers, as well as more synthetic or unusual options.
We also overworked some of them to achieve a modern or aggressive sound suitable for different genres. Add extra drama by using the pitch bend in combination with the useful effects available in the intuitive GUI design, including reverb, delay, and flanger.
The mid-section of the instrument features tone-focused effects, such as a compressor, a saturation unit, a powerful overdrive/distortion section, and low and hipass filters. On the left side of the instrument, you can shape the total mood of the drum sound by using tune, amplitude, and pitch envelopes, manage the sample speed, and add extra attack and punch to the drums with the transient shaper.
