Gummy Drum

Groove SunShine!

Gummy Drum GrooveBox is a hands-on instrument for drums, synths and musical discovery. Begin with a beat, choose a key and let the dice suggest a new direction. Keep what you love and shape it into something of your own.

FIND YOUR GROOVE
Choose House, Dub, Broken, Teknonono, Pop, Drum & Bass or Gamelan Garden drum composers. D8 offers a calmer starting point; D12 brings more variety. Edit individual hits and give each drum its own sound.

MAKE SOUNDS THAT BELONG TOGETHER
Generate a drum kit around your music’s tuning. Explore five percussion engines and individual sound presets, alongside synth parts and a piano roll linked to your key and mode. Auto JI offers tuning that follows the musical context, with an optional pitch–tempo lock to explore pitch and rhythm together.

PUT YOUR HANDS INTO IT
Play notes, move the dials and record their movement. Balance your instruments in the mixer, with pre-fader reverb and delay sends. Add sections in Song and use the same transport to follow your music.

START WITH A LITTLE GUIDANCE
The optional Deep Groove lesson introduces the real controls through one section. Choose your own notes and sounds, skip any step, or simply start playing.

PLAY YOUR WAY
Use the standalone instrument or the GrooveBox AUv3 in a compatible host. Connect MIDI controllers and use Ableton Link for shared musical timing. Export stereo 24-bit WAV at 48 or 96 kHz.

Intoned, tempered, and aligned with tempi. Shaped to my personal palette, with the hope that you’ll want to dance, move, sway or groove.

Vesper Player, including your saved sounds, is included with GrooveBox. Full sound editing inside Gummy and its GrooveBox AU is an optional one-time purchase, with Family Sharing and Restore purchases. This editor purchase does not include the standalone Vesper app or credit toward a later app or app-bundle purchase.

Already own Vesper? Check owner access before paying for the editor. The complimentary owner offer is not currently available; owning or opening Vesper alone does not unlock the editor. Standalone Vesper is sold separately. A Gummy + Vesper app bundle is not available yet.

Download additional free Vesper sound banks at fishtailmidi.com/vesper and import them into Vesper Player in Gummy. No editor purchase is needed to import and play these sounds.
