DRUMMER-1 LAUNCHES: ONE-CLICK DRUM PATTERN GENERATOR WITH BUILT-IN HUMANIZATION AND DUAL MIDI/AUDIO EXPORT

New Mac VST/AU Plugin Combines Algorithmic Pattern Generation, 7-Track Sequencer, and Four Included Genre Packs in $49.95 One-Time Purchase

---

CRB Labs, LLC today announced the launch of Drummer-1, a drum pattern generation and sequencing plugin for macOS that addresses two persistent challenges in modern beat production: the blank-grid problem and the robotic MIDI sound. Drummer-1 generates complete drum patterns algorithmically while offering hands-on editing, humanization controls, and the flexibility to export either MIDI for full DAW integration or audio for immediate use.

"Bedroom producers face a specific workflow bottleneck: opening a DAW to make a beat, staring at an empty drum grid, and either spending significant time programming drums from scratch or browsing endless loop libraries hoping to find the right fit," said Carl Brunson, founder of CRB Labs. "Drummer-1 addresses this by generating musically appropriate drum patterns on demand, with enough variation and editing control that no two producers end up with the same result."


KEY FEATURES
------------

- One-Click Pattern Generation -- Creates drum arrangements based on musical rules encoded in four included style packs. Each generation produces a unique pattern.

- 7-Track Step Sequencer (Up to 64 Steps) -- Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, Clap, Percussion and more. Edit velocity, groove timing, or individual hit placement.

- Humanize & Groove Controls -- Applies subtle timing shifts and velocity variations to combat the "perfect MIDI" problem. Per-track swing, shuffle, and tightness controls.

- Euclidean Rhythms -- Per-track Euclidean rhythm generation for polyrhythmic or mathematically distributed patterns.

- Dual Export: MIDI + Audio -- Export as MIDI for full DAW editing or audio WAV (24-bit) for immediate use.

- Four Included Genre Packs -- Bodega Vol 1 (Lo-Fi Hip Hop), UK Rave Vol 1 (Breakbeat), Bando Bands Vol 1 (Trap), Electro Vol 1 (House/Techno). No subscription required.


DEVELOPER QUOTE
---------------

"I built Drummer-1 to solve a specific problem I encountered repeatedly: opening a DAW, wanting to make a beat, and immediately hitting creative friction because the drum grid is blank. You can spend time programming drums manually, or you can browse loop libraries for 20 minutes trying to find something that fits. Drummer-1 removes that step -- you get a genre-appropriate pattern instantly, then spend your time refining it rather than building it from scratch."

-- Carl Brunson, Founder, CRB Labs


PERSONAL QUOTE
--------------

"I wasn't good at programming drums. I could write melodies, lay down chords, shape a mix -- but drums always slowed me down. When I started noticing that a lot of drum programming follows patterns, I kept thinking: this could be generative. The first version was a concept I built during grad school. After I graduated, I sat down and built it for real."

-- Carl Brunson, Founder, CRB Labs
