UJAM Releases Virtual Drummer Neon for Nu Disco & Pop

UJAM has announced the release of Virtual Drummer Neon, a new instrument in its Virtual Drummer Series. It targets contemporary pop, nu disco, synthwave, funk, and dance productions. Neon merges the punch of electronic drum machines with the dynamics of a live drummer. As a result, producers can access polished drum tracks without complex programming.

Combining Electronic Precision and Human Groove

Recording real drums often requires a proper kit, room, and microphones. UJAM simplifies this process with pre-recorded performances that feel natural and customizable. Neon is inspired by modern production techniques that blend programmed precision with acoustic expression. Therefore, it suits styles like nu disco and synth-pop perfectly.

Features and Performance Tools

Neon includes five customizable drum kits and hundreds of performance-ready grooves. Its drag-and-drop MIDI editing lets you tweak any pattern with ease. Moreover, the new Glam control adjusts the sound from natural acoustic to polished, radio-ready punch. Mix presets also provide quick starting points for production.
