The Worlds Most Powerful Drum Layering Tool!
Stacker is a uniquely powerful drum layering plugin (VST/AU/AAX) that uses sampling and synthesis across multiple layers to create personalised drum sounds, from cutting-edge beats and finely honed vintage hits to cinematic-style SFX.
Import up to 3 different audio samples, combine ambient live recordings for composite drum layers, then combine these with Stacker’s synth engine featuring a powerful modelled analogue oscillator with separate noise generator for constructing sonically rich kicks, snare, hats, percussion and FX.
The plugin boasts three independent sample layers, a fully fledged analogue-style drum synthesiser, dynamic FX section, plus innovative tools like Scatter (intelligent time displacement) and Pump (delay and impulse sculpting).
With smart global editing, flexible modulation, free-form curve-enhanced envelopes, precise filters, dedicated stereo tools and macro assignments for instant tweaks, this is the world’s most compelling sound layering tool for drums.
Stacker is the perfect drum layering tool for anyone writing all types of EDM (eg. Trap, Tech-House, Trance, Industrial, Techno etc.), Hip Hop, Rap, Cinematic, Sound Design & much more!
