DAW-gone it, I just downloaded session percussionist, but I don’t care. I’m getting this anyway. I can never have too many tools. This is how I make my living so it’ll pay for itself soon enough. I’m a plug-in junkie…a plunkie, and quite proud of it. 🤪🎶🎹♥️
Ideas have been borrowed: See Audiomodern Playbeat (magic wand and decimate), various euclidean sequencers but this sounds great and big respect for them finally allowing import of user sounds.
Sold! I've avoided UVI for years-- I don't need another ecosystem!-- but this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks as usual for the cogent walkthrough, Jam Master C!
That's great - instant buy. I would love that UI and rhythmic approach on Drums. With a selection of Sounds on a Cloud like XO have. My personal Dream. Tnx to Cameron as always a great presentation
Quality review as always. I've got lots of great UVI stuff but I'm feeling this just misses the mark for me. I prefer round robins or especially velocity layers and the ability to import samples with velocity layers. I can't find answers in the PDF for a few things. Are your own samples saved in a preset? Can you drag and drop MIDI? Is MIDI even output so you can record it? I see that you can edit the velocity curve applied to the amp and filter so that makes up a bit for the lack of layers/round robings, but can this also be applied to your own samples? Nothing in the PDF about adding your own samples. Give us one more Cameron after morning coffee where you really dig in. I'm intrigued but not sold.
There should be a way for midi record if you use falcon (script events -> script processor -> utilities -> midi record), I was able to do it with other instruments, too.
Requiring Falcon in order to have MIDI export is a deal breaker. I'm actually more curious about how it handles user samples, how they are saved and if you can apply the velocity/filter parameters on user samples to avoid machine gunning.
@@Garflips - It's good but i wish FXpansion would bring back Guru or Geist as either of these would do what you are asking this to do. I was curious about some of the things you mentioned also as well as this, if you buy vintage vault, how many of these samples are included in the drum machines within vintage vault? I was wondering if it would be worth the additional cost for these samples basically or are there enough percussion samples in vintage vault. These are great samples but not many who are doing say pop or rock would use most of them in fact in the last 40 years i can only think of Living on the ceiling by Blancmange who used these kind of sounds within that genre of music.
There's been an update and some questions finally answered by UVI on the forums. MIDI export has been added and you can apply filter effects to user samples. I believe the big selling point here is the sequencers - they can be euclidean or highly syncopated if you want it. Apparently the samples have layers but UVI is never very specific about layers and round robins with their libraries. It sounds good though so I'm not knocking it.
Nice !!! Glad to see a move in this direction the Travelers using loops in World Suite was a great idea but I hate how time stretched instruments sound this is the way to go !!!
It's odd that nobody has answered this even a year later. I know Falcon 3 has a midi out thing. Perhaps the generated notes from the plugin can be routed to Falcon's midi out but if you only have Workstation, then this would be of no use. I think this question is critical to workflow. At 150 USD it is a non-trivial investment.
A bug I’m finding is that sometimes percussion factory doesn’t turn off when you’re playing it in your DAW. You can stop your project and all the other instruments stop, but this will keep going until you close your application
Is there a possibility to assign each instrument to an individual output? That would come in very handy, if it would be possible to multi track, especially with these sweet performance macros…
Yes. If you load the Multi-Output version of UVI Workstation and select Multi in the bottom of the Percussion Factory display instead of Stereo, then the Returns will be on Outputs 1-2, with each individual sound on stereo pairs following that.
It's good to see you enjoying the hell out of a plugin/expansion library. I've been creating user libraries in Falcon at a ridiculous lick all evening. It's seriously intuitive, and the World Tour presets are great for launching into an endless series of fusion groove variations.
Yes but as far as I can tell only one Surdo, a Brazilian band has at least 3 different size surdos. I'm strugging to find a prg that can emulate a 'bateria' .
I just read in the comments of this post that feature has been added. Of course I only find this out after I bought session percussionist for half price. But since music is how I make my living, I can almost justify buying this also anyway. I may have a problem, I may need to talk to a professional. I may be a plug-in junkie but I’m not going to any meetings. 🤪🎹♥️
this is amazing , i am just wondering how to multi route this fl studio . i tried the multi output auto map option but percussions arnt going seperately in the mixer .
Very Cool Product. Thanks for the video. Q. Is there a way to create more variations for a preset rhythm then switch to them via key-switch, for various sections of a song ? so far I only see you use the decimate, and steps knobs to create variations. Basically, I wish that there was a way to create rhythmic variations, and assign them to key-switches. I didn't see this in the video. The way you showed it, is that once you select a preset rhythm, that highest key triggers the full rhythm, but there is no way to switch to other rhythms via key-switches. So.. Am I missing something here ? how would you go about switching to multiple rhythms with this engine ?
It's interesting to note that most TH-camrs don't read the manual: No one showed how easy it is to use your own samples *BUT THEY COMPLAIN* that it's not possible to use custom samples. And 5 minutes in, you already answered the questions by showing how easy it is. It's smart of UVI to pay Cameron to produce these videos.
This looks great, and I'll almost certainly pick it up, but I feel like omitting drag-and-drop of MIDI sequences to the DAW is a major unforced error. Might it be added in an update?
There should be a way for midi record if you use falcon (script events -> script processor -> utilities -> midi record), I was able to do it with other instruments, too.
A great new product included in my SonicPass offering, thank you UVI. Cameron, you look a little pale, do take enough breaks mate, you have been very active but relaxing is good too. And UVI, any video about the takeover by Image-Line?
@@patrikfernstrom7607 Everyone is wondering the same thing. I can't imagine it wouldn't have this. Even the 39 dollar prime8 has it. I think there will be a lot of sales once this is clarified or implimented.
I’ve just got a reply back from UVI regarding this…. Percussion Factory does not feature a MIDI export option as it would not be able to cope with the Auto-Align feature. All shaken instruments have a pre-ring time that needs to be compensated in order to have a tight groove. To achieve that, all samples have been pre-computed to extract their rhythmic high-point. This latency varies greatly from one round robin to another, is not tempo related and can go up to 500ms. This is especially annoying for the first beat where the Percussion Factory engine smartly shortens this pre-ring in realtime in order to start directly. Furthermore, not implementing these features to MIDI would result in major differences between engine’s and DAW’s playback, which would be very frustrating. For more complex use cases, we recommend using several instances of the plug-in.
Whelp. Ya did it again. You released the exact thing that I've always wanted, but would never find anywhere near as good for Kontakt under 250 bucks. So....this sold the deal. I shall be in a committed relationship with my SonicPass subscription, and just do away with some other silly little synths I was rent-to-owning on Splice and uh...these other guys whom I know everyone here has heard of. Nothing can out do the Falcon and all your amazing Soundware magics
I think this plugin is wonderful: easy to generate ideas, the different types of swing, the possibility of dragging and dropping user samples... But... How about a JAZZ-oriented Percussion Factory, both classical and contemporary/progressive? I have been dreaming for a long time of a jazz-oriented Percussion Factory made by the UVI team... Thank you!
Wow! 🤯 I'm quite fascinated and surprised by the amazing *musicality* of the randomization function in this plugin, while simultaneously being a bit turned off and almost frightened by it. I'm starting to see a potential future where music is completely produced by AI... 😵
It seems like the only thing lacking is the ability to bind variations to the C4+ keys. If you could save variations to the Sequence play keys C4-C5, this would be an unstoppable plugin. I'm reading through the manual now to see if I've missed that feature but it doesn't look like it. Maybe UVI would add this feature in an update.
Interesting. I was wondering if there is just one surdo or multi pitched surdos as in a drumming/samba ensemble, or if not is there a function to load the surdo sample in a couple of times in the pattern and alter the pitches? I was also wondeing if the samples are velocity sensitive?
Did I hear correctly that you can add your own samples to it? Are we talking loops or oneshots? Seems like this would be really cool as a generative sequencer for a bunch of glitchy electronic percussion
You can add one shots by dragging them onto the instrument slots in the Main or Edit windows. It’s a simple system with no sample editing or browsing. Direct paths to the files are stored in the plug-in data and it will prompt you to find them if they move.
There should be a way for midi record if you use falcon (script events -> script processor -> utilities -> midi record), I was able to do it with other instruments, too.
BTW Cameron, do you know if these patterns this generates are something we can place into a DAW and use as MIDI? (If not, I suppose translating the audio into MIDI, is an option.) 🙂
love the sound of it does this have multiple "sequence"/patterns options? can i alternate between multiple pre-programmed sequences, or is all based on the one?
Hi there! Each preset in Percussion Factory is composed of 8 slots you can play and combine using the associated performance keys, but you can't assign multiple presets to each keys with a single instance of the product. For this type of use case, we recommend you to use multiple instances, or build your own custom Multi in UVI Workstation or Falcon. If you have any extra question, feel free to reach out to our customer support, they’ll be happy to help you further ☺️ You can contact them at uvi.net/contact-us. Hope this helps, Team UVI
An awesome piece of sw however there are two things i don't like about it and wish they got fixed. 1. Needs to have the "Auto-Align" option Off by default instead of being On or at least have a global switch at hand to do it for all 8 instruments at once otherwise when you drag the Midi onto your daw everything is de-syncced and sounds nothing like your arrangement in Percussion Factory (btw souldn't this auto align feature do the opposite?) and you manually need to enter each of the eight sequences to turn it off every time you switch presets cause A-A is always on. A pain and i don't know how this got overlooked. 2. From my experience UVI doesn't consider customer feedback, no matter how much info you provide to improve their products and benefit both sides. Once they've released something forget about updates, they just move forward cause they release so much new stuff i believe it's impossible for them to maintain or update. Maybe one day 🤷♂️
Hi There is a problem with syncing to the DAW transport function as UVI support tells me. Anyone else who is surprised? I do have a great amount of expansions to Falcon and they all sync very well, why this dont, I cannot understand. I am using Cubase pro 12 on a PC. Ciao! Peter There is no possibility to link Percussion Factory and your DAW's transport functions, but you can trigger the sequence in Percussion Factory in your DAW by using the note C4, and trigger the sequences for each individual sound by using the notes C2 to C3. You can also use the Export Midi function in order to generate a MIDI file corresponding to your sequence, that you can then drag and drop to your DAW. Hope this clarifies, feel free to ask if you have any further questions. All the best from Paris, Support Team
It's a pity about the Ilock thing - Ilock blue-screened my PC, and I had to fresh install from scratch. Also, you need another bit of CPU-draining software running in the background in addition to this. Otherwise, this would be a day-one buy for me, it sounds fantastic. Beats me (pun intended) why VST companies put all these hurdles between their products and their customers. I'll stick with getting Medolic's Beat Scholar when payday comes around - just drop the VST file into a folder and there it is in the DAW, no fuss.
Maximum number of hits in a 'circle' is 16 ?. When odd meters is concerned I wonder how Percussion Factory deals with for instance 17/16 23/16, and as in First circle 22/8? I'm kinda into that sort of stuff. I get it that for instance 11 15 14 7 hits per 'circle' is fine, as long as it it below 16. So again, how about 17, 23, 22 etc beyond 16. ?
It looks like you can have different lengths per circle, and combining loops of 3, 4 and 5 would produce similar results over multiple bars. That’s what the video suggested anyway. You can also run set your daw tempo to 1/2 tempo or 2x so ex 12/16 can be 6/8 or 24/32. Just a thought. The ideal situation would be native support for any fraction.
Percussion Factory sounds really good and has some great features. Unfortunately it sounds very repetetive. This is because a sequence can only have 16 steps. What a pity! I know that other musicians have already asked for an update with increased steps. Will there be one?
@@djjuno106 Thank you! This sounds rather like a workaround and I do not use Falcon. I'm not a programmer, but I can imagine that - if UVI wants it - it shouldn't be a big deal to implement more steps into Percussion Factory itself.
After watching this I was very excited and bought the plugin only to find it to be one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had with a music plugin. 1. Worst activation process I've ever had for any plugin. Insanely convoluted for no reason. 2. You cannot export midi or route live midi out! 3. Most importantly YOU CAN'T SYNC THE PLUGIN'S PLAY BUTTON TO THE DAW!!! You can only sync to the tempo!!! This means literally no way to get the beats into your DAW except by recording as an external instrument!! I messaged UVI for a refund. I will update here as they respond.
Thanx for that additional info, when I´ve heart and read UVI Workstation or Falcon, iLok and Internet connection to activate it just not a good feeling for 99 $
Thanks for having me again UVI! May the groove head be with you 🕺
Thank you for the nice overview! Can the randomly generated grooves be renamed and saved?
🍫☕🍹🍸🥂🍷🥤 amazing percussion thing
With every new release UVI open up a whole new world of creative ideas. It is almost overwhelming. As usual, thanks for sharing.
Great overview - always enjoy your reviews.
Can you explain “groove head count”. Your meaning “meter”? Accents? Thanks
@@CadenceMusicStudio it was gently self deprecating humor. Watch his head as the count tracks his grooviness.
Dang, didn't know you can drag your own Perc samples into Percussion Factory! Love that.
Yes but can I drag stuff out? 🎹♥️
That plugin is expertly put together. Not just for recording and producing music but also for something to practice along with.
Hey guys. Awesome library. Do you have any plans on updating Drum Designer library with the user sample import feature? It would be awesoooome
I love complicated alternating rhythms that evolve.. this plugin is killer.

Hi there!
Each preset in Percussion Factory is composed of 8 slots you can play and combine using the associated performance keys, but you can't assign multiple presets to each keys with a single instance of the product.
For this type of use case, we recommend you to use multiple instances, or build your own custom Multi in UVI Workstation or Falcon.

Hi There is a problem with syncing to the DAW transport function as UVI support tells me. Anyone else who is surprised? I do have a great amount of expansions to Falcon and they all sync very well, why this dont, I cannot understand. I am using Cubase pro 12 on a PC.
Ciao! Peter
There is no possibility to link Percussion Factory and your DAW's transport functions, but you can trigger the sequence in Percussion Factory in your DAW by using the note C4, and trigger the sequences for each individual sound by using the notes C2 to C3.
You can also use the Export Midi function in order to generate a MIDI file corresponding to your sequence, that you can then drag and drop to your DAW.
Hope this clarifies, feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
All the best from Paris,
Support Team
can you route them to different audio tracks?
I was also wondering this. @UVI does Percussion Factory have multi outs?
Good question. According to manual page 6 it has 9 output channels. Midi export is also possible.
Tried it out in FL Studio
Very like Rhytmus by Naroth Audio
WHY isn't it showing up in my UVI Portal???
Available for ipad???
Quaqreb for gnawa grooves?
It's a pity about the Ilock thing - Ilock blue-screened my PC, and I had to fresh install from scratch. Also, you need another bit of CPU-draining software running in the background in addition to this. Otherwise, this would be a day-one buy for me, it sounds fantastic. Beats me (pun intended) why VST companies put all these hurdles between their products and their customers. I'll stick with getting Medolic's Beat Scholar when payday comes around - just drop the VST file into a folder and there it is in the DAW, no fuss.
Ilok protects the salaries of the people making these plugins. Hurdles to you, feeding their families to them.
@@urbanman1516 Quite the opposite - Ilock feeds piracy.
I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.
Maximum number of hits in a 'circle' is 16 ?. When odd meters is concerned I wonder how Percussion Factory deals with for instance 17/16 23/16, and as in First circle 22/8? I'm kinda into that sort of stuff. I get it that for instance 11 15 14 7 hits per 'circle' is fine, as long as it it below 16. So again, how about 17, 23, 22 etc beyond 16. ?
It looks like you can have different lengths per circle, and combining loops of 3, 4 and 5 would produce similar results over multiple bars. That’s what the video suggested anyway. You can also run set your daw tempo to 1/2 tempo or 2x so ex 12/16 can be 6/8 or 24/32. Just a thought. The ideal situation would be native support for any fraction.
And it import samples??? Oh lawd!
Percussion Factory sounds really good and has some great features. Unfortunately it sounds very repetetive. This is because a sequence can only have 16 steps. What a pity! I know that other musicians have already asked for an update with increased steps. Will there be one?
You could get more steps by loading this up in falcon and adding one of the sequencer,arp utility plugins.
@@djjuno106 Thank you! This sounds rather like a workaround and I do not use Falcon. I'm not a programmer, but I can imagine that - if UVI wants it - it shouldn't be a big deal to implement more steps into Percussion Factory itself.
should be fl Percussion Factory me thinks :)
Nice plugin but to small number of presets and sounds are very traditional
Shut up and take my money! Money 💰 😮
Cool, but have ""gun effect" and for this reason it doesn't sound natural on some presets.
After watching this I was very excited and bought the plugin only to find it to be one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had with a music plugin.
1. Worst activation process I've ever had for any plugin. Insanely convoluted for no reason.
2. You cannot export midi or route live midi out!
3. Most importantly YOU CAN'T SYNC THE PLUGIN'S PLAY BUTTON TO THE DAW!!! You can only sync to the tempo!!! This means literally no way to get the beats into your DAW except by recording as an external instrument!!
I messaged UVI for a refund. I will update here as they respond.
Thanx for that additional info, when I´ve heart and read UVI Workstation or Falcon, iLok and Internet connection to activate it just not a good feeling for 99 $
We unfortunately live in a world where 3 mediocre you tube influencers can cancel a great man who founded an important company .
I normally spend anywhere from $400-$700 EVERY black Friday. This year I didn't spend squat. And I won't be spending ever again.
What outfit? I'm sitting here buck naked
