Follow your flow

Triaz keeps your drum production flowing without getting stuck in the details. Most drum production tools go to the extremes of being overly simple or unnecessarily complex.

Triaz was designed to let producers, sound designers and artists move seamlessly between the most demanding details of drum production.

Triaz is incredibly fast and easy to use while still letting you dive into the sonic nuances that set top creators apart. All without ever losing sight of what matters most: making music.

Next level layering

Create entirely new and previously unheard drum sounds effortlessly using Triaz’s innovative approach to drum layering.

Visually blend up to three distinct samples on any of the 12 drum channels or modulate the XY pad mix position with the Motion Sequencer for creative sonic exploration.

Craft your ideal kick by combining an 808 sub, acoustic bass drum, and vinyl crackle, or experiment with layered hi-hats, each with unique panning, filter, and LFO settings.

Whether using our extensive library of 15,000 included drums or importing your own, new sonic territory is only a click away.

Tweak

Tweak your beat to perfection with Triaz’s extensive sound design parameters.

Get creative with multi-mode filters, envelopes, distortion, LFO’s, modulation, reverse, random panning, start position, and more. All available per layer.

Use slop to add humanization to each drum hit by subtly randomising volume, tuning, start position and filter cutoff.

Take modulation to new heights with parameter sequencing. Right-click any control to assign and modulate it with the Motion Sequencer in sync with your beat.

Ready to randomize

Instantly generate new beats and kits on the fly with Triaz’s Drum Randomizer.

Effortlessly remix the 700+ included presets, or automatically build kits from your favourite sample packs.

This powerful tool adapts to your preferences, intelligently selecting new samples for all Triaz’s 36 sample layers with a single click. Activate the ‘Similar Sounds’ option to discover fresh sounds that compliment your existing kit or disable it for entirely new combinations while still matching your current layout.

With full undo/redo support and sample randomization locking you can freely explore new kits and sounds no matter how far your sonic journey takes you.

Intelligent Pattern Generation

Effortlessly generate new grooves with a single click.

Instantly randomize and transform factory preset patterns or generate new sequences using assisted intelligence.

Refine the results by locking lanes from randomization, setting global and individual sequencer lane randomization intensities, reversing patterns, and choosing musical genres for pattern generation.

Use together with the Drum Randomizer to create production-ready beats in seconds.

Sequence like never before

Unleash your creativity and effortlessly craft dynamic drum loops with Triaz’s powerful sequencer.

Whether you’re a seasoned drum machine enthusiast or just want amazing beats, this could very well be the fastest and most fun you’ve ever had building drum patterns.

Take full advantage of Triaz’s 12 drum channels, each capable of independent sequencing with unique timing rate, loop length, and swing amount. Whether you’re aiming for the classic combination of swung hi-hats over a four-on-the-floor kick to make an EDM anthem or exploring the experimental realms of 7 over 13 timing for your next freeform Jazz record, Triaz empowers you to explore new musical ideas at the speed of inspiration.

Triaz’s sequencer offers new ways to visualize and edit your drums by adapting to your preferred workflow. Whether you choose to draw patterns by hand, taking advantage of Triaz’s robust per-lane features like ‘duplicate loop’ and ‘randomize’, or opt for the hands-on approach using your favorite MIDI controller with its powerful real-time recorder, Triaz’s sequencer infuses your drums with life and dynamic movement.

Create patterns with the authentic feel of audio and the flexibility of MIDI through a new approach that combines the best of both worlds. With six distinct editing modes and organic groove humanization, Triaz reshapes the way you interact with and build your drums.

Step

Draw drum patterns with dynamic velocity quickly with per lane colors for fast visualization. See a comprehensive overview of the drums for your entire production at a glance or use the ‘Focus Zoom’ mode to zoom into a specific lane for detailed precision.

Repeat

Set each drum hit to repeat between 1 to 9 times for each step. Effortlessly craft intricate hi-hat and snare rolls ideal for Trap beats, create IDM glitch effects from any sound source or add subtle ghost notes to a snare roll for a nuanced touch in a singer/songwriter ballad.

Chance

Adjust the probability of each drum trigger to build patterns that defy repetition. Whether you’re aiming for subtle variations in a background tambourine or constructing snare and tom fills with perpetual unpredictability, the Chance feature introduces a new layer of realism to your sound similar to the dynamic variations of a live performance.

Offset

Shift drums forwards and backwards in relation to each beat for a range of timing and groove variations. A crucial feature whether you’re recording your drums in real-time, capturing the nuances of an un-quantized performance, or chasing the perfect lo-fi feel by defining the subtle flam between every clap and snare hit.

Pitch

Fine-tune the pitch of each drum hit in semi-tones across two octaves. Transform a lone tom into an ideal pitched fill or craft melodic sequences and basslines to harmonize with your drums. Moreover, activate the ‘Keyboard Pitch Mode’ from the mixer for any drum to capture real-time melodic patterns using a MIDI controller.

Motion

Effortlessly sequence any of Triaz’s layer or channel FX parameters in sync with your beat using the Motion Sequencer. Simply right-click to make a Motion assignment. Whether dynamically adjusting the panning of a noise element in a snare drum, rhythmically fine-tuning distortion on a kick drum, tweaking the decay time of an open hi-hat, or automating the delay send of a clap, motion sequencing presents a gateway to infinite creative possibilities.

Shape

Shape, twist and enhance your drums with ease.

Triaz is equipped with a comprehensive set of mix tools to unleash your creativity and fine tune your beats. Each channel contains an intuitively designed tilt EQ, a punchy mastering-grade Compressor and a creative channel strip featuring a Transient Shaper, OTT Maximiser, Stereo Widener, Analog Modelled Saturation and an emulation of the iconic SP1200 sampler’s Tuning, Bit-Crushing and Sample Rate reduction circuitry.

Seamlessly modulate any of their parameters in sync with your beat with the Motion Sequencer or control them using hardware or DAW automation.

Whether you are aiming for a clean and punchy modern drum sound or dirty and characterful vintage tone, we’ve got you covered.

Creatively effect

Get creative with Triaz’s versatile suite of spatial effects.

Reverb A is an algorithmic reverb capable of everything from tight natural spaces to lush ethereal canyons. Reverb B is a convolution reverb boasting over 350 impulses captured from some of the best hardware reverbs and acoustic spaces in existence. It includes programs from analog plates, lofi springs, large recording studios, the iconic 80’s RMX NonLin, a heavenly modern digital reverb and many more.

The delay comes with tempo syncing, Ping-Pong mode, modulation, and, like all the FX Sends, can be controlled with the Motion Sequencer. Add depth and movement to your beat by programming the last clap of a beat covered in atmospheric reverb or add clarity to your fills by setting the exact amount of delay on each drum in a tom fill.

Triaz’s built-in effects are not only powerful and lightning-quick but also deliver the exceptional sound quality you’d expect from top-tier plugins. The best part? They won’t drain your CPU no matter how much you put them to work.

Mix

Triaz’s mixer lets you quickly mix your drums whilst retaining easy access to all the sound design and drum layer parameters above.

Set the perfect send FX amounts for Reverb and Delay, solo / mute, pan, motion sequence, or right-click any of the drum icons to open the drum icon browser to choose an appropriate icon for your imported samples.

Activate the ‘Keyboard Pitch Mode’ at the bottom of any mixer channel to play real-time melodic patterns using a MIDI controller. Open the advanced menu next to it to set drum retrigger time or copy / paste, swap, save / load entire drum channels with all sound design parameters and current sound selection intact for easy recall.

Master

Master your drums with exceptional loudness, impact, punch and clarity.

We’re serious about mastering – Always chasing that next level of sonic perfection. Distilling decades of experience with the finest analog and digital hardware, we refused to rest until we crafted a singular mastering chain that inspired us to stay in the box and keep our classic gear turned off.

Triaz achieves this with three distinct modules. A detailed four-band Mid/Side EQ, a punchy analog inspired bus compressor and a powerful maximizer featuring multi-mode saturation, characterful noise layering, an OTT style multi-band exciter, a dynamic modern limiter and a transparent hard clipper fined tuned for drums. Whether your goal is to transparently hit -10 LUFS or to smash your drum bus with the nostalgic feel of a thrift store cassette, Triaz offers all the tools you need to easily and effectively master your drums.

Export

Export your drums with unrivalled flexibility. Whether you want stereo drum loops for your next writing session, stems you can send to a mix engineer, processed one-shots or MIDI patterns to weave through a modular synth, Triaz gets your drums to the next destination in their creative journey with ease.

Effortlessly integrate Triaz into your creative workflow by dragging and dropping audio or MIDI directly into your DAW. MIDI export includes detailed pitch and modulation data for Motion Sequencing, enabling you to continue refining and editing your sequence within your DAW.
