Audio Realism ADM €113

Where some plug-ins emulate a single Roland beatbox, this one does an admirable job of recreating three.

ADM might not look quite like a Roland beatbox, but it certainly sounds like one.

Manufacturer's description

Booming bassdrums, saucy cymbals and crispy snares can be used to describe the sound of drum machines from the early 80's. ADM contains three classic vintage drum machines from that era rolled into one, combined with a 32-step internal sequencer and pattern controlled fx (PCF). Get all your patterns into ADM via the Import Rebirth function or directly from your old 909 via sysex.

Pros

Three classic Roland beatboxes in one plug-in. Sounds terrific! Captures the vibe of the originals. Sample import option. Great effects.

Cons

Adding samples is fiddly. Too faithful at times!

The bottom line

ADM delivers the authentic sound of not one, not two, but three sought-after vintage beatboxes, with only a few technical hindrances holding it back from higher marks.
