UJAM announce Beatmaker 3

10/06/2025

Launched alongside Beatmaker CHROMED instrument

With the launch of Beatmaker 3, virtual instrument experts UJAM have combined all of their Beatmaker titles into a single, unified plug-in that sports a redesigned user interface and enhanced browsing features. It's also being released alongside Beatmaker CHROMED, a new virtual instrument that's been designed with fast-paced hyperpop-style productions in mind.

Beatmaker 3 The Beatmaker series has become a go-to toolkit for producers around the world, offering an intuitive way to create beats in a wide range of musical genres. The company say that the latest v3 update builds on that foundation, reimagining the series as a unified platform that supports every stage of the creative process. Numerous improvements have been made throughout the software, from a new user interface and improved routing system to a new set of tools designed to boost inspiration and make the software easier than ever to use. It includes 15 genre-focused drum instruments - covering everything from Trap and Lofi to EDM, Pop, Dubstep, Reggaeton, and beyond.

Key Features

Tag-based preset browser with genre, mood, BPM and title filters.

In-plugin content store with audio previews and one-click purchasing.

Mixer View with per-track control of saturation, filters, ambience, pan, solo and mute.

Sample View with shaping controls for attack, decay, dynamics and pitch.

Loop Browser with rhythmic visualisation, phrase filters and MIDI drag-and-drop.

Flexible keyboard mapping and random phrase assignment.

Post-fader individual output routing.

Scalable interface with improved visual feedback and navigation.

Beatmaker CHROMED Alongside the launch of Beatmaker 3, UJAM have also launched CHROMED, a new addition to the Beatmaker series that's been designed specifically for hyperpop, brostep, experimental sound design and other genre-blurring styles. Created in collaboration with genre-pushing artist BABii and sound designer Derek von Krogh, it comes loaded with a collection of mix-ready drum kits and patterns which UJAM say embrace loud, glitchy and unpredictable aesthetics. It's also been designed to encourage a performative approach to beatmaking, helping users to stray away more conventional ways of working and inject energy into their productions.

Key Features

10 unique 16-instrument drum kits.

20 Styles (total of 460 MIDI loops).

12 Mix Modes to kickstart projects.

Special control: Hyperdrive.

75 Global Presets.

17 ambience/reverb modes.

This launch is just the beginning. Version 3 introduces a unified platform and the first steps toward cross-title browsing and content discovery. There's much more to come, and starting now, Beatmaker will continue to grow more powerful with every title a user owns. - Adam d'Agostino, Product Manager, UJAM

Compatibility Beatmaker 3 and Beatmaker CHROMED are supported on PCs running Windows 10 or later, and Macs running macOS 10.15 to macOS 14. VST2, VST3, AU and AAX plug-in versions are available.

Pricing & Availability Beatmaker 3 is available now, and is currently (9 June 2025) being offered at an introductory price of $39. Beatmaker owners can upgrade for $19, and a range of custom Beatmaker bundles are available.
