Overview
Once you have installed and opened up the Cloudrum, you’ll notice that the plugin can be divided into different sections. The biggest part, which starts at the top-left corner displays an illustration of a steel tongue drum. Right below is a 2D keyboard, which shows the notes you’re currently playing. At the right site you’ll find a mixer, some effects & ADSR. A preset “menu” and some additional settings can be found at the top.
MIDI
Like with most similar plugins, notes can be triggered using MIDI, clicking on the Cloudrum illustration or the 2D keyboard. In addition to just triggering notes you can also switch between two playing styles (sustain & mute) + there are 2 buttons to stop the ringing.
After clicking certain buttons I had problems triggering notes via my “computer MIDI keyboard”. To solve this I had to click on the 2D keyboard using my mouse sometimes. However, this problem didn’t occur while triggering notes with a MIDI clip or an actual MIDI keyboard so it’s really not a big deal.
Mixer
Using the mixer you can set the volumes for 2 mics + an additional synth layer. You can further control the width of the ambient mic, adjust the global panning and make use of the mute + solo buttons.
Effects
The steel drum VST further comes with 4 effects, including a reverb, delay, 5 band eq and compressor. Considering that most DAWs have pretty decent stock plugins these effects wouldn’t have been necessary. They are however a nice addition and empower you to create a wider range of presets.
ADSR & Global Settings
In the bottom-right corner you can adjust ADSR settings for “Synth”, “Sustain” and “Mute” and in the top-right corner you can access some global settings, including the master tune, voices and velocity sense.
Workflow
Some of the things I noticed while playing around with the Cloudrum plugin is that you can’t reset buttons by double-click or cmd + click. Since you can use the pad in the top-right corner to type in values with your computer keyboard this isn’t a big deal tho. There also isn’t a real preset menu, but you can navigate through the presets using the previous and next buttons.
Apart from some minor details the Ample Percussion Cloudrum works fine and does exactly what it’s supposed to do (especially considering that it’s free).
Best Free Drum Vst Plugins
Sound
The overall sound quality of this steel drum plugin is really good and since you have 3 sound sources + 4 effects you can use the instrument for different applications – no matter if you want an organic lead pluck or ambient pad.
Details
The Cloudrum is available for Windows and Mac in VST, AU & AAX plugin formats. You need about 1 GB of free hard disk space and if your computer can handle a synth like Serum this one shouldn’t be a problem either. Some further details about the specs can be found here.
Conclusion
All-in-all the Cloudrum is a great free plugin and if you have some space left on your drive you should definitely consider to check it out. It can be downloaded for free via pluginboutique.com or vst4free.com. Now it’s your turn 😉
For many years, the Middle East frame drum has been a constant color in soundtracks and music around the world. Applying our sampling philosophy to various instruments on the frame drum branch has produced some very organic and fresh sounds that, in combination with our X3M percussion motor, are simply a joy to play.
One of our main goals was to have the same round robins, to get as many playing tricks as possible, to allow us to write fast, but at the same time smooth and realistic-sounding drum arrangements. To achieve this, we carefully edited each individual sample of 10 circular robins manually and performed as many iterations as needed, after thorough testing of articulations in a real composition environment.
In addition to this, another important goal for us was to expand the sound palette of the traditional drum sound by adding other instruments that improve but do not change the aesthetics of the main sound too much. Therefore, the DRUM X3M frame not only consists of the same material that we have all heard countless times before, but contains new, but not yet heard instrument combinations that vividly embody your percussion arrangements. Recordings took place at Sofia Session Studio, where we also recorded previous X3M libraries, providing a smooth and easy overlay.
