Boom is a virtual drum machine that features a broad range of electronic percussion sounds, paired with a simple, drum-machine-style pattern sequencer. Boom is as an RTAS plug-in that is part of the Avid Virtual Instrument collection of plug-ins.

Drum patterns can be created from scratch, or adapted from one of the included preset patterns. Patterns can be triggered and switched in real time with the mouse or using MIDI data, facilitating the rapid creation of evolving drum patterns.

Boom comes with 10 drum kits inspired by classic electronic drum machines. Each individual sound in a kit can have its volume, pan, pitch, and decay manipulated and automated in real time.

Sounds can be shaped to fit the needs of your production, and even given further animation over time using automation.

Each pattern is one bar long, with sixteen 16th-note steps. Up to 16 patterns, along with kit and control settings, can be saved with each Preset.
