Out Now: Beatmaker RICO by UJAM

German-American plug-in maker UJAM announce their eleventh electronic drum machine plug-in: Beatmaker RICO. The company collaborated with composer and sound designer Martin Seyer (https://www.martinseyer.com/) to create an authentic Reggaetón plug-in with classic and more traditional latin rhythms like Paso A Paso; offbeat rhythms that break away from 4 to the floor like Perreo; and hard-hitting beats in Styles like Pichudo.

The unique special control Me Gusta (the bipolar control right next to the Drum Kit selection) adds stereo width and instrument isolation for a larger than life beat when dialed up, or bringing everything mono with a tight, crunchy distortion when set to negative. Perfect for distinguishing the vibe between verse and chorus.

RICO adds to the Beatmaker series including IDOL (modern K-Pop), GLORY (trap and modern hip-hop), NEMESIS (cyberpunk beats), KANDY (billboard charts pop), HYPE (progressive house), EDEN 2 (HYPE’s EDM sister), DOPE 2 (90s hip hop), HUSTLE 2 (trap & grime), VICE (80s synthwave) and VOID (drum & bass).

RICO is available now in VST, AU 2 and AAX formats and also as a free, fully functional trial at ujam.com.

RICO contains the following features:

• 20 styles, 50 presets
• 10 drum kits, 460 patterns
• MIDI Drag and Drop
• Special control: Me Gusta
