What DAACI Natural Drums is
DAACI Natural Drums is an assistive AI co-pilot plugin that creates drum grooves in real time on macOS and Windows. It can build from your input or start a basic pattern for later editing. Controls let you add embellishments and fills, change shuffle and raise complexity. The plugin includes bespoke electronic and acoustic samples, including two vintage kits from LABS by Spitfire Audio. You can use it as a VST/AU instrument that outputs MIDI and audio, or as a MIDIFX version with your own instruments. Listed DAWs include Logic Pro X, Ableton, Cubase, Reaper, FL Studio, GarageBand and Pro Tools. macOS 10.15 is supported; macOS 10.14 and earlier and Linux are not. DAACI recommends macOS 12+ and Windows 10+. The lifetime licence is listed at $134, paid once and is out of stock. There is no free plan.
