From Sample Packs to BeatMaker 3 Drum Kits

Your sample packs are just folders of loose files, and building a kit by hand kills the momentum. Kit Maker builds the kits for you, automatically.

    Any drum packs (Splice, Loopmasters, or your own) and Maschine Expansions you already have.

Convert your Maschine Expansion kits for BeatMaker 3, too

The Maschine Factory Library and your Maschine Expansions are easy to process. Kit Maker rebuilds the drum kits inside each library as individual kits, ready to use.

Import your Maschine library folders, pick the pad layout you want, and make BeatMaker banks.

Or nearly any sample pack

Nearly any sample pack folder can be imported, including packs from Splice, Loopmasters and other stores. Packs with categorized subfolders are laid out into kits automatically. If a pack isn't organized by folders, Kit Maker builds kits from the filenames instead.
