About drumGRIDUpdated 7 days ago

drumGRID is Rapid Flow's drum sampler and step sequencer. It plays mix-ready drums sampled from analog machines, on one grid: 16 lanes, up to 128 steps, Euclidean patterns, and shuffle taken from omniCLOCK.

The machines in the current version are:

  • MFB Tanzbär MK I
  • Vermona DRM1 MK IV
  • Cwejman BLD
  • Nord Drum 3P
  • 8RAW8, an 808-type machine

More machines are planned for later, including a 606-type, a 909-type, the Elektron Analog Rytm MKII, and the Erica Synths Perkons. There is no date for those yet.

The price depends on your account, so it is not listed here. Your price is on the product page:

drumGRID on rapidflow.shop

If you own the Omega Bundle, drumGRID is included. Open the drumGRID email we sent you and use the link in that email.

If your own drumGRID email includes a code, use that code on the product page. A code sent to someone else will not work, and it does not combine with another discount.

After you buy, log in at rapidflow.moonbase.sh with the email you used at checkout. Download the installer shown there for your computer. That file is the latest public version.

Quit your DAW completely after installing, including the icon in the menu bar or the system tray, then open it again. The new version loads only when the DAW starts.

Logic will not load drumGRID as a multi-output instrument

Stereo and mono still play when the multi-output insert fails. On a Mac this is usually Logic's plug-in check, or macOS blocking the plug-in. Try these steps in order:

  1. In Logic Pro, open Settings, then Plug-in Manager. Find drumGRID under Rapid Flow, select it, and choose Reset & Rescan Selection.
  2. In macOS System Settings, open Privacy & Security. Turn on Full Disk Access for Logic Pro. If macOS says a background item or a developer was blocked, click Allow Anyway.
  3. Restart the Mac. Open Logic and insert drumGRID as a Multi-Output instrument.

If it still will not load, reply to us and tell us what Logic shows next to drumGRID in Plug-in Manager. We will take it from there.
