InTrigger Drum Replacer is a Waves drum replacement plugin, and this Black Friday deal brings 60% off to $34.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
The maker's pitch is that replacement should take two steps. First the plugin learns the performance, then you pick a sample.
Waves says most replacers fall apart once a part has ghost notes, dynamics and bleed. InTrigger is built to handle exactly those.
You hit Learn and the plugin analyses the drum track. It detects hits, ghost notes and bleed, and sets the threshold on its own, so the maker says little tweaking is needed.
The Onset Gate keeps leakage and unwanted hits out of the triggering. That matters on tracks recorded with a lot of spill from the rest of the kit.
The Humanize knob shapes the envelope and dynamics of each hit. One sample then reacts differently from hit to hit, which keeps the drummer's original performance intact.
Samples are handled in the plugin itself. You can swap a kick, snare or tom for a new one-shot and hear it in the context of your session.
COSMOS gives you access to your own sample library from inside the plugin. You do not have to leave the session to find a replacement sound.
InTrigger Live is the second plugin in the package. Waves calls it the first zero-latency, real-time drum replacement plugin for live sound, with no hardware modules needed.
It runs from an eMotion LV1 or SuperRack setup. You can replace or layer drums on the fly, whether you are fixing a weak tone or adding something creative.
It is a streamlined version of the studio plugin. It uses manual threshold settings, leaves out Learn and COSMOS integration, and supports up to 4 layers.
The studio plugin is the one for mixing in your DAW. It has automatic detection, Learn, COSMOS and the 8-layer stack.
