Trax Black Friday: 80% off this drum machine plugin by Thenatan Audio, which brings it to $10 until Nov 19, 2026.
The maker built Trax as a drum machine VST for modern Hip-Hop, Trap, R&B and EDM. It ships with more than 400 drum samples and 50 pre-mixed kits, so you can start a beat without building a kit first.
The interface is modelled on a hardware rack, with an 8-channel mixer and layered FX.
Trax ships with fifty ready-mixed drum kits spanning every corner of the Trap genre, plus more than 400 individual drum samples that have already been equalized and processed so they can be used right away. Its mixer sends eight channels out through sixteen stereo outputs, and it adds analog-flavored reverb and distortion along with hiss, noise, crackle and cassette textures. New expansions arrive monthly, each with interfaces designed to fit the kits.
Each of the 8 channels has its own volume, pan, pitch, reverb and layered FX controls.
Attack and Release controls shape the dynamics of each drum. That means you can tighten a kick or stretch a snare tail without leaving the plugin.
The hiss, noise, crackle and cassette effects are there for sound design. Use them to rough up a clean drum and give it a worn, dusty texture.
The maker lists ultra-low CPU usage, aimed at laptops and lower-spec PCs and Macs. Patches also load fast, so swapping kits mid-session shouldn't stall your flow.
The 16 stereo outputs let you route each channel to its own bus or send in your DAW for separate processing.
