Wave Alchemy - Triaz

Triaz is Wave Alchemy's drum production plugin for Mac and Windows: a drum machine, 15,000-sample library, polyrhythmic sequencer and mix bus in one instrument, for producers who want to build beats without leaving the plugin.

Three layers per drum

Each of the 12 drum channels can blend up to three samples on an XY pad, and every layer has its own filter, envelope, LFO, distortion, reverse and start offset. Stack a sub-heavy 808, an analogue thump and a bit of vinyl crackle and you've a kick nobody else has. There's an SP-1200-style pitch and bitcrushing stage too, for when clean isn't the point.

A sequencer that isn't a piano roll

Every lane runs at its own rate, swing and loop length, so polymetric grooves that drift in and out of phase are a couple of clicks away. Per-step pitch, chance, repeats and timing offset do the humanising, and the Motion Sequencer can step-modulate almost any parameter: filter sweeps on the hats, decay changes on the snare, delay throws on the last tom.

Randomise without losing the plot

The randomisers rebuild kits from tagged samples or generate patterns per lane, and a Similar Sound mode swaps in fresh hits that keep the vibe. With locks and undo, it's an idea generator rather than a dice roll.

Mixed before it leaves

Each channel has tilt EQ, compression, transient shaping, OTT and tape saturation, with an algorithmic reverb, a convolution reverb (350+ impulses) and a delay on sends. The master section adds mid/side EQ, bus compression and a maximiser. Drag the result into your DAW as audio stems or MIDI.

It's a deep instrument, but the library and presets mean you can be making beats in minutes. For trap, drill and lo-fi it's a natural fit, and the sound design side makes it just as useful for techno and experimental work. If you already have a drum sampler you like, the sequencer and randomiser are what you're paying for.
