Every producer knows the pain. You’ve built a killer drum groove—the pocket is tight, the tone is punchy, and the track is moving. Then you hit the chorus transition, and your creative momentum grinds to a halt.
Dragging in stock sample fills usually backfires because the room acoustics don’t match. Programming MIDI from scratch often sounds robotic, and digging through sample libraries burns precious time.
Dr. Fill, the drum fill creator plug-in solves this transition bottleneck by generating fills using the actual audio already in your session.
Drop a bar of your drum loop into Dr. Fill (or capture audio directly from your DAW track), and the plug-in goes to work. It automatically analyzes the tempo, feel, and swing, then slices the sound into its core voices: kick, snare, hi-hats, and percussion.
Because the resulting fill is built exclusively from your loop’s audio, it matches your exact kit, room tone, and processing chain. The result is a seamless turn-around that sounds like your session drummer played it live.
Dr. Fill offers 72 ways to answer your groove, auditioned in real-time as a two-bar phrase:
- 36 Drummer Fills: Authentic acoustic performance patterns complete with natural stick dynamics and ghost notes.
- 36 Producer Fills: Modern, glitched-out variations utilizing audio chops, stutters, and reverses for modern pop and hybrid genres.
Once you find the right fit, drag high-quality WAV audio directly into your arrangement, or export pre-mapped MIDI straight to Superior Drummer 3, Addictive Drums 2, Steven Slate Drums, BFD, or General MIDI setups.
Features include:
- Custom Fills on Demand: Generates drum fills instantly using your existing loop’s exact audio and room acoustics.
- 72 Contextual Variations: Features 36 realistic “Drummer” fills and 36 glitched/chopped “Producer” fills.
- Two-Bar Preview Engine: Audition every fill in real-time context alongside your main groove before committing.
- Versatile Export Options: Drag-and-drop WAV export (44.1 to 96 kHz) plus pre-mapped MIDI for Superior Drummer, Addictive Drums, Slate, BFD, and GM.
- Built-in Vault Integration: Browse and audition 235+ Yurt Rock sample packs featuring world-class session drummers directly inside the plugin.
- 3 GUI Themes: Switch between Original, Aurora, and Cool Light modes for comfortable late-night editing
Dr. Fill is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and standalone). AAX coming soon.
