What Heat Up 3 Is For
Designed for beatmakers and urban music producers, Heat Up 3 is an all-in-one sound source for composing Trap, Hip-Hop, and RnB beats. Its library covers essential categories-808s, arpeggios, sequences, bells, basses, brass, drums, keys, guitars, flutes, pads, leads, etc.-with expressive response and radio-ready output straight from the plugin.
Main Features
Multi-sampled sound engine
Each instrument is multisampled across its entire range to preserve tuning, attack, and playing nuances from the lowest to the highest notes. Instruments come from both real recordings and syntheses derived from analog and digital hardware, offering a coherent yet extremely diverse palette.
Sound design and modulation
"Expression" mode to humanize timbre and dynamics, 2 ADSR envelopes and 2 LFOs with waveform editor and free routing to any parameter. Ideal for sculpting attacks, vibratos, tremolos, or filter sweeps tailored to your groove.
Built-in studio effects
12 high-quality effects in a reorderable rack: reverb, chorus, compressor, vibrato, tremolo, reverse, and more. A "crystal clear" limiting algorithm controls output level to avoid distortion even when exceeding 0 dB, while preserving impact.
Sequencer and performance
A powerful sequencer with many presets accelerates inspiration and melodic or rhythmic prototyping. The "Humanize" mode introduces slight timing and dynamic variations for more organic and credible patterns.
Creative layers and on-the-fly samples
The "Atmosphere" layer adds textures and artistic noises (tape hiss, vinyl crackle, wind, rain, etc.), with drag-and-drop of your own samples. Trigger random or systematic "On Release Samples" to enrich note endings, also via drag-and-drop.
