The Audio-to-MIDI Plugin for Drums
Prism: Drums is a next-generation audio-to-MIDI engine that converts your drum audio into editable MIDI. Designed for producers, musicians, and transcribers who demand accuracy and detail.
Built on advanced machine-learning techniques, Prism: Drums converts drum audio into clean MIDI with high-resolution timing and dynamics. It recognizes 9 drum components: kick, snare, closed hi-hat, open hi-hat, crash, ride, high tom, mid tom, and low tom
PRISM: DRUMS · AUDIO EXAMPLES
Hear the groove. Compare the MIDI.
Listen to the original real drum audio, then compare it with the unedited Prism: Drums MIDI conversion rendered back to audio. Note that the Prism converted MIDI is rendered using a VSTi so it will sound different.

Why Prism: Drums?
Recognizes Nine Drum Components
Kick, snare, hi-tom, mid-tom, low-tom, open hi-hat, closed hi-hat, crash, and ride.
High timing resolution
Prism: Drums accurately detects subtle timing variations that are inherent in a lot of drum playing.
Frictionless Workflow
Works in ARA mode where supported, and as a standard insert plugin in every major DAW.
Built-in Fully Featured Midi-editor
Yes, we realize your DAW already has an excellent midi-editor, but having a built-in editor allows you to tweak the algorithm and see the results without having to do multiple round-trips of dragging the audio into your DAW.
Built-in Drum Sampler
We also realize your DAW has way better Drums sounds than the simple drum sampler we've built in to Prism: Drums, but it is really convenient for testing out the generated midi before dragging it into your DAW.
State of the Art
We've invested a LOT of time and thought in developing our proprietary drum-to-MIDI algorithm to get them to the point where we were happy with the results. We hope our efforts are useful for you.

FAQ
Which DAWs are supported?
Prism Drums supports VST3, AAX, and AU plugin formats.
Prism Drums can run in either ARA mode (if supported by DAW) and as a normal "Insert" effect plugin. If your DAW does not support ARA2 plugins, then Prism Drums can be used as a normal Insert plugin. ARA2 is a complex plugin format and even if your DAW supports ARA, the DAW may not support ARA all plugins.
Prism Drums is known to work in ARA2 mode in the following DAWs:
| DAW | Known Version |
|---|---|
| Pro Tools | 2025.6 |
| Cubase | 14 |
| Nuendo | 14 |
| Reaper | 7 |
| Studio One | 7 |
| Logic Pro | 11.2 |
| Cakewalk Sonar | 2024.11 |
If you have an earlier version that supports ARA2, use the Prism Drums free trial period to verify that it will work in your DAW. Note that even if ARA2 is not support, Prism Drums can still be used in non-ARA mode.
