Producer with headphones in the studio

ROOTS is an AI-powered drum plugin that listens to your track and recommends authentic, human-recorded African and Afrobeat-inspired drum loops that fit your groove, tempo, and vibe.

ROOTS is built to run inside your DAW as a plugin so it can analyze your session in context. Standalone support may vary by release—check your installer notes for the latest supported hosts.

AI is used to understand your audio and prompts, then match you to the right loops from a curated, human-made library—without generating fake drum audio.

You get access to the drum library, AI matching, downloads based on your plan, and regular content drops. Pro unlocks unlimited recommendations, full library access, and stems where available.

An internet connection is typically required for AI analysis, licensing checks, and library updates. Offline playback of already-downloaded material may be possible depending on your setup.

Yes—library samples are provided royalty-free for use in your productions within the license terms. Always review the EULA for broadcast, redistribution, and commercial limits.

Manage billing, upgrades, and cancellation from your account portal or the platform where you purchased ROOTS. Pro is billed monthly unless you switch billing options when available.

Upload support depends on the product version. Many builds let you reference external audio for analysis; check in-app settings or release notes for your build.

New drops ship on a regular cadence—Pro members get new packs and loops as they're added, with highlights called out in-app and via release notes.

ROOTS targets both Mac and Windows for major DAWs. Verify your OS version and plugin format (AU, VST3, etc.) against the download page before installing.

Yes. Start with prompts or browse the library, preview loops in context, and download what fits. Tooltips and a shallow learning curve help you move fast without sound-design overhead.
