Hammerhead Rhythm Station

The little shark is back. After 25 years, Hammerhead Rhythm Station returns as a fresh, mobile reinterpretation of the classic software drum computer that started it all. Hammerhead remains simple, fun, and playful, still feeling like a compact 90s groovebox, but now pocket-sized and designed to fit into your plugin ecosystem with new creative possibilities.

Choose from dozens of classic sounds and loops or import WAVs; design your own kicks and percussive tones with the built-in drum synth; run standalone or as a state-of-the-art AUv3 plugin (with per-channel outputs and MIDI); trigger sounds via MIDI when hosted as an AU; enjoy one-click compression and distortion with multiple sound models; explore random pattern generation, mutation, glitch, evolving polyrhythms, and an interface designed for immediate play rather than menu diving.
