In their own words
Atlas 2
Atlas 2 uses AI to sort and organize drum samples, helping users find sounds and build beats. It runs as a standalone application or as a VST, VST3, AU or AAX plugin in major DAWs, with downloads for macOS, Windows and Linux; Linux support is experimental. It accepts formats including WAV, AIFF, FLAC, OGG, MP3 and WMA. The drum sequencer imports MIDI while preserving its original timing, supports polyrhythms, and exports MIDI and audio loops. Users can map MIDI, send MIDI to other plugins or hardware, and drag drum pads into applications such as Ableton Drum Rack. Samples can be embedded in a DAW project with the Atlas plugin instance. The 14-day trial unlocks all features, then continues outputting audio but hides the interface and prevents editing. The full version costs 99.00 USD as a one-time purchase and can be installed on three machines; it is 64-bit only.
