Meet BOUNCE: Bring the Sound of Y2K R&B, Hip-Hop, and Club Music to Your Productions

The sounds of the Y2K era are back and they’re ready for a new generation of producers.

From swung R&B grooves and punchy hip-hop drums to glossy workstation keys, funky clavs, and unmistakable synth leads, the late ’90s and early 2000s left a lasting mark on modern music. Now, UJAM brings that distinctive sound to your studio with Beatmaker BOUNCE and Usynth BOUNCE, two complementary plug-ins designed to make creating Y2K-inspired tracks easier, faster, and more fun.

Whether you’re producing smooth R&B, nostalgic hip-hop, upbeat club tracks, or contemporary pop with a retro edge, BOUNCE gives you the essential rhythmic and melodic ingredients to get moving.

Beatmaker BOUNCE: Find Your Groove

Great Y2K-era productions start with a groove that makes you move. Beatmaker BOUNCE takes inspiration from the drum machines, sampling techniques, and MPC-style workflows that helped define the era.

Expect tight, punchy drums and rhythm-focused patterns that move effortlessly between laid-back R&B, head-nodding hip-hop, and energetic club beats.

What’s inside?

• 10 drum kits and mix presets to get your sound in the right place.
• 25 styles covering a variety of grooves and rhythmic approaches.
• Juggle control featuring reverse and beat-repeat effects for creative fills, transitions, and rhythmic variations.

From a smooth, swung beat to a hard-hitting club rhythm, Beatmaker BOUNCE gives you a quick starting point for building tracks with character and bounce.
 

Usynth BOUNCE: Bring Back the Workstation Magic

No Y2K-inspired production would be complete without the sounds of classic digital workstations. Usynth BOUNCE draws inspiration from the iconic synth palettes of the era, including the character of instruments such as the Korg Triton.

Its sound library covers a wide range of sounds that are ready to play, shape, and make your own.

Explore a palette of:

• Punchy basses for driving low-end grooves.
• Bright synth leads for memorable hooks and melodies.
• Funky clavs and glossy keys for classic R&B flavors.
• World-influenced instruments and distinctive synth stabs.
• Layered orchestral textures for bigger, more cinematic arrangements.

With 100 synthesizer patches and 100 global presets, Usynth BOUNCE makes it easy to find inspiration without spending hours programming sounds from scratch.

A built-in sequencer/arpeggiator and multi-effects processor give you additional creative options, while the streamlined interface keeps sound design accessible and the focus on making music.

Two Plug-Ins. One Complete Vibe.

Beatmaker BOUNCE and Usynth BOUNCE are designed to work together, giving you a powerful combination of drums, basses, leads, keys, and textures for building complete arrangements.

Start with a groove in Beatmaker BOUNCE, add a bassline and a hook in Usynth BOUNCE, and build from there. Or use either instrument independently to bring a touch of Y2K character to your existing productions.

No need to hunt down discontinued hardware or dig through endless sample folders. BOUNCE brings the inspiration of the era into a streamlined, modern workflow.
